If you’ve been wanting to take a trip to Europe (and who wouldn’t?) now is the time to book it. Air France just released wide-open availability for business class flights to Paris, London, Amsterdam, Rome, Barcelona and more. Plus, you can fly out of almost any major airport in the U.S. including LAX, JFK, SEA, SEN, IAD, BOS, MIA and ORD, to name a few.
Think comfy lie-flat seats, delicious meals (complete with french cheese, of course), and service that’ll make you feel like a VIP – all for a fraction of the usual $5,000+ price tag.
Don’t have any Air France miles? Me neither and it’s no problem. I’ll walk you through exactly how you can book this deal using points you probably already have.
The Details of the Business Class Deal:
Let me tell you, the availability for these business-class flights to Europe is wide open. As in, 50,000 point flights from and to most airports in North America and Europe from now through April 2025
- Airlines: Air France (Flying Blue program)
- Origin Airport: JFK,LAX, BOS, ORD, SEA, DEN, MIA (and more!)
- Destinations: Major European cities like Paris, Rome, Barcelona (and more!)
- Dates: Now through April 2025
- Points needed: 50,000 Flying Blue points (transferable from many popular cards which I’ll detail below)
- Typical price: $5,000+
- My take: This is an absolute steal for luxurious Air France business class.
How to Earn Air France Miles:
Flying Blue, Air France’s loyalty program, is a transfer partner of Chase Ultimate Rewards, American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One miles, and Citi ThankYou points.
So, if you hold cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (learn more), The Platinum Card® from American Express, or the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, you can easily transfer your points to Flying Blue and snag this amazing deal. If you don’t have these cards yet, it’s never too late to get started earning points on flexible cards like these that you can transfer to partners like Air France.
