How to choose and what to confirm before booking
Start with the departure city and the details that matter to you, such as a door or Wi-Fi terms. Then confirm, for the exact flight:
- Aircraft and Wi-Fi: As of October 2026, Singapore Airlines' "Where to fly in Business Class" tool and JAL's flight search show the aircraft by flight. Cathay Pacific and ANA note that the aircraft assigned to a flight can change without notice, and Korean Air notes that the seat map on its website may differ from the aircraft actually flown. Korean Air's "Search for flights with Wi-Fi" tool and Air India's Flight Status page show Wi-Fi by flight.
- Fare type: ANA's Basic business fare (on some routes from North America from May 2026) includes one checked bag and, at San Francisco and Chicago O'Hare, United Club rather than Polaris lounge access; United's Base Polaris fare includes one checked bag and United Club access instead of Polaris lounges. Delta's Basic Business has seats assigned after check-in and loses Delta One Lounge access for travel from January 19, 2027.
