Business Class Saver Awards to Europe for Under 50,000 Miles

We searched for the lowest-priced business class saver awards available on Flying Blue from the U.S. to Europe for travel between November 2025 and March 2026. Saver awards can be booked directly through Air France or KLM for as low as 45,000 miles from Washington D.C. (IAD). Additional award availability on Air France and KLM metal can be found for 48,500 miles when booked through Virgin Atlantic’s website, with departures from Detroit (DTW), Chicago (ORD), and New York (JFK).

All flights connect through Paris (CDG) unless noted otherwise. Taxes and fees are $274 per person when booked via Air France or KLM, or $290 when flying into London City (LCY). Bookings made through Virgin Atlantic’s site range from $297–$316 per person. All confirmed dates below have at least two business class seats available, and some routes show availability for up to nine seats—perfect for couples or small groups planning ahead.

This deal gets even better with the 20% transfer bonus from American Express to Air France/KLM Flying Blue, available through October 31, 2025. To calculate the reduced rate with the bonus, divide the redemption amount by 1.2. That brings the cost down from 45,000 to just 37,500 miles per ticket—an excellent value for lie-flat business class across the Atlantic.
