United Airlines
The last post tackled the basic rules that allow us to create our dream trip using United miles. To sum it up; when using United miles to redeem a flight, you are allowed one stopover and two open-jaws on a roundtrip ticket. This allows us to book some sweet tickets that allow anyone to see multiple places on one trip, one booking and few miles! Booking can be as simple as calling or using the multiple destinations tool but can be as difficult...

A stopover is a layover that lasts as long as you want and an open-jaw means that you return from a different airport than you arrived at as your destination. For example; if you want to fly to Hawaii, you could book a flight into Honolulu and you could take a boat ride to Kahului and fly home from there.
