There have been reports that UA has raised the number of miles required for many European destinations. I did a quick search, and I’m only seeing 70K for awards that include a UA segment; pure partner awards are all 43.9K. I have seen some variation between partner flights in other markets, but it’s less than 10%.

I do believe UA will use a greater range in pricing between partner awards as soon as they can figure out how.
