Saver Award Space on this Rare Nonstop Route for Summer 2026

Rare economy saver award space is available on the only nonstop flight from the U.S. to Greenland, flying Newark (EWR) to Nuuk (GOH) on United Airlines. Select dates from June through September 2026 are showing 2+ seats, making this a standout opportunity for a hard-to-reach destination.

This route is especially valuable because United is the only carrier offering nonstop service to Greenland—all other options require connections through Europe or Iceland. Booking direct on United keeps taxes low at just $6 outbound and $105 on the return, and many connecting itineraries from other U.S. cities are pricing the same at 40,000 miles. Additional saver space is available to United co-branded cardholders.

Partner options are also available. Air Canada Aeroplan is pricing this nonstop at 40,000 miles + $57 outbound / $156 return taxes and fees, while JetBlue offers partner pricing at 34,500 miles with the same taxes and fees. If booking via Air Canada, take advantage of the tiered Chase Ultimate Rewards → Aeroplan transfer bonus through January 5, 2026, which can significantly reduce the points required:

• 15% bonuson 1,000–74,000 points
• 20% bonuson 75,000–174,000 points
• 25% bonuson 175,000+ points
• +10% bonuswith the Chase Aeroplan Card

Note that Air Canada charges CA$100 to change and CA$150 to cancel award tickets. With limited seats and peak summer dates, this is an award worth acting on quickly.
