Does United still have an award chart?
Not for its own flights. United moved to dynamic award pricing, so the same route can cost very different amounts of miles from one day to the next. Partner awards follow separate rules and are often more predictable.
- Official United rule
United does not publish a fixed award chart for United-operated flights.
- Publicly reported
The lowest ('saver') award space is what partner airlines can usually book too, and it tends to be released unevenly.
- TopTier estimate
TopTier compares each current price with the route's typical price over time to judge whether it's a good deal.
How do I know if an award price is good?
Compare it with that route's usual price, not with one search. A price well below the route's recent average, especially in Polaris business, is worth acting on. TopTier's Explore tool ranks destinations by exactly this discount.
