United Airlines Mileage Plus

United sometimes has reduced mileage deals. For example, from now until the end of this year you can get round trip awards flights for 15,000 miles. Restrictions do, of-course, apply. All deals aside, United’s program is much like the others. Tickets normally start at 25,000 miles. United is part of the Star Alliance.

They also offer a boatload of other mile earning partners, including my favorite category – Mileage Plus Dining. You’ve got to eat, so you might as well earn miles while you do it.
