The Big Picture

We had a great reader tip from Hunter Hall with lots of availability on Star Alliance between the U.S. and Europe through the end of schedule. The amount of points you’ll need varies. If you’re booking last minute, expect 80,500 United miles or 85,000 Air Canada Aeroplan miles. If you look farther out, United Polaris business class can be found for as low as 60,000 United miles. Check the San Francisco (SFO) to Paris (CDG) route for a steal at 60,000 miles.

There’s a ton of great destinations that you can hit. The ones listed are just for the major routes, so if you want to connect in Europe to another destination be sure to include that on your search and it should come up for no additional miles.

Take a look below at all the dates that you could travel with this spectacular business class availability. Some dates have upwards of 4-5 seats available, but all dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers.
