Here are several other details you’ll want to be aware of before booking:

  • The promotion applies to new award bookings only.
  • Tickets must be purchased between September 26 and September 29, 2023, and round-trip tickets are not required.
  • The promotional rate is valid for award tickets from all mainland U.S. airports.
  • The promotional rate is valid for travel between today and December 14, 2023.
  • There are no blackout dates.

As stated in the promotion’s terms and conditions, you can book award tickets to the selected European cities from all mainland U.S. airports — and vice versa. Sure enough, we found several economy tickets at the 30,000-mile rate, even if a connection is required, like in the example below for a one-way ticket from Detroit (DTW) to Zurich (ZRH).

Remember, even if you don’t have a healthy stash of United MileagePlus miles in your account, you can earn them easily thanks to the program’s partnership with Chase Ultimate Rewards which allows you to transfer points at a 1:1 ratio into your United account.

Final Thoughts

If London has been on your mind, today’s a great day to book your flights, as long as you can travel between now and December 14.

For just 30,000 miles each way, you can fly to a selection of popular European cities and explore all they have to offer — or use it as a springboard for exploring another part of Europe.

If you’re thinking of getting in on this deal, make sure you book before September 29!
