United Airlines (UAL) Launches Base Polaris Fare for Premium Cabin

United Airlines (UAL) is introducing a new 'Base' Polaris fare starting this spring, designed for luxury travelers at a lower price point. This fare will provide access to long-haul business class cabins but will involve extra charges for advanced seat selection and allows only one checked bag. In addition, customers will have access to United Club lounges but not the more exclusive Polaris lounges. The move reflects the airline's response to increasing demand for premium travel options while also restructuring its cabin offerings to include more fare categories.
