United has just announced the initial routes that will offer their new Polaris business class seat on their first Boeing 777-300ER.

In the back of the plane there will be 102 Economy Plus seats and a whopping 204 Economy seats, all arranged in a tight 3-4-3 configuration. Here’s a look at United’s 777-300ER seatmap according to their website –
