We Scoped Out United’s Cheapest Flights for Fourth of July Weekend — Here’s What We Found

Fourth of July weekend is less than a month away, but there are still plenty of flight deals available to help travelers plan the ultimate summer vacation.

Using United Airlines’ Explore Destinations page, which is an interactive map where users can plug in their travel details to see available flights, we found some of the best flight deals over the Fourth of July holiday, with departures on July 3, with a return on July 7. 

The cheapest flights from the New York tri-state area are to Florida. United operates flights from its hub at Newark-Liberty International Airport, and has round-trip flights to Tampa for $285, West Palm Beach for $291, Miami for $312, and Orlando for $327. 

From United’s hub in Houston, TX, travelers can visit Dallas for $147, New Orleans for $205, or Phoenix for $249. 

From Los Angeles (LAX), travelers can fly round-trip to Las Vegas for under $200 and take an event who two happening over the holiday weekend including Dead & Company performing at the new MSG Sphere, Blink-182 at the T-Mobile Arena, a Rüfüs Du Sol set at Encore / Wynn Las Vegas, Lady Gaga at Park MGM, and more. 

Additional flight deals from LAX include San Francisco and Phoenix for $137, round-trip. 

All of the flight deals are available at prices while supplies last, and the discounted fares are in United’s basic economy class of service, which only includes a personal item such as a purse or backpack, and not a carry-on bag. The map feature also has a “travel interests” filter which allows travelers to select a type of trip including beaches, hiking, golf, national parks, or scuba. 

United has been on the move with new route announcements over the last few months, including flights to popular national park destinations of Bozeman, Kalispell, Mont., and Jackson Hole.
