The super-cheap rates are available for select flights starting in December. Flights from other cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are $129 — which is more, but still rather affordable for a one-way ride to Europe. Read more…

United gave its final 747 aircraft a 1970s sendoff

United flight 747 made history Tuesday morning. 

The flight from San Francisco to Honolulu was the final flight on the airline’s last Boeing 747 aircraft. It all came fill circle after the first commercial flight departed on the same route on June 23, 1970 — 47 years ago.

This wasn’t just any old takeoff — it was an homage to the ’70s with the flight crew decked out in original uniforms and even the ticket jackets throwing it back a few decades.
