you\u2019ll have seemingly endless options for using United miles in the MileagePlus program.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to use your miles to book award flights and other redemption options available to you.<\/p>\n<h3>United MileagePlus Award Chart<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately United no longer publishes an award chart. <strong>MileagePlus switched to dynamic pricing<\/strong> for United and United Express awards which means there isn\u2019t a set amount of miles needed to book an award ticket.<\/p>\n<p>This means there is no minimum or maximum price for award prices on United-operated flights, but awards generally start at 5,000 miles and go up to 100,000+ miles.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1233409\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1233409\" style=\"width: 982px\" class=\"wp-caption
