PDF award chart removed from website
So, when they updated the mileageplusupdates.com website for the QY 2019 changes, it appears that they also removed the PDF chart for award mileage that had been hosted there. The interactive tool used to link to the award chart; that link has been removed. The *A Upgrade Award page still has a link, but if you click it, it just takes you to the main MileagePlus Updates page.
You can find the old chart in the Internet Archive here.
I've clicked through a couple of regions of the interactive chart, and I don't see any obvious changes from what was published before.
Note that *A upgrade prices are not listed in the interactive chart, so currently there's no place to find that mileage information on United's website.

It's been about 5 years since the last big update.
I fear they'll jack up biz class at some point when 'Polaris' is more widely available (remember the lie flat conversion was the rationale last time)
And they mentioned a month ago expect updates to come this fall on awards re: Premium Economy.
In other words, redeem now if you have something you like

I think the lack of a link on the interactive page has been effectively true for awhile, PDF award charts gone?
However the direct link did work until recently
For those that have not captured the Nov 2017 award chart pdf,

As long as they don't go the Delta/Skyteam way! Whenever I've searched on Delta for int'l biz I rarely find any cheap availability, with UA with a bit of flexibility there is often something on a *A partner, even if with not a great routing.

100% they are going that way with economy, but unclear if they are doing that with business and first. We shall see . . .

The link was actually there until this most recent change. I think what happened is that the old link disappeared and it resurfaced with the new target (on the mileageplusupdates site instead of united.com).

This hints of the AF/KL/DL variable award charts that concerts points to approx $0.01-$0.014 values. 100k saver round trip? Nope, welcome to 300k on a $3000 ticket. Or no joke, the 900000 skymiles award to/from Sydney I saw.
If Delta are Skypesos what will we call MPs? Maybe InchPlus since they won't go as far as miles?

Even if the levels remained the same for what we know - i.e. Y and J - it's clear UA prefers to treat PPlus as its own cabin suggesting a new level in the award charts. No idea how they'll play it but IIRC BA prices their W+ way between Y and J. Maybe UA will do the same.
