United Airlines Brings Luxury Boeing 787-9 to George Bush Intercontinental Airport

United Airlines is set to introduce its newest aircraft, the Boeing 787-9, at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston this fall. The plane will feature a premium interior called 'United Elevated,' which includes new business-class suites and expanded dining options for all passengers.

The United Elevated interior boasts lie-flat seats with privacy doors, extra ottoman seats, Bluetooth connectivity, and 27-inch, 4K OLED screens. Business-class travelers can enjoy caviar service, including Ossetra caviar with Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé. The plane will start flying out of Houston on October 24 to destinations such as São Paulo/Guarulhos Airport in Brazil, Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport in Australia, and Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan.

The Boeing 787-9 can seat up to 325 passengers, but the United Elevated interior version will accommodate substantially fewer passengers. This is not the first airport where the plane has been introduced, as it began flying out of San Francisco International Airport earlier this spring.
