A United Airlines Polaris business class passenger got clever, creating a makeshift curtain to give her more privacy on her flight…clever or stupid?

A United Airlines Passenger Could Not Wait For Suites With Doors In United Polaris, Added Curtain…

Next month, it is widely expected that United will unveil its next-generation business class seat, which will include a closing door. In the meantime, one passenger got creative, utilizing the day blanket standard in United’s onboard bedding to create a makeshift privacy curtain during her flight.

It may not be Air France La Première, but she had the same idea…

Maybe a flight attendant can weigh in here…is something like this even allowed? I appreciate the ingenuity and chuckled at it, though I’m not sure why the privacy is actually needed…but I suppose that’s the same reason why I am skeptical about all business class suites with doors in the first place…

United actually has real curtains that go around flight crew seats in business class on some of its aircraft like the 777-200 and 767-300, but like this makeshift attempt, the “curtains” look pretty sloppy.

We’ll see what the new cabins on United look like soon enough and hopefully, no passengers will feel the need to make their own doors or curtains…
