80,000-mile business-class award.<\/p>\n<p>Partner award rates on carriers like <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/airline\/turkish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Turkish Airlines<\/a>, <a

rel=\"noopener\">Ethiopian Airlines<\/a> are pricing at 44,000 miles in economy and 88,000 miles in business.<\/p>\n<p>We strongly recommend booking your Middle East award flights now while the &#8220;old&#8221; award rates persist.

Although the airline is currently running some <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/credit-cards\/united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elevated sign-up bonuses on its credit cards<\/a>, it&#8217;s unlikely the increased sign-up bonuses will offset this devaluation \u2014 especially if you want to book award flights to Japan.<\/p>\n<p>That said, seeing increased award rates is not a surprise. After all, in an age of inflation and dynamic pricing, we&#8217;ve expected airlines to increase some award rates. However, many of United&#8217;s new saver award rates are more than inflation \u2014 they&#8217;re a devaluation of the program.<\/p>\n<p>Now is the time to quickly redeem your miles for tickets to the Middle East while award rates remain unchanged for that region. This is, unfortunately, a good reminder that while saving up miles for a big trip is one thing, sitting on them indefinitely usually only leads to disappointment in an era where award charts are increasingly uncommon, and loyalty programs can \u2014 and do \u2014 make major unannounced changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/united-worldwide-devaluations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s more bad news for United MileagePlus members.
