United currently is have a mileage promotion for flights between North America & Europe, where if you book an ticket round trip in economy, the amount of miles needed is discounted by 25% from 60,000 to 45,000 miles.
There are a few caveats:
You must book your flight by 6/28/2016.
Your flights must all be on United, which means you’ll have to make sure United flies directly to your city of choice in Europe as United does not fly intra-European flights.
Your first flight may depart no earlier than 8/23/2016 and your last flight my not depart no later than 3/31/2017.
Normal mileage rates apply between 12/15/2016 – 1/8/2017.
I personally wouldn’t use my miles to fly in economy in coach on United, as sales pop up quite frequently.
In fact, currently round trip tickets going to Europe from the US start at only $437!
Insider’s Tip: Almost everyone in the industry gets their airfare deals from a handful of sources. The best one by far is SecretFlying, which I subscribe to.
However, if you’re looking to save your miles and get your entire family to Europe, this is a deal worth looking at.
