Is United Polaris Or Singapore Business Class Better?
If I fly internationally (MNL-EWR roundtrip) on United Polaris, as a MileagePlus Gold, they allow me three bags, 70lbs/32kg each.
I have an option of the same itinerary on Singapore Airlines business for $300 less but 4 hours more travel time as opposed to MNL-NRT-EWR on ANA/UAL.
Do they allow the same baggage allowance?
What would you take?
The 3 checked-in bags are critical to me.

Personally, I would choose Singapore business class.
The seats are much wider, and their service and food are leagues better than United!
Mileage Plus Gold = Star Alliance Gold so you are entitled to one extra piece of luggage on any Star Alliance carrier, so yes to 3 suitcases 70lbs each.

Singapore!
Singapore is one of the best.
United is far from the best.

United is my choice.
No reason to travel longer than I need to.

If the bags are critical to you, I think the question becomes how you feel about the $300 fare difference.
That’s a personal choice as it’s a lot of money to some people but not others.

Is your time worth $300 for 4 hours?

Singapore any day – 40kg (2 bags) should be your normal J allowance.
If you are Star Alliance gold you get extra baggage allowance too which should cover your 3rd bag!
