They also have dynamically priced awards below the saver level that seem to come and go. Pricing can depend on factors like whether you have a United credit card or elite status, so be sure to login to your account for the best pricing.

Award seem to start at 5K miles for domestic flights such as Newark to Miami or Fort Lauderdale instead of 12.5K miles at the saver rate.

Best of all, unlike Delta, United’s cheapest awards don’t have basic economy restrictions. Plus domestic awards can be changed for free at any time. Domestic and international awards can be cancelled for free up to 30 days before departure.

 

 

Newark to LA awards from 6.5K miles instead of 12.5K miles at the saver rate:

Newark to London from 22K miles instead of 30K miles at the saver rate.

 

Newark to Paris from 23K miles instead of 30K miles at the saver rate.

 

I haven’t seen dynamic pricing to Israel until now. Here’s a sample Tel Aviv to Newark award for 29.5K miles instead of 42.5K miles at the saver rate. A paid one-way flight is $1,128, so that’s a good redemption rate.

You can transfer miles from Chase to United instantly at a 1:1 ratio, but don’t forget to check rates on partner airlines like ANA, Air Canada, Avianca, Aegean, Turkish, and Singapore. For example 42.3K Citi points can be enough to take that same Tel Aviv flight in business class!  This chart shows which points transfer to those airlines.

question

are these award flights fully refundable?

Choptz

Dates/range of dates for TLV-EWR? When’s earliest you’re seeing availability? THANKS!

David

Dec. 21 TLV-YUL connecting in EWR pricing out at 24k

united

will United let you board TLV to EWR, if oh Canada won’t let you in?

Shaul

Unlikely.

David

Are there any business class deals?

Menachem

Is the free changes and cancelation also on award tickets?

Sam

You have 24 hours to cancel…no charges. After that you can cancel and use miles within 12 months towards rebooking…no fee for changes. If you want to redeposit miles it’s either $75 or $125 per ticket…that they don’t waive anymore. Just confirm the above with an agent with 24 hours. They said these rules don’t apply to the lowest economy level. These rules require Rashi and Tosfos.

Dan, is there a way to fly tlv-yyz on air canada using points (amex, united, etc), but not book directly with AC? Until they change to the new program the taxes are so ridiculous it really makes no sense using points.

Bennyc

i see business class on united 75k April 1st

J knight

If a flight early 2021 using Mile needs to be cancelled before 30 days of departure there would be zero fee to redeposit miles? Thanks Dan!

shmilfke

Can you use Aeroplan with these?

Fgd

Jetblue has 2600 miles nyc to fll

shmilfke

Where do you see those calendars?

Logoc

How many points for Toronto to Miami?

united

“A paid one-way flight is $1,128”
Actualy, I just noticed that United started selling 1 way tickets to TLV for somewhat decent pricing. Was looking for Pesach. A one way with points EWR-TLV is 57.5k, and the same flight is $529 (around 34.5k Amex points)
It used to be that a one way was more expensive than a round trip….

Jeremy

I still think ANA has one of the most favorable award charts.

Fjdo

Thanks, as always! Just booked the fam for mid-winter break!

mendel london

Virgin Atlantic now has a 50% off sales for rewards and free covid-19 insurance!

Sam

Dan…Any insight into this dynamic pricing? Is it just holiday related or will we see rates like this (31K for TLV-EWR) in January as well? I’m waiting out the latest wave with my parents in Israel and want to fly back sometime in January. Thanks
