United Airlines Flight Awards Starting At 4,000 Miles One-Way

Matthew Klint Posted onMay 6, 2021May 6, 2021 4 Comments

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of United’s MileagePlus loyalty program, United Airlines is discounting domestic and international economy class award flights during a one-day flash sale. This even includes United’s latest international route additions.

United Airlines Flash Sale: Award Flights Starting At 4,000 Miles

Today only (May 6th), you can book United Airlines domestic flights for as little as 8,000 miles round-trip or international trips, including Europe, Israel and Tahiti, for as little as 40,000 miles round-trip.

You can check out all eligible routes here.

Additional info:

  • Valid for travel from June 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021
  • Flights must be operated by United or United Express
  • Saturday night stay and roundtrip purchase are required
  • Fares are capacity controlled and may not be available on all flights
  • Taxes and fees starting at $5.60 not included

The list is long. Domestically, shorthaul and midhaul flights are included.

Internationally, several routes to Europe and Latin America are included and tend to represent a better deal than the domestic awards.


Tip: Always check the cash price of your reward before booking. While 8,000 round-trip sounds like a great deal, if the round-trip ticket costs one $100 you are wasting your miles. While 40,000 miles is generally a good deal for European or South American travel, if the fare is only $560 round-trip the miles are better off used for other purposes. Generally, I like to get at least 1.5 cents in value for each United mile (and often get triple that when redeeming for premium cabin redemptions).


CONCLUSION

If you are planning travel this summer and intend to use your miles, do check today’s sale and see if it makes sense for you. You only have until 11:59pm CT to book.

Do you plan to take advantage of this promotion from United Airlines?

    Zero routes out of Austin. Too bad!

    I wonder if they’ll get any takers on the CLL-IAH flight with a Saturday night stay.

The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles is the most beautiful of all Polaris Lounges. Stay tuned for a detailed look and many more photos on the blog tomorrow. Well done @united.
@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

Nearly five years ago, I took a “break” from I Nearly five years ago, I took a “break” from Instagram ahead of the birth of my first child. Goodness, how time flies. While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
