There are two categories of US cities involved, DL hubs and other, generally secondary, airports.
From some DL Hubs, UA P fares are valid to a much wider range of cities in Europe:
SLC/MSP/DTW/ATL/CVG/MEM-AMS/MXP/FCO/CDG/MLA/VCE/TRN/FLR/NAP/PMO/CTA/BUD/PRG/CPH/IST/WAW/ARN/OSL/KRK/PRG/TLL/RIX/etc
(but not JFK nor LAX?)

Other airports are valid to a smaller set of cities in Europe:
BOS/SJC/SMF/MOD/BWI/BUR/ONT/SNA/PSP/HNL/SEA/PDX/AUS/PIT/TUS/TPA/ALB/etc/etc-AMS/MXP/FCO/CDG/MLA/VCE/TRN/FLR/NAP/PMO/CTA/etc

Most UA hubs don't have the fare filed (not SFO for sure), but apparently EWR has at least EWR-VCE/NCE (but not EWR-MXP/PMO/FCO/CDG)

Some destinations in Europe have a slightly higher base fare:
MRS/LYS

(please add more cities to either origin or destination side that are valid)


Be careful in your airline selection - there are PQM/RDM implications to this. For example, for the UA program, UA P earns 150% PQM/RDM, LH P earns 100% PQM/RDM, and it appears that OS P earns nothing.
Similarly it looks like UA P class credited to Aegean (A3) earns nothing. Visit this United webpage then click on the Star Alliance partner to determine mileage earnings.

Quickest would probably be somewhere you wouldn't have to make an intra-EU conection -- like FCO or MXP.

I missed these last week and yesterday, but got lucky today. I managed to get LAX-JFK-FRA-JFK-LAX for Labor Day weekend in DL BE. ZRH, GVA and VIE were also available. Not sure about other city pairs as I was happy with my FRA find.

Looks like CDG is the least amount of stops at 2. FCP/MXP requires 3.
But time wise some are about equal. Hm...

This fare is still alive on AC.com and lufthansa.com. Just booked 3 seats PDX-AMs r/t, $1471 ai about 15 minutes ago. UA metal, but on Lufthansa code shares. There was an AC option.

HNL-EWR-AMS
AMS-FRA-LAX-HNL (16 hour stopover in Los Angeles)

Tried to get 767-400 through EWR both ways but even though ITA saw availability on the way back I couldn't replicate it on UA.

Works ex ABE as well for all us EWR folks. About a 90 minute drive and cheap parking...I'd say that's worth it!
