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.

Seeing DTW-FCO on United business on selected July days for $1521 all in. Depending on routing, initial domestic segment maybe in coach.
Also LAS-FCO on some July days is about $1950.

Crazy. ALT-FCO is down to $1498 with departs on Thurs, Fri, Sat in July on *A
Great timing, since I booked the YYZ-BOM last night, and is probably insanity as a weekend trip.

Worth noting that this works for UA/LX/LH. LX still awards 150% RDM/EQM when credited to UA if you want to try something a bit nicer.

Now ~$1500 for pretty much all the fares. Booking a SMF fare for myself ... optimistic that a one of the United Express segments will have a schedule change and I'll be able to change it to SFO.
