We're no longer publishing an award chart listing the set amount of miles needed for award travel on United^®, United Express ^® or Star Alliance™ partner flights. Prices for award flights will now fluctuate based on a variety of factors.

Increasing award prices for the most in-demand flights allows us to offer lower prices on other flights. If your award travel is flexible, these updates will help you make the most of your miles.

MileagePlus members can continue to book award travel without blackout dates.

No. Our lowest priced awards do not have any added restrictions; the fare rules for all award travel apply.

The award calendar on united.com or in our app will continue to show the lowest available price for your destination.

No. As with current award bookings, award travel in the future will not be eligible to earn miles with MileagePlus or any other loyalty program.

If you need to change your award ticket, you will be issued a new ticket for which new pricing and additional fees may apply.

The close-in booking fee will still apply to all tickets booked within 21 days of departure prior to November 15, 2019. We will not refund fees paid prior to November 15, even if travel occurs on or after November 15.

No, we are not making any changes to the Excursionist Perk. It will remain a benefit of the program.

Award pricing is based on a variety of factors, including demand, route, airline, and how far in advance the award ticket is purchased. Generally, booking your award flight further in advance will help you find the lowest price, and booking closer to departure may result in a higher price.

Even though award pricing can now fluctuate, you may still see fares labeled as Saver Awards or Everyday Awards, which is designed to help you find the lowest priced award available for your cabin. Saver Awards are the best offering we have on a particular flight. You can also visit our Flight awards deals page to check out our lowest award fares.
