United Airline’s Polaris Lounges are a step above your ordinary U.S. airline lounge experience. They’re a little fancier, a little nicer, a little roomier, and just generally a little better. This one in Chicago’s O’Hare International Aiport is one of a few open so far. If you’re on a Star Alliance operated, international long haul departing flight from Terminals 1, 2 or 3 in Business class, then you can gain access.

As these things go, access requirements may change, so too might may amenities and services. Be sure to check the airline’s website before your visit for the latest up-to-date information.

  1. Yes! More lounge reviews please, these are so detailed and helpful. This channel is literally a blessing for travellers and avgeeks.

  2. Holy crap this channel realllyyyy needs some exposure worthy of 1,000,000 subscribers

  3. 4:40 All those carbohydrate, lipogenesis references XD
    I guess you are involved in the medical/biochemistry field in some way? Am I right?

  4. Fantastic again! And funny enough, we both finished a lounge report at the same time! I just released one on all 4 Emirates Business Class Lounges in Dubai – which should be the most comprehensive report of all lounges there so far. Took me 6 weeks…
    And I keep being your great fan! Really good videos y informative, entertaining, smart (which I prefer way over Blabla without real content…..)

  5. Nice video! Just wondering what type of job you have that allows for all all this international traveling? I'm assuming some type of consulting role?

  6. Great presentation… U present things in a unique way… and we like it. Hope to see MORE LOUNGE REVIEWS in the future 😍 GREAT Job!

  7. Polaris at SFO is the best. Polaris burger is great and can keep you full until your onboard meal.

  8. Did you do all your video graphics? A med student, graphic designer, video editor and decent videographer? wow.

  9. We would like to see more of those lounge videos. 10% for the actual lounge, 90% for your descriptions. Much love 🙂 🙂

  10. I am pretty sure at 02:42 the dish is not chicken masala as it was written as chicken "marsala" and going by your pronunciation I am pretty sure you said it not being chicken masala. A DuckDuckGo search later I found out that chicken marsala is an American-Italian dish made using the marsala wine and after comparing with the photos on the search results I am not exactly sure the dish in the lounge matches up.
    I am neither American nor Italian.

  11. Im not going to ask why you spent an entire afternoon in the lounge. The food looked fantastic and it sure beats lining up at Burger King with all the plebs.👍

  12. dear spiritual leader, im just here to hear your sermon on food abundance and divine intervention via holy communion with champagne and to pray for the wealthy folks who loves to waste food 🙏🙏🙏 ohmmmmm 🕉️

  13. Nice video. Next time, please include the types of toiletries (soaps, shampoo, shower gel, etc.) in the bathroom/shower suites. This is of great interest to the travel snobs who enjoy these types of lounges – like me.

  14. May I ask what the name of the music was throughout the video?

  15. I've been wondering what the Polaris Lounge is like – especially since they chopped the United Club in half to build it. Disappointing to see the seating is the same but at least you can use them since the UC lounge is now jam-packed because of the reduced size. The Dining Room is a nice touch, as well as the showers, but United still lags behind Lufthansa's Senators Lounge or the ANA lounges at Narita. The United Club there is so bad, I'll hike over the United Club in the B concourse because it's more spacious. Thanks for the review and I'd like to see the other lounges you visit!

  16. I flew polaris to Hawaii and wasn't able to use the polaris lounge. They need to change this rule if they are selling this seating for domestic.
