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.

Booked SEA - AMS in Business Lufthansa in August for $1223.99. My bank account hates me. And my girlfriend thinks I'm crazy.

She's a little bit more sane than I am. Doesn't want to spend the money.

Since you're in DC also, did you see anything out of IAD? No, right? I only found that BWI-AMS.

For that price on LH that's not called spending money. Take her to Venice for the weekend. Doa gondola ride and then a water taxi at night. LAS to VCE on LH metal $1500. lots of dates. She should ask you go again.

August 1- August 4

I farelocked BWI-EWR-AMS-ORD-BWI.

Then I found July 30 - August 4

BWI-EWR-MXP-EWR-IAH-BWI.

In addition to CDG, AMS, and MXP, it's available ex-BWI to NCE, MRS, VCE, BLQ, FCO, and other southern French/northern Italian cities with various combinations of UA, AC, LH, LX, and SN metal.
