If you thought the New Year’s deals ended last week, think again. United Airlines is back this year with its Surprise Adventure Week — five days of deals revealed each morning.
On Tuesday, United is offering round-trip flights from the U.S. to Paris for 50,000 United MileagePlus miles. Back in the day, the saver award price to Europe on United was 60,000 miles round-trip.
Note that travelers have 24 hours to book the daily deal. Be sure to check back here as we update this page with the new deals.

This deal is for round-trip flights from the 48 continental U.S. states (meaning flights from Alaska and Hawaii are excluded) to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).

Sample Flights
To book this deal, head to this link. From there, enter your departing airport in the “From” box and CDG in the “To” field. Be sure to filter results to show those available by booking with miles, not cash. You can also use the low-fare calendar to search for specific dates.
For the route I searched from New York to Paris, there was a lot of discounted availability at the 25,000-mile price point one-way, but you may have to play around a bit with your dates to find the sale price. Deal flights will be marked as a saver award.
