United per diem and the international trip premium, real numbers
-
#1 What does per diem add on a normal month at United and how much more is an international trip?
-
#2 Per diem is paid per hour away from base, around 2 to 3 dollars an hour depending on domestic or international, so a month with a couple of international trips adds several hundred dollars. International trips also pay more block hours per day away. It adds up once you hold a line with internationals.
