A good sale to Ho Chi Minh City. United has this for $32 cheaper and is on the same plane, but just United flight numbers. So why would we want to make you spend an extra $32? Under the new mileage earning rules, if you fly United, you will earn 3,121 miles.

If you fly All Nippon Airways and credit to United, you will earn 14,952 miles — that’s enough for a domestic one-way award ticket. That is worth more than $32. Sometimes you have to spend money to save money.
