United MileagePlus: Business Class to London for 88,000 Miles (August 2026)

United is showing business class award space from Los Angeles to London Heathrow for 88,000 miles plus $30 in taxes, which is about 37% below what you'd typically pay for this route.

This award availability is for travel on August 9, 2026, departing Los Angeles (LAX) for London Heathrow (LHR) in business class. The 88,000-mile price point comes with just $30 in taxes and fees, making it a solid option for families looking to use miles for a premium cabin experience to Europe.

For context, United MileagePlus typically prices business class awards to London at around 140,000 miles. At 88,000 miles, you're saving roughly 52,000 miles per ticket. For a family of three traveling together, that adds up to more than 150,000 miles in savings compared to standard rates.

A practical note: only 3 seats are currently showing as available. If you're traveling as a family and need multiple seats, you'll want to move quickly. August is peak summer travel season, and award space at this price tends to disappear fast.

Before booking, confirm your MileagePlus account has enough miles and check that the specific flight times work for your schedule. If you need to transfer miles from a partner like Chase Ultimate Rewards, keep in mind that transfers to United are typically instant.
