The three major US airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and American Airlines, each offer distinct business-class products for long-haul flights. These products are designed to cater to business travelers who prioritize comfort and convenience during their journeys.

Delta's offering, known as Delta One, has been considered the industry standard for years. It features lie-flat seating and a luxury dining experience with chef-inspired meals. Passengers can enjoy full-height privacy doors on Airbus A350 and Airbus A330-900 aircraft, along with Missoni amenity kits.

United Airlines' Polaris class is described as a formidable competitor to Delta One. It offers spacious lie-flat seats with bedding from Saks Fifth Avenue and private seating arrangements with direct aisle access. The service includes noise-canceling headphones and an entertainment system featuring large screens.

American Airlines provides the Flagship Business class, which includes lie-flat seating and chef-inspired meals similar to its competitors. Although it receives less attention compared to American's Flagship First product, Flagship Business offers a comfortable travel experience without the high-end brand partnerships seen in other airlines.

"With United Polaris business class, you’ll enjoy the best United has to offer," states United Airlines on its website. Similarly, Delta emphasizes that "Delta One has been the industry standard for years now."

While these offerings have evolved significantly over the past two decades, each airline continues to invest in enhancing passenger comfort and inflight services. Despite differences in branding and specific amenities offered by each carrier, all three strive to provide a luxurious experience for their premium passengers.
