WHY TAKE THE TRAIN AROUND EUROPE WHEN YOU CAN TAKE A JET?

Good news for travelers from around the world (European residents are not eligible) who want to visit multiple cities in Europe, and don't want to take the train around. You can now use a new air pass offered by United Airlines and the Star Alliance (a consortium of 15 European and international carriers).  The deal is you have  to fly United to and from Europe, choose your destinations and pay in advance (but you do not have to select your travel dates beforehand).  As an example, a passenger arriving in Paris could fly on to Copenhagen, then to Frankfurt, and return to Paris for $225. Most major European cities are reachable with the pass, and the coupons are good for three months. The Pass is a package of 3 to 10 coupons. The fare for each coupon depends on distance traveled and ranges from $60 (for  one-way flights up to 150 miles) to $220 (flights of 2,251 to 2,500 miles). You Do accrue Miles on United!
