Business Class to Europe Early 2026

We found incredible business class award deals to and from Europe for early 2026. These flights are on Air France or KLM metal, with some return options stopping in London Heathrow and switching to Virgin Atlantic. All bookings are made through the Virgin Atlantic website, and confirmed dates currently show at least two business class seats available.

Departures route you into Europe via Paris (CDG) or Amsterdam (AMS). If either is not your final destination, you can search other major European airports to see if you can connect without requiring additional miles. For example, we searched departure options into major airports in Italy that connect through CDG or AMS and they are priced the same with no extra points required. Outbound flights are available for 48,500 points plus $300–$330 in taxes and fees per person.

Return flights from Amsterdam can be found for as low as 37,000 points per person, plus $420–$480 in taxes and fees. Return options may connect through London Heathrow and switch from Flying Blue to Virgin Atlantic metal.

This deal is even better with the 30% transfer bonus from Capital One to Virgin Atlantic through October 1, 2025. To calculate the required points with the bonus, divide the redemption amount by 1.3. That brings the cost down from 48,500 to just 37,400 Capital One miles, and from 37,000 to only 28,500 miles. That’s an outstanding value for lie-flat business class to and from Europe!
