New research from United indicates that nearly three-quarters of Americans surveyed say booking a plane ticket to a new destination brings them happiness.

United MileagePlus members can receive 2x bonus miles on January 28 only when booking a trip from the U.S. to several international destinations. United is the only domestic airline providing service from the U.S. to these far-flung locales.
