Sample flights<\/h2>\n

A nonstop business-class flight from New York City to Paris<\/a> can sometimes require as many as 260,000 miles (or more). However, thanks to this deal, award pricing is as low as 60,000 Flying Blue miles.<\/p>\n

For example, this flight between John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Bordeaux-Merignac Airport (BOD) with a stop at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) only costs 60,000 Flying Blue miles, plus $260 in taxes and fees, each way.<\/p>\n

There is widespread availability here, but I don’t expect it to last \u2014 so jump on it while you can. I had better luck with one-way searches than with round-trips, and with last-minute flights over far out searches, but it doesn’t hurt to keep hunting.<\/p>\n

Should you need to top off your Flying Blue miles, you can transfer points and miles from several other programs:<\/p>\n

Bottom line<\/h2>\n

Right now, there is some great discounted business-class availability from various U.S. cities to Amsterdam, Paris and beyond. If you have flexible travel dates and want to use points or miles for your booking, now is a great time to find discounted rates.<\/p>\n
