Great Deal: Business Class Fares to Europe – Don’t Snooze, You’ll Lose

Update 1220 pm, looks dead at least from what I can search on phone. Hope you got in!

Update: still alive 845 am eastern 4/2!

Better act fast on this one. I saw Lucky post this a couple hours ago, but for some reason there are a bunch of sub $1500 business class fares to Europe between a bunch of random city fares. Translation: You can get yourself to Europe in business class this summer for the price of an average coach ticket (in many cases, probably cheaper). Anyway I’m just posting this for anyone who doesn’t read One Mile at a Time – don’t want you to miss out. Note that Sunday stays are required and since this might be a mistake fare, don’t call the airlines and alert them to it – book online or let it go.

Some Lessons Learned from Travel in Europe

But in honor of my friends’ pending trip, here are some things we learned on each of our Europe trips. And of course, I know people have different views on travel, so if you disagree or have thoughts contrary to my own, I’d love to hear them! These are just my own silly thoughts.

Getting to Europe this Summer Before the United Devaluation

Even though you might not want to visit Brussels, it's your best bet to get to Europe this summer — Even though you might not want to visit Brussels, it’s your best bet to get to Europe this summer

Hello, I’m back from the dead (temporarily at least). As most of you know, United award redemption rates go up significantly on February 1st, 2014, with partner rates on premium cabins really going up a lot. Many people have been scrambling to beat the devaluation including some clients of mine who wanted to go to Greece this summer. There is still some space to Europe hidden away for summer travel, so I wanted to share my process in the hopes that you will be able to get to Europe on miles this summer too! (And hopefully you can redeem before 2/1!)
