Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. during the low season, specifically from January 15 to March 15, to find better availability and lower mileage requirements.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 70,000 United MileagePlus miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the U.S. to Europe, where typical cash prices can exceed $3,000.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from San Francisco (SFO) to London (LHR) with a stopover in Frankfurt (FRA) for 60,000 miles in business class instead of flying direct for 70,000 miles, saving 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with United Airlines on transatlantic routes, as they often impose high fees; for example, a round-trip from New York to London can incur surcharges of up to $1,200 in addition to the mileage redemption.
