United’s long-haul premium cabin is Polaris. Domestic first/business is a different product. Search the route, then read whether the ticket is Polaris, United First, or a partner metal.
Polaris vs domestic first
Polaris on widebodies is a lie-flat business seat with Polaris or United Club lounge access where those lounges exist. Domestic first is a wider recliner. Do not assume the same meal or bag rules.
Bags and changes
Polaris typically includes two checked bags. Change and refund terms still depend on the fare purchased. They are printed on the FaresMatch offer — not on a generic policy page.
