Fly to Rome, Italy in United Polaris Business Class for 80K miles each way this summer. Fly nonstop to or from Chicago ORD, Denver DEN, Newark EWR, or Washington, DC IAD, with very limited August availability for San Francisco SFO.
At time of writing, the most award availability is for August 2025, with some scattered April-July dates depending on the city. Return flights from Rome FCO tend to have greater availability, particularly FCO-ORD, FCO-EWR and FCO-IAD.
United charges 80,000 MileagePlus miles; transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards points (earn points through the 60K Sapphire Reserve, 100K Sapphire Preferred, 90K Ink Business Preferred) to United are typically instant.
