Hurry! Europe Summer: Business Class for 50K points each way!

Book a Summer Business Class Flight Deal to Europe!

If you are dreaming of going to Europe this summer and have some points to spend, now is the time. Air France just released some business class seats on many popular routes to Barcelona, Paris, Germany, and more. Flexibility is a must to get the best deal!

To book this deal you will need points through American Express, Citi, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards. Pretty much any major credit card company transfers to Air France – KLM. Flying Blue is the loyalty program for Air France, KLM, Transavia, Aircalin, and TAROM.

Getting Ready to Search for Flights:

Your first step if you do not already have an Air France – Flying Blue Account is going to be to create an Air France Account here. Once you have created your account you will be ready to search for flights. Do not transfer any miles before you find the flight that you want. Air France does have a mobile app if you want to search that way too.

Once you have your account created you can begin searching for flights.

How to Search For Flights:

Head to Book a flight and then make sure to select book with miles. Enter your destination. I typically search for one-way flights as I have found that easier. However, do not enter a departure date, we want to be able to search multiple dates to see which dates have the 50,000 business class deal. Finally, change economy to Business and then hit Search Flights.

Once you do this, (on desktop), you should see a calendar that shows the lowest fare per day. If your calendar is not working, you can go back in put in a day, and then search each day for the cheapest fair.

How to Book:

If you already had a flight during this time I would book it and use my miles for another trip!

To book these flights, your first step is going to be to head to where you have your points and set up a transfer. Make sure you have your account number from your Air France- Flying Blue profile. You can find this by clicking on your name and then my profile/personal account. You should then be greeted with your dashboard and to the right you will see your flying blue number.

Next, when you are ready to transfer click on the Air-France Flying Blue, enter your account information. The most important step here is that you DO NOT do a test transfer and they do another transfer immediately as that can cause your points transfer to be delayed. Transfer the exact number of points you need to book.

If you have any issues, call your bank! I had issues my first time transferring to Air France – Flying Blue and it was quickly resolved by Chase after calling them.

Once you transfer your points, head back to your Air France- Flying Blue Account and refresh. Your points should now appear under your name at the top of your screen.

Finally, BOOK YOUR FLIGHT!

Does the deal only include the Summer travel to Europe?

No, there are dates into April 2025!
