Great news for United MileagePlus members! After a year of mostly negative changes in the award travel world (we call them "devaluations," when your points become worth less), United is offering a bit of sunshine. They've lowered the number of miles you need to book business class awards on Star Alliance partner airlines. This is a big deal because it means you can now snag those luxurious business class seats for fewer miles than before. Imagine flying in style to Europe, Asia, or anywhere else the Star Alliance flies, without breaking the bank (or your mileage balance, at least!). While specific routes and savings will vary, this de-devaluation (or revaluation!) is a welcome change. If you've been hoarding United miles for a special trip, now might be the perfect time to check availability and book that dream business class flight. Happy travels!
