These deals are perfect for those who don’t mind planning a last-minute trip and offer significant savings on business class flights.
United Airlines is offering flights from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) or San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Australia or New Zealand for as little as 100,000 United miles each way.

These deals are available for scattered dates in December and into early 2024, with flights starting as early as December 13th. To book, you can visit united.com or aeroplan.com and log in to your MileagePlus or Aeroplan account. The discounted tickets are available for a limited time, so don’t wait too long to take advantage of these offers.
If you have a United cobranded credit card or MileagePlus elite status, you may have access to expanded award availability, providing even more options for your travel dates.
When booking through Air Canada’s Aeroplan program, you can find the best value for flights from San Francisco to Auckland. One-way business class seats on United or Air New Zealand can be booked for as low as 75,000 Aeroplan points. This makes Aeroplan one of the most valuable Star Alliance airline programs, even if you don’t typically fly with Air Canada.
There are also great deals available for flights to and from San Francisco. One-way business class flights on United can be booked for as little as 75,000 Aeroplan points. We even found some dates with deals from other gateways, such as a flight from Auckland to Houston for just 75,000 Aeroplan points one-way.
For those who prefer to book through United, there are also excellent deals available. Flights from Los Angeles to Sydney can be booked for as little as 100,000 United MileagePlus miles one-way. If you can travel during the last week of December and depart from San Francisco, there are round-trip flights to Auckland in business class for as low as 210,000 United miles. Similarly, flights from Los Angeles to Auckland are available for as little as 110,000 United miles each way. It’s worth noting that some of these flights may be operated by Air New Zealand, which has a business-class cabin that may not be preferred by everyone.
To maximize your purchase, consider using a credit card that earns bonus points on airfare purchases to cover any taxes and fees.
Overall, these deals offer a fantastic opportunity for travelers to visit Australia and New Zealand at a significantly reduced cost. However, it’s important to act quickly as these deals are unlikely to last long. With availability for scattered dates in December and early 2024, now is the perfect time to plan your last-minute trip Down Under. Don’t miss out on these incredible mileage sales!
