We found availability to Paris between March and September 2024 for as cheap as 48,500 points per person non-stop in business class. This is flying Air France and booking through Virgin Atlantic between YYZ, YUL, IAD, MIA and CDG. If Paris is not your final destination, it’s still a great location within Europe to self-connect to wherever you please.

Examples of routes (priced per person one way)

• YYZ, YUL, MIA, IAD = 48,500

If you have Chase points, there is a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic through Nov 15 bringing the price down to 37,400 per person one way!

While you can transfer directly from AMEX, Chase, Citi and Bilt directly to Virgin Atlantic, Capital One is actually only partners with Virgin Red (not Virgin Atlantic). This is no problem as you can link your Virgin Red account to your Virgin Atlantic account, and then you will be able to book your flights on Virgin Atlantic using your Capital One points as usual.

To search on Virgin Atlantic, click the “Advanced search” option, and select show price in “Points”. If it will not let you select the show price in points option, change the “one way” box to “multi-city” and then back to “one way”.  It can be finicky, but this should allow you to select show price in points. All of the dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers. Expect taxes to be around ~$300-400 per person each way.
