This award prices at 88,000 miles one-way in business class, compared to the roughly 140,000 miles United typically charges for this route and cabin. That's about 37% off the usual rate, making it a worthwhile use of your MileagePlus balance if Paris is on your radar.

Availability shows just 5 seats remaining at this price, so families looking to book multiple seats together should act soon. The low $30 in taxes and fees is a nice bonus—transatlantic business class awards can sometimes carry fuel surcharges that significantly increase the cash outlay.

One practical tip: if you don't have enough United miles on hand, remember that MileagePlus partners with Chase Ultimate Rewards, so you can transfer points to fill any gap. Transfers are instant, which helps when availability is limited.
