Beginning on Saturday, October 28, 2023, United Airlines will begin operating two daily flights from Newark (EWR) to New Delhi (DEL). And, at the time of publishing, United award availability is wide-open, including Polaris business class, with some dates showing up to 9 seats. Thanks to the MilesTalk Facebook group member for flagging this.

United Airlines Business Class Award Availability

  • Route: Newark (EWR) – New Delhi, India (DEL)
  • Dates: September 2023 – July 2024
  • Number of passengers: 2+ per flight (up to 9)
  • Award pricing: 80,000 – 88,000 United miles each way
  • Surcharges and Fees: $5.60 outbound / ~$34.59 round-trip

How to Book This United Polaris Award Availability

United Airlines is a member of Star Alliance and is typically bookable via other programs such as Air Canada Aeroplan or Avianca LifeMiles. However, we're currently only seeing these awards via United Airlines MileagePlus.

Adding your home airport as the origin or a final destination other than New Delhi (DEL) shouldn't raise the 80k – 88k rate — granted there's saver award availability on the other segments.
