The Big Picture
We found direct flights to Europe on Singapore Airlines for as low as 60k per person through Air Canada. Singapore Airlines has two “fifth freedom” routes (IAH-MAN and JFK-FRA) and we found saver award availability on both between July and November.
Not only does Singapore Airlines have one of the nicest business class products on the market, but Chase also has a 20% transfer bonus to Air Canada. So if you book by July 31, you can book for as low as 50k per person in business.
If you don’t have Chase points to take advantage of this bonus, you can still take advantage of these low fares through Air Canada using other transferable points like AMEX, Capital One, Citi, Brex, or Barclays.
Examples of fares (priced per person one way without the transfer bonus)
- JFK to FRA = 60,000 + $57
- FRA to JFK= 60,000 + $185
- IAH to MAN= 70,000 + $57
If the airports listed are not your final destinations, you may be able to very cheap fares to other locations in Europe as FRA and MAN are great repositioning locations. You may also be able to add another flight through Air Canada’s stopover program for an additional 5k per person.
All of the dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers in business.
