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.

Mods, I think it's a disservice to merge this into the old thread--I wouldn't have seen this otherwise.
This should be out on its own--it's a great deal resurfacing. I could see merging it back after a little bit longer than an hour or two.

I didn't take no for an answer. I've been checking for the deal periodically throughout the day, but I'm not finding anything from CLE or PIT or CMA (or CAK for that matter). Been looking specifically for AMS, CDG, FCO. Will I have better luck looking elsewhere?

ex-HPN you will likely have to do open jaw
For July, I found lots of options using ITA and destination as
ROM, PAR, LON, MUC, FRA, ATH, STO, WAW, HEL, NCE, VCE
Maybe I am missing something, but I cannot find exJFK or EWR for $1500, but no problem with HPN if you leave open option for open jaw in Europe.
into CDG and out of VCE seemed to have most dates available but if you use the cities above you'll find all available.
AC seems to drop down to $1490ish on some dates. wow!

I'm sure you know this but for others, LH P class earns on UA at 100%, not 150% as on UA metal or others. I still haven't been on LH 380 or 744-800 for that reason but maybe I should just suck it up!

RNE, saluting the OP. ^
P.S. Still nothing available from hapless CLE. Jeff hates you!
