Air France Award Availability to Europe
There is A LOT of Air France award availability to Europe in business class for January and February 2024 for very cheap. These awards are available out of New York (JFK) and Newark (EWR) on Air France's non-stop routes to Paris (CDG). You can include a connection onwards to other European destinations for a small difference in price, so this deal can get you to just about anywhere across the pond. Let's take a look at the details!
Business Class Availability to Europe Details
Air France operates a whopping 6 non-stop flights to JFK daily, and one daily flight to EWR, offering plenty of options for travelers. Air France has been flying its new business class cabin on a few of the routes to JFK, so if you can snag one of those seats, you're in for a treat! But even the old business class seat is pretty comfortable. No matter which product you book, you'll get to enjoy some great wine selections and lie flat seats.
Air France is showing at least 2 seats at 41,250 miles per person each way. (Some flights show as many as 6 seats available.) This is lower than the usual deals at around 55,000 miles or so you can get with Flying Blue from the East Coast. In fact, I have never seen Air France award availability to Europe in business class at a lower rate than this outside a Flying Blue promo reward.
A few dates also show availability at 55,000 miles per person, which is the standard low rate for Flying Blue. So if you can't find availability at 41,250 miles for your dates, you can still score some seats at 55,000 miles.
This price does not factor Amex's current 20% transfer bonus to Flying Blue, which brings these flights down to a mere 35,000 Amex MRs per person! You can check out which points currencies transfer to Flying Blue through our ToP transfer partner tool. (Hint: it's all of them!).
If you want to continue onto elsewhere in Europe, simply search for that airport as your final destination on Flying Blue's website. There is no shortage of Air France award availability to Europe.
