Italy Trip 2017 - Non vedo l'ora arrivare


May 6, 2017 - On our way to Italy - Trying out United Polaris
Displaying the various UA Polaris swag...



We’re on our way! Non vedo l’ora arrivare. We’re on an overnight flight to Rome and will arrive about 10:50 AM after an 8 and a half hour flight.  We’re in the new United Polaris Business Class (Seats 10 J & K).  Really very nice – lots of room, seats become flat lying beds, Saks Fifth Ave pillows and bedding.

The time difference is 7 hours, so we’ll be arriving at 4 AM Chicago time. I’m thinking I’ll watch a movie and work on getting some sleep after our dinner is served.


Dinner was excellent, with champagne to start, a tuna crudo and quinoa appetizer, roast beef short rib and assorted sweets for dessert.  I watched “Deepwater Horizon” and then enjoyed a decent sleep for about 3 or 4 hours on the lie-flat seats that turn into beds.

Tuna and quinoa appetizer and mango salad to begin our dinner on the plane.


Goodbye to Chicago; we'll be waking up to Italy!

With morning, the Italian coast and Elba Island
