"The United Polaris Lounge may be the oldest of the bunch, having opened in May 2018, but there’s no doubt that it’s the most luxurious. Reserved for those flying on the same day in the Polaris class on long-haul international flights, as well as First and Business passengers on Star Alliance international flights, the highlight is a full-service restaurant that comes included. As luck would have it, I was booked on a Polaris flight during a 24-hour flight delay and gained access. I alternated my time between a private, and very quiet, suite, where I worked and took calls, and the dining room, where the server let me go off the menu and order a fruit salad. Although there are 455 seats in its 27,000 square feet, it still manages to feel cozy."
