The Big Picture
Air France and KLM have released a wave of Flying Blue Saver Awards for Summer 2026, offering business class redemptions at just 60,000 points to Europe. These flights are available from eight major U.S. departure cities—New York (JFK, EWR), Washington D.C. (IAD), Chicago (ORD), Houston (IAH), Denver (DEN), Los Angeles (LAX), and Portland (PDX).
Each route connects through Paris (CDG) or Amsterdam (AMS) with at least two business class seats available—and up to eight seats on some routes—making it ideal for couples or families.
Bookings can be made on the Air France or KLM website. Taxes and fees are $263 per seat, or $292 when flying into London City (LCY). This is an outstanding value for transatlantic travel during peak summer months, when cash fares are often at their highest. Availability is wide open across multiple dates, making this a perfect opportunity to lock in your European summer vacation early at saver-level pricing.
This deal is even better with the 20% transfer bonus from American Express to Air France/KLM Flying Blue through October 31, 2025! To calculate the required points with the transfer bonus, divide the redemption amount by 1.2. That brings the cost from 60,000 down to 50,000 points per ticket!
