It would cost you 80,000 MileagePlus miles to fly business class on United or 88,000 MileagePlus miles to fly the same route on Lufthansa. The flight below shows a United Polaris ticket costing 200,000 miles for non-cardholders but only 72,000 miles for eligible United cardholders. Typical United business class award prices by regionSince United doesn’t publish an award chart, we searched for award availability across a range of dates, including up to a full year where necessary, to find the lowest one-way business class prices for each region. After searching award availability across an entire year, we couldn’t find a single business class ticket bookable with United miles for fewer than 300,000 miles.
