Lowest observed MileagePlus awards by cabin

The lowest one-way MileagePlus award AwardTool observed on each route, in miles plus taxes.

Prices are one-way per traveler: the program's points or miles plus taxes and carrier fees in USD, as AwardTool observed them in the observation window. Award space changes constantly. A seat we saw may be gone, and space we haven't seen may exist. Always confirm with a live search before transferring points; most transfers can't be reversed.
