Fly Business Class To France For Just 1,500 Frequent Flyer Miles (This Is Real) – View from the Wing

Earlier today I wrote about getting transatlantic business class awards for an unheard of 13,500 miles each way.

It turns out there’s an even better deal out there. Business class for practically free: just 1,500 points to fly business class to France. This is bookable through Air France KLM’s Flying Blue, which is a transfer partner of all of the major bank currencies.

• Fly from Toronto, there are a few dates in January and February, or from Montreal in mid- to late-April or the first half of May.
• Book your trip to Lille, France
• That’s a non-stop flight to Paris, and then a train trip from Paris to Lille.
• That means if you book a one-way to Lille, you can just get off in Paris and throw away the train segment.

Normally you might have to hunt and peck for availability day by day but there’s a trick to see Flying Blue’s hidden award calendar showing a month of availability at a time.

Book quickly. Even if there were more than a handful of dates, I wouldn’t expect this to last, but some of you may jump on it and win the lottery.

There may be other destination cities with similar pricing. But you may wish to wait a few days before making additional plans, in case Flying Blue gets “seller’s remorse” about these redemptions.
