What if your next fine-dining experience curated by a top chef actually took place at 35,000 feet?

This summer, passengers travelling on select international routes in United’s Polaris business class cabin will have multi-course menus crafted by 11 acclaimed chefs from four continents – each bringing a taste of some of the world’s most flavourful cities into the skies.

Developed alongside Netflix’s Emmy Award-winning “Chef’s Table” series, United's new in-flight culinary offerings include 30 new dishes spanning appetisers, salads and main courses.

Self-styled by United as the start of a “new era of in-flight dining”, the chef-curated menus will be taking off from 1 August through to September, with each representing either a domestic US hub city or key international destination.

Passengers can expect seasonal California cooking, modern American fine dining to contemporary European technique and bold interpretations of Asian and Latin American cuisine.
