That’s right, we booked United Polaris Business Class for $5.60 + 77K United miles (one-way) from San Francisco to Papeete, French Polynesia (where you fly into on your way to Bora Bora). This flight would have cost a whopping $9K if we had paid $ to book it last minute like we did, but thanks to award travel we paid less than a Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks!
If you don’t have United miles, you can transfer points from the « Blue Bank » to United instantly at a 1:1 ratio. Comment « Blue Bank » for our recommendations for cards that earn points that you can transfer to United or any of its travel partners (including our favorites like Southwest, Hyatt, and Air Canada).
You can also earn United miles from the airline’s co-branded credit cards, which is a good option if you fly United often for perks like a free checked bag, United Club Lounge passes, and 25% back on inflight purchases.
