A good sale to London. Pricing will vary slightly depending on routing.

These fares are not searchable on ITA or Google Flights, so you need to play around on Lufthansa‘s site to find availability.

United and its partners Air Canada, Austrian, Lufthansa and Swiss Air introduced Basic Economy for travel across the Atlantic in June 2018. There are slightly variations but the one common theme across all these airlines is that with Basic Economy, you will pay $60 each way for ONE checked luggage, more for additional bags.

United’s version of Basic Economy for European travel includes:

• Advance seat assignment
• One normal size carry-on plus one personal item

In contrast, its partners like Air Canada, Austrian, Lufthansa, and Swiss:

• Charges for advance seat assignment
• One carry-on up to 18lbs

Here’s are some practical travel tips to London, England.
