United has round-trip flights from Houston (IAH) to Sydney (SYD) for 75,000 miles/points, NONSTOP. 37.5k miles/points each way. Regular economy, not basic. Fare allows for carry-on bag and seat selection. Flights in February and March.

  • Booking flights with miles/points is worthwhile when the cost of airfare is high.

The best way to put together a round-trip itinerary with United points would be to look at both one-way calendars and then write down the available dates that have the lowest point redemptions, then plug those dates into a separate round-trip search to book. See links to calendar provided on our webpage. A laptop or a real computer will be easier to search with than a phone browser, this is because the United mobile calendar sucks, it removes fare details when the displaying the calendar.

If you use the United℠ Explorer Card, your first standard checked-bag for you and your companion is free, you get priority boarding, two United Club passes per year, and you get a 25% discount on inflight purchases on United-operated flights as a statement credit.

Here are some other offers that we think are worth mentioning. List updated 12/04/2025.

We now track coupon codes, discount codes, gift card discounts, and credit card offers that have a better value than their historical averages.

  • Tips: Use Tripadvisor to create a Hotel “short list”. First, plug in your dates and destination. Then select “Sort by Traveler Ranked”. Finally, select the “Traveler Ranking” filter to show “only 4* and up”. Use this resulting “short list” of hotels to find the cheapest one with a high ranking.
  • Tips: Hotel rates for Weekend dates are usually higher than the rates for Sunday through Thursday. Tripadvisor has a color-coded date calendar, red when the average hotel price for that day is more expensive, green for less expensive. You can use this to get an overview of what dates in the month are at a discount.
  • Tips: Different booking websites will often have differing routes, prices, and availability. Before you finalize your purchase, do a quick check on BookingBuddy, Skyscanner, and Kayak to see if any other site or airline is offering a better deal.
