Look, we know that nobody really wants to pay a couple of thousand dollars for a plane ticket. But what if the ticket was for an 11-hour flight, nonstop, in United Polaris, and it took you from the West Coast all the way to the Netherlands? That’s exactly what this fare sale does, with routes from $2,748 nonstop roundtrip in business class courtesy of United Airlines. Let’s take a look.

Fare Deal — Details

If you’ve never flown United Polaris before, you’re in for a treat. Featuring lie-flat pods, mattress pads, and ice cream sundaes, there’s a reason this is one of our favorite business class products.

  • Class: Business
  • Routes: Chicago (ORD), Las Vegas (LAS), Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), or San Diego (SAN) to Amsterdam (AMS)
  • Dates: February to December 2023
  • Rates: As low as $2,748 round-trip

The cheapest rates ring in at just $2,748 and take off from San Francisco (SFO):

And if you’re more Midwest-based, you’ll also find the same rates from Chicago (ORD):

This isn’t limited to nonstops, either (though they’re arguably better). San Diego (SAN) is getting in on the action with its own discounts:

It’s worth poking around your local airport, too, to see if United has options for you, as this fare sale looks to be across many major United routings.

Best Ways To Book

You’re going to find the cheapest rates for these flights when booking with an online travel agency (OTA). OTAs, such as Priceline, Expedia, and Kayak, act as the middleman between you and the airline. While this can be a great way to save money (and stack cash-back), be aware that it can be a much bigger hassle to deal with an OTA if you need to make any flight changes or cancellations.

Still, if this is the direction in which you decide to go, opt for a credit card that’ll maximize travel purchases, such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, which earns 3x Ultimate Rewards points on all travel purchases.

Final Thoughts

Sure, not everyone loves to pay cash for flights — especially in business class! — but there are some times when it makes sense, such as completing a mileage run or when there isn’t award availability. This is a great fare sale on nonstop routes for those looking to head to Amsterdam this year. We don’t expect these prices to last, so if you’re interested, act quickly!
