In honor of “Twosday” (today is 2-22-22), United Airlines is slashing the price of its economy class awards to London to 22,000 miles each way when purchased round-trip.
United Airlines London Sale: 22,000 Miles Each Way From USA
The one-day sale is for London only and only applies when purchasing a round-trip ticket for travel originating in the USA.
- Awards are valid for roundtrip Economy tickets on United and United Express
- Valid for travel from March 1, 2022 to November 15, 2022
- Seats are capacity controlled and may not be available on all flights or days
- Roundtrip tickets are 44,000 miles with taxes/fees of $209 (the bulk of that being a UK departure tax)
A United spokesperson told Live and Let’s Fly, “United operates 22 nonstop flights a day between the U.S. and London—making it easier than ever to see Big Ben strike 2:22 in person.”
The number of daily flights is currently lower, but United plans an expansion this spring, including:
- Boston (BOS)
- New daily flight will begin this spring using a Boeing 767-300ER
- Denver (DEN)
- Daily flights will resume and a second daily flight will be added using a Boeing 787-9
- Newark (EWR)
- A sixth and seventh daily flight will be added using a Boeing 767-300ER
- San Francisco (SFO)
- A third daily flight will be added using a Boeing 777-200ER
Once all flights have resumed, United will operate the following flights from London Heathrow:
- Boston (BOS) – 1 flight
- Denver (DEN) – 2 flights
- Chicago (ORD) – 3 flights
- Houston (IAH) – 2 flight
- Los Angeles (LAX) – 1 flight
- Newark (EWR) – 7 flights
- San Francisco (SFO) – 3 flights
- Washington Dulles (IAD) – 3 flights

CONCLUSION
Do check the price of revenue tickets before using your miles to ensure you are getting at least 1.5 cents of value for your points once the $209 in taxes/fees are factored in. But for some pricier spring and summer days, this deal may make a lot of sense.

But then you have to fly economy to London on United, lol.
Crazy how American and Delta both have joint venture partners yet United still dominates London out of all the US carriers. I’m going LAX-LHR and then returning on LHR-DEN in June, can’t wait!
