Put more simply, United is discounting Economy tickets to LHR down to 25k from the usual 35k.

Depending upon your airport there may be non-stops available at the reduced 25k rate. March spring break had no direct options discounted to 25k left for me, but there were still plenty of direct flights in February at the 25k rate. Weird to see the small fee on the outbound ($5) but the remainder on the return ($191), which I'm sure someone can explain.

Note that you'll need an electronic travel authorization (ETA) upon arrival this year which costs £10 (see here [gov.uk]).

Unfortunately this discount comes about a month before I've earned enough miles for the family. At the same time, I've soured a bit on London given that it's excellent as a destination but no longer as convenient for connections to other countries after Brexit as a U.S. traveler.

Good luck!
Jon

Tax on takeoff from the UK is about $190, but none for landing. This means you might consider an advance purchase of a chunnel train ticket and fly out of Paris CDG airport.

London airport tax for takeoff is an hilarious and offensive practice that mocks tourists to stay away from spending money in the U.K. I have obliged ever since they jacked it up. Let's spend our money elsewhere in non-Brexit Europe.

This was a go-to option for me (typically ending my trip at Amsterdam or Frankfurt to get ample cheap United options on return). However, the new customs regime queues as a non-EU / non-UK traveler were un-fun enough for me the last trip (traveling with small children) that I've basically sworn off transits via London. A great destination, but no longer friction-free.

Good luck!

They had Paris, Amsterdam, Munich and Frankfurt all week as well. Different day different city. Scored 50k round-trip non-stop yesterday SFO-FRA for next week.

For families, consider United new pooling options. https://www.united.com/en/us/mile...es-pooling

Takes a moment to setup but I think it will help us moving forward.

I'm connecting through EWR and have great flights for 25k each way booked, plus the free excursion flight to make it a DUb>LHR>EWR>home tiny airport.

I wasn't previously aware of this promotion and was frustrated that it didn't make it onto my radar earlier. I would have gladly saved 40k to grab some one-ways and figured out the return once the remainder of my bonus earning rolls in around March.

Congratulations on nabbing a quick deal.

Good luck!

Yeah, they should have advertised this better. Totally under the radar somehow. I only saw it by chance right the day before they offered the FRA trip. I already had a Condor flight that I needed to cancel then for a fee.
