This might be the deal of the year.

United Airlines is offering travelers first-class tickets from London to Newark, roundtrip, for 487 Danish krone. At 6.58 krone per dollar, that comes out to $74. Newark is just minutes outside of New York City. DansDeals found this first.



Here's how it works.



Go to United.com and change the country to Denmark. Then choose your dates. Make sure you choose business class or first class. In our example (and his) the dates selected were Nov. 10, 2015, to Nov. 17, 2015.

Dan notes out to make sure to use a card without a foreign-transaction fee and to not sign into your United account.

And you're all set. A decent credit card should allow you to make the purchase in the foreign currency.

Update:

We decided to give the unbelievable deal a try. We were able to go through the entire ticketing process, selecting flights and seats, entering passport information, and even going through the payment process. However, after clicking to complete the transaction, United Airlines redirected us back to itinerary page with new prices for the same flights.

In addition, it automatically changed our country back to the US.

Our colleagues at Business Insider UK were much more successful however. They were able to go all the way through with the transaction, though they are now waiting for a confirmation email. We'll update as soon as they receive the confirmation email.

Update:

BI UK is reporting the deal has been killed.

Update:

United has decided not to honor the fares.
