United Excursionist Perk, which will end on 20th August 2025, was a great way to enhance the value you can get from redeeming United Miles. However, there are specific rules for using it and some great values, but this amazing benefit is ending on 20th August 2025.
Planning a United Excursionist Perk
By following the below rules you can take advantage of United Airlines Excursionist Perk:
- Travel must end in the same region where travel originates. For example, if a flight originates from India, then it should end in a country in the same region as India.
- The Excursionist Perk segment should be in a different region than where you started.
- The cabin of service of the free one-way award is the same or lower than the preceding one-way award. So, if you are travelling in business class, then free flights can either be in business class or economy class, not vice versa.
- Only the first occurrence will be free if two or more one-way awards qualify for this benefit. That means you will only get one free flight if two or more qualify.
