Guide to Flying to Europe On Points

Europe is the first place I ever redeemed my credit cards points! And flying to Europe is one of the most common goals I hear (neck and neck with Hawaii). There are so many options for airlines, points, and alliances — and taxes and fees vary greatly. Use this guide to help you figure out which strategy works best for you.

Step One: Know Your Routes

It’s important to take into consideration the flight routes from your home airport, as influences which strategy and sweet spots make the most sense for you to focus in on. We almost always prioritize non-stop flights and that influences how we plan our trips and destinations.

This is also important because once get to Europe, flights are so cheap to hop around Europe on budget airlines like RyanAir or EasyJet. Like as cheap as $20. Because of this, I recommend focusing your strategy on how to get to Europe from your home airport. Enjoy a day or two wherever you land (bonus mini vacation!) and then continue on to your final destination.

Check non-stop routes from your home airport

Your first step is to head to FlightConnections.com and enter your home airport in the “From” box. It will then populate all the non-stop routes you can take from your home airport. You can click on different cities to find out which airlines fly that route and how frequently they fly it.

You’ll notice a lot of the routes are seasonal. From Chicago, for instance, there are only nonstop flights to Rome from about April-October.

If you have a specific destination in mind and your airport has a nonstop flight to that destination — that’s a great way to focus in on your strategy and begin to work out the cheapest way to book that route with points.

Smaller airport strategy: Reposition

What if your home airport doesn’t have any non-stop flights to Europe? Or what if your home airport doesn’t have a non-stop to where you want to go in Europe but other cities do? If I can’t get somewhere non-stop, I try to do it with just one connecting flight. Sometimes you can find a better routing for yourself by booking those two flights separately from each other.

Repositioning is a strategy of flying yourself to a different U.S. city than your hometown in order to take a flight from that city over to Europe. Repositioning is different than booking a flight connection because you are likely booking on two different airlines and your ticket reservations are often separate.

In the miles and points world, a lot of people use Southwest Airlines (With a companion pass) to reposition.

Make sure you’re adding up your total cost if you choose to reposition! I also highly suggest booking yourself an overnight layover to account for delays. Of course you could book that overnight layover in a hotel you pay for with points. But keep in mind the overall cost to yourself.

There are some risks with repositioning: if your first flight gets cancelled or delayed, you may miss your connection to Europe and if they were on different airlines — the airlines don’t always work together to get you to your final destination.

You can “reverse engineer” the best cities to reposition to if you plug your final destination into FlightConnections.com and see which airports and airlines fly there.

Step Two: Know Your Transfer and Alliance Partners

Alliance and transfer partners are an all-important aspect of getting more options and better deals on your flights!

I cover both of these in depth in my free course. I also have a free guide which you can download to begin to understand. The most important overall concepts you need to understand are:

• • Airlines operate in partnerships with other airlines. These partnerships allow you to use your miles from one airline to book on another — but only when airlines open seats to their partners.

• • Flexible points credit cards (like Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card) allow you to transfer your points and miles to a variety of airlines

• • Sweet spots are those intersections of transfer partners and alliance partners that offer great value

Step Three: Know How To Earn Points

Each airline option I list in this article has more than one credit card that can earn you a welcome bonus and the points you need to fly to Europe. This article is already long enough without listing out every single card you could get for each of these programs to earn points!

So how can you figure out how to earn the right points? First step: get my free airline transfer partner guide (link above!) — inside I have a chart that shows which kinds of points transfer to which airlines. Then work backwards! Let’s see you figure out that you want to earn points with Flying Blue. You can look at the chart in my guide and see that American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, Capital One Miles, and Citi ThankYou® Rewards all transfer 1:1 to Flying Blue. Then you could browse my Best Offers page, where I list all my favorite current offers–to see which cards currently have good bonuses and earn those kinds of points.

Pro Tip: Transfer Bonuses

Most points transfer 1:1 when you transfer from a program like Chase Ultimate Rewards® to an airline or hotel. But! Banks run promos throughout the year and certain transfer may offer a bonus. I don’t currently maintain an updated list of transfer bonuses but you can find one here.

Step Four: Finding Availability

A decade ago, almost all airlines priced their award flights according to an award chart. That meant you could go to a chart and see that it would cost 60,000 miles to fly from the U.S. to Europe, for instance. When airlines price using award charts, they generally offer a limited number of “award seats” per flight. So just because a flight exists didn’t mean it was available to book with airline miles.

More and more airlines are switching to “dynamic pricing.” This generally means that they allow almost all of their flights to be booked with their airline miles. It also means they change those prices up and down according to supply and demand. The price of a ticket in airline miles can vary from day to day, just like the prices do when you pay with cash.

Most of the best deals still come with airlines that use some sort of award chart — but this in turn will lead to more searching for available award seats.

Generally speaking, the earlier you book, the better chance you have to find an award seat but this isn’t always true.

In addition, it is important to underline that airlines only release some of their seats to their partners. With United and American, they tend to release any “saver” level seats to their partners. Delta, on the other hand, has no official “saver” awards and the ones they release to partners do not match their cheapest flights.

Tools for Award Flight Searches

When possible, I tried to note by each sweet spot if there was an easy way to search for it. If you already have a lot of points, specific dates, and destinations — you can use a tool like Point.Me or AwardLogic.Com to search flights from your home airport to your desired destination and filter by the kinds of points you have.

I personally to prefer using searches that show me 30 days of availability at a time because I’m generally somewhat flexible on my dates and destinations.

SeatSpy is a very user friendly tool for searching 365 days at a time — and it’s free for economy searches! This is especially great for FlyingBlue promo deals and United and American routes.

United.com is a great way to find 30 day Star Alliance availability. AA.com has 30 day functionality for oneworld availability. Delta has a 7 day flexible calendar for its own flights. For searching for Delta flights that are bookable by partners Virgin Atlantic or Flying Blue, you can use this trick.

Airlines I avoid

As a general rule, I strive to keep my taxes and fees as low as possible for my award flights. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic both tack on fuel surcharges when you book with points that can be in the hundreds of dollars — so I avoid flying on them!

A round trip from Orlando to London on Virgin Atlantic will cost 31,400 points + $429 in taxes and fees. This may still be worthwhile in some situations–particularly in a peak season or for last minute travel.

 

Sweet Spots, By European Destination

There are different ways to think about strategy and sweet spots–by destination or by airline. This section focuses on destinations in Europe that have certain airline deals going to them.

Many Destinations: Avianca LifeMiles

Best for: Particular sweet spot destinations that price below standard pricing. Many routes to London, Dublin, Copenhagen, Munich, and more. 

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou® Points

Avianca LifeMiles typically charges 60,000 miles (round trip) in economy from the US to Europe. This makes it one of the lowest for standard pricing — particularly because it doesn’t pass on fuel surcharges like ANA does (see below).

But even better — some destination pairs — for no really apparent reason — price below 30,000 miles each way. From JFK to Geneva on Swiss Air, for instance, it costs just 16,500 miles!

These are often only discounted on the route from the US to Europe — though some of them are also discounted on the return. 

There are over 60 routes with these secret discounts, read about all of them here.

Swiss Air Flight Example (booked with Avianca LifeMiles): JFK-GVA (one way)

Ireland

Best for: Nonstop flights to Ireland

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards® or Chase Ultimate Rewards®. Or transfer from Capital One Miles or Citi Thank You points to another Avios partner and from there to use on Aer Lingus.

The best deal for AerLingus flights is to fly on a nonstop flight to Ireland. Off-peak dates cover 2/3 of the year. Flights are priced per segment and by distance. Due to their distance bands for calculating cost, non-stop flights from the midwest or farther east are the cheapest at 13,000 points each way in economy.

Round trip, this example shows from Chicago to Dublin, you’ll pay 26,000 Avios + $285 in taxes and fees.

Round Trip Flight Example: ORD-DUB

Because Aer Lingus shares a points currency (called Avios) with British Airways, Iberia, and Qatar — if you have Avios with any of these airlines, this route is bookable with those points.

Non-stop flights on Aer Lingus booked with Avios cost: (prices shown off-peak/peak)

 

• • 13K / 20K for flights 3,000-4,000 miles flown (includes BOS, BDL, JFK, EWR, PHL, CLE, YYZ, IAD, ORD, MSP)

• • 16,250 / 25K for flights 4,001 to 5,500 miles flown (includes (MCO, MIA, SEA, SFO, LAX)

How to search: I’m not aware of any free tool to see multiple dates of availability for this route. You can search (if you log in) on BA.com or Avios.com. You’ll want to book on Avios.com for lower fees.

Spain

Best for: Nonstop flights to Madrid and Barcelona

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards® or Chase Ultimate Rewards®. Or transfer from Capital One Miles or Citi ThankYou® Points to another Avios partner and from there to use on Aer Lingus.

Iberia, like Aer Lingus, uses the Avios currency for its awards. That means if you have any card that transfers to any Avios partner (British Airways, Iberia, Qatar, or AerLingus), you can book this sweet spot.

Iberia uses a distance-based award chart with peak and off-peak pricing. The key to finding this sweet spot is to plan around off peak dates.

Flights from Boston, New York, and Chicago price out at 17,000 Avios each way in economy (or 34,000 each way in business).

Flights from Miami, Dallas, and the LAX to Madrid route will price at 21,250 Avios each way.

Round Trip in our example from New York costs 34,000 Avios + $209 in taxes and fees.

How to Search: Iberia.com has a 30 day availability calendar you can access when you log in and search for award flights.

Iberia Outbound Flight Example: JFK-MAD

 

 

Iberia Return Flight Example: JFK-NYC

 

Paris

Best for: Nonstop flights to Paris

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, Capital One Miles, or Citi ThankYou® Points

Flying Blue is the name of the loyalty program that AirFrance and KLM (based in the Netherlands) share. While FlyingBlue doesn’t have an award chart, it does have monthly promos that offer some very cheap tickets to Europe! It’s common to see tickets in economy pricing at 12,000-15,000 points each way in economy.

Sample Round Trip Fare from Boston to Paris shows 25,500 miles + $206.

Air France Round Trip Example: BOS-CDG

How to search: One of the easiest ways to find availability with FlyingBlue is to use SeatSpy.

Amsterdam

Best for: Nonstop flights to Amsterdam

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, Capital One Miles or Citi ThankYou® Points

Flying Blue is the name of the loyalty program that AirFrance and KLM (based in the Netherlands) share. While FlyingBlue doesn’t have an award chart, it does have monthly promos that offer some cheap tickets to Europe! It’s common to see tickets in economy pricing at 13,000-15,000 points each way in economy. Even better, kids get a 25% discount on award pricing!

Sample Round Trip from Boston to Amsterdam showed 22,500 miles + $255.

One of the easiest ways to find availability with FlyingBlue is to use SeatSpy.

Athens

Best for: If you can’t get to Athens from your home airport in one stop, you live near NYC, or want to fly Emirates

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, Capital One Miles or Citi ThankYou® Points

Emirates offers a “fifth-freedom” route from New York (Newark EWR) to Athens. Fifth freedom routes are airline routes that don’t touch an airline’s hubs. Saver awards for economy tickets cost 45,000 miles + $149.

Sample Round Trip Fare from Newark to Athens: 45,000 miles + $149

How to find availability: Use the Emirates website to search for and book flights. Emirates opens seats for booking with award 328 days before departure. Book earlier for a greater chance to find availability.

Milan

Best for: If you can’t get to Milan from your home airport in one stop, you live near NYC, or want to fly Emirates

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, Capital One Miles or Citi ThankYou® Points

Emirates offers a “fifth-freedom” route from New York (JFK) to Athens. Fifth freedom routes are airline routes that don’t touch an airline’s hubs. Saver awards for economy tickets cost 45,000 miles + $143.

Sample Round Trip Fare from Newark to Athens: 77,500 miles + $143 (I could not find a saver fare for 45k round trip in my search)

How to find availability: Use the Emirates website to search for and book flights. Emirates opens seats for booking with award 328 days before departure. Book earlier for a greater chance to find availability.

Houston to Manchester, England

Best for: Departures from Houston — you could connect to other cities in Europe from Manchester

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, Capital One Miles or Citi ThankYou® Points

Singapore offers a “fifth-freedom” route from Houston to Manchester, England. Fifth freedom routes are airline routes that don’t touch an airline’s hubs.

Sample Round Trip Fare from Houston to Manchester: 50,000 miles + $161

How to find availability: Use the Singapore website to search for and book flights.

 

Sweet Spots, By Airline Alliance

Star Alliance

Avianca LifeMiles

Best for: Round trip on any Star Alliance carrier. Also for particular sweet spot destinations that price below standard pricing.

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou® Points

Avianca LifeMiles typically charges 60,000 miles (round trip) in economy from the US to Europe. This makes it one of the lowest for standard pricing — particularly because it doesn’t pass on fuel surcharges like ANA does (see below).

But even better — some destination pairs — for no really apparent reason — price below 30,000 miles each way. From JFK to Geneva on Swiss Air, for instance, it costs just 16,500 miles!

These are often only discounted on the route from the US to Europe — though some of them are also discounted on the return. 

There are over 60 routes with these secret discounts, read about all of them here.

Swiss Air Flight Example (booked with Avianca LifeMiles): JFK-GVA (one way)

ANA Mileage Club

Best for: Round trip (or open jaw) flights with United or TAP Portugal

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®

ANA Mileage Club will charge 55,000 miles (round trip) in economy from the US to Europe and 88,000 (round trip) in business class. You will need to make sure you are flying on a Star Alliance partner with low (or no) fuel surcharges as ANA will pass along any surcharges to you (which can be more than $500 on some Lufthansa or Swiss Air tickets!)

This is best for booking on United flights or TAP Portugal. United flights will only be available to book with ANA miles if they are “Saver” awards. You can search directly on United.com and use the 30 day calendar to find flights.

ANA Mileage club only allows round trip awards — though you can also book an open jaw. We used ANA Mileage Club, for instance, to book ORD-LHR and then ZRH-ORD on the same ticket.

Note: You can only book tickets with your ANA miles for people “within two degrees” of family relationship.

 

How to Search: It’s easiest to search on United.com for Star Alliance availability to see 30 day availability. I typically search a route and then filter by “non-stop flights.” Look for United awards marked “Saver” — those should be released to ANA. Any other Star Alliance flights (like TAP Portugal) that show on United.com should also show on ANA. You’ll then want to create a free ANA account to confirm you can see those same flights there once you are logged in.

United Flight Example (booked with ANA): IAD-AMS

This flight would cost 55,000 miles + $92

TAP Portugal Flight Example (booked with ANA): EWR to Porto

This flight would cost 55,000 miles + $54 in taxes and fees.

Lufthansa Flight Example (booked with ANA): STL-FRA

Avoid booking Lufthansa with ANA miles! This flight would cost 55,000 + $583.

AirCanada Aeroplan

Best for: Star Alliance flights, especially if you don’t have United miles and/or can utilize a transfer bonus

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, or Capital One Miles

Aeroplan does not pass along fuel surcharges which gives it an advantage if you want to book a Star Alliance airline like Lufthansa or SwissAir which does have large fuel surcharges. Aeroplan does add a $39 partner booking fee to any award flight booked with a partner and fees for some routes (like the United flight from IAD-AMS) were $100 higher than other Star Alliance partners like ANA or United. Aeroplan also allows you to add stopovers for just 5,000 miles which can be helpful if you want to visit a few cities.

How to Search: It’s easiest to search on United.com for Star Alliance availability to see 30 day availability. I typically search a route and then filter by “non-stop flights.” Look for United awards marked “Saver” — those should be released to Air Canada. Any other Star Alliance flights (like TAP Portugal) that show on United.com should also show on AirCanada.

United Flight Example (booked via Aeroplan): IAD-AMS

This flight would cost 70,000 miles + $194 (USD, using today’s exchange rates)

Lufthansa Flight Example (booked via Aeroplan)

This flight would cost 80,000 miles + $245 (USD at today’s rates)

Singapore Airlines

 

Best for: Star Alliance flights with no fuel surcharges like United and TAP Portugal, Singapore Fifth Freedom routes (Houston to Manchester, NYC to Frankfurt)

 

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, Capital One miles, Citi ThankYou® points

 

I prefer this option to Air Canada Aeroplan because the taxes and fees are lower. But Singapore does pass along fuel surcharges so you’ll want to avoid Lufthansa and Swiss Air. Singapore is a transfer partner for all the major bank “currencies” so points are easy to come by.

Round trip flights on partners cost 61,000 miles. If you fly on a Singapore fifth freedom flight (Houston to Manchester, NYC to Frankfurt) it will cost just 50,000 miles round trip.

United Flight Example (booked on Singapore): IAD-AMS

This flight would cost 61,000 miles + $91 — only slightly more than booking via ANA but with 3 more transfer partners.

 

 

How to Search: It’s easiest to search on United.com for Star Alliance availability to see 30 day availability. If you have a certain route you are searching, you can find the cheapest date in a 365 range at SeatSpy. Singapore’s website will default to searching their own flights, make sure to toggle “Star Alliance” if you want to see partner flights.

 

United Flight Example (booked on United): IAD-AMS

 

United pricing is dynamic and In this case, this Saver award from Washington DC to Amsterdam priced at 40,000 miles.

 

Total round trip between IAD-AMS: 80,000 miles + $92 (exact same taxes as booking via ANA)

United

Best for: Star Alliance flights and booking multi-leg itineraries with the Excursionist Perk

Transfer points from: Chase Ultimate Rewards®

United switched to dynamic pricing and also made an unannounced devaluation to their miles. You can find one way award tickets to and from Europe for anywhere from 28,000-60,000 each way.

United miles do have some perks to booking with them, though. First – the United website is very user friendly with easy ways to search and sort awards. United doesn’t pas along fuel surcharges or tack on extra fees. In addition – United has a nice perk called the Excursionist Perk which can be valuable if you’re hopping cities! Essentially if you fly to Europe, you could add one more leg for free. So you could fly Chicago to London, London to Rome (on a partner), and Rome back to Chicago for the same price as a round trip.

How to Search: It’s easiest to search on United.com for Star Alliance availability to see 30 day availability. If you have a certain route you are searching, you can find the cheapest date in a 365 range at SeatSpy.

United Flight Example (booked on United): IAD-AMS

United pricing is dynamic and In this case, this Saver award from Washington DC to Amsterdam priced at 40,000 miles.

Total round trip between IAD-AMS: 80,000 miles + $92 (exact same taxes as booking via ANA)

Lufthansa Flight (booked via United): Lowest taxes and fees

87,800 miles + $140

oneworld

The sweet spots with the oneworld alliance tend to be for using airline miles to actually book on that airline rather than a partner. You can use Avios or American Airlines miles.

Avios (AerLingus & Iberia)

I covered both Aer Lingus (to Ireland) and Iberia (to Spain) up above! Scroll up to those destinations for more information.

American Airlines

Best for: Flights on American Airlines

Transfer points from: No transfer partners except Bilt which is hard to earn points with – but since both Citi and Barclay issue AA cards, it is fairly easy to rack up points with credit card bonuses

American Airlines has followed United and Delta in switching to dynamic pricing. This has meant that some of the flights to and from Europe have increased in price. I still see plenty of flights priced according to their old award chart. In the old award chart, for about half of the year – November through mid-March, it was 45,000 AA miles round trip to Europe! Standard pricing was 60,000 miles round trip.

Watch out for British Airways flights — they will usually add on large fuel surcharges. You can see here that the AA flight is 7,000 points more, but $226 lower taxes.

How to Search: It’s easiest to search on AA.com for to see 30 day availability. If you have a certain route you are searching, you can find the cheapest date in a 365 day range at SeatSpy. SeatSpy also seems to pull the partner flights on British Airways, so watch out for taxes!

American Flight: DFW-FCO

This flight total is 72,000 + $68

SkyTeam

SkyTeam partners in Europe include Delta, Flying Blue (AirFrance and KLM), and Virgin Atlantic.

Delta

Best for: Flash sales on Delta and flexible dates

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards® (you will pay an excise fee on transferring these from Amex to Delta, for 50,000 points it costs $30)

Delta pricing is the most volatile of all the U.S. airlines. You can see the same dates for flights to Paris from both Chicago and Detroit fluctuate from 52,000 to 124,000 round trip. There can be some great deals on Delta — sometimes Flash Sales will have round trip tickets to Europe as low as 32,000 miles round trip! But they aren’t predictable. If you want to book on Delta, you may find more consistent pricing by booking via one of their partners.

Delta also typically gives a hefty discount when you book round trip versus one ways on their own flights.

 

I’ll use an extreme example in this section to illustrate that Delta’s pricing is not linked with which seats they let partner airlines book into– which means you can sometimes get a great deal–but just not with Delta Skymiles directly.

Delta Flight: DTW to CDG

For these dates, the price comes out to a whopping 235,000 Delta Skymiles + $89. Note that I looked for partner availability first and then went back to Delta to see how they were pricing this route.

Flying Blue (Air France & KLM)

Best for: Nonstop flights to Paris and Amsterdam when you can use a Promo Award. Or – use a free stopover in Paris or Amsterdam and continue on to your final destination. Also good for Delta flights.

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, Capital One Miles or Citi ThankYou® Points

In the Destination section above, I detailed more about how to use Flying Blue to fly to Paris and Amsterdam. Scroll up for more details or check out this longer article here.

Flying Blue can also be used to book on Delta flights. Personally, I’d use the Virgin Reward Seat checker [you need to edit the search bar for your exact route] to find availability. Then go back and plug that info into Air France to see if you can find matching availability.

Delta Flight (booked via Air France): DTW to CDG

This is the exact same flight as above but instead of costing over 200,000 miles, it is 59,000 miles + $89. I left the AirFrance flight on the screenshot as well to show you could have chosen an Air France return flight and paid fewer miles but $57 more in taxes and fees.

 

Virgin Atlantic (to fly Delta)

Best for: Round trip Delta flights to Europe — or one way flights to Europe on Delta.

Transfer points from: American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, or Citi ThankYou® Points. Capital One miles can be transferred to Virgin Red and from there to Virgin Atlantic.

Virgin Atlantic pricing on taxes and fees can be wildly different than on Delta or Air France. This varies also whether you book round trip or one way.

Delta Flight (booked on Virgin Atlantic): DTW-CDG

Round trip flight comes to 60,000 points + $90 for this route when booked as a round trip. So this is essentially the same as Flying Blue.

But oddly, when it is broken down into two one-way tickets, the taxes on the flight from CDG to DTW go way up!

Emirates

Emirates offers two different “fifth-freedom” routes. While the airline is based in Dubai, they have two routes between the U.S. and Europe. Usually points and miles articles focus on these routes for the luxurious business class experience — but in economy it is a great option, too.

The two routes are New York (EWR) to Athens (ATH) and New York (JFK) to Milan (MXP).

Round trip economy tickets cost 45,000 points + $150ish if you can find saver pricing.

One big advantage to Emirates is that all of the flexible points currencies (American Express Membership Rewards®, Chase Ultimate Rewards®, Capital One miles, and Citi ThankYou® Points) all transfer to Emirates — so these points are easy to accrue.

Scroll up to the destination sections on Athens and Milan for more details on each of those routes.

If you’re repositioning to New York for a trip — I recommend booking yourself an overnight layover at an airport hotel to allow for delays.

Table of Comparing Round Trip Price by Airlines (Points + Taxes/Fees)

As you can see, each airline varies on the miles required for a round trip ticket a well as taxes and fees!

Airline (Miles Type)	Route	Miles (round trip)	Taxes & Fees
AerLingus (Avios)	ORD-DUB	26,000	$285
Air Canada (Aeroplan)	IAD-AMS (on United)	70,000	$194
AirFrance (Flying Blue)	BOS-CDG	25,500	$206
AirFrance (Flying Blue)	DTW-CDG (on Delta)	59,000	$89
American Airlines (AAdvantage)	DFW-FCO	45,000-72,000	$68
ANA (Mileage Club)	IAD-AMS (on United)	55,000	$92
Delta (Skymiles)	DTW-CDG	55,000-235,000	$89
Emirates (Skywards)	EWR-ATH	45,000	$149
Iberia (Avios)	JFK-MAD	34,000	$209
KLM (Flying Blue)	BOS-AMS	22,500	$255
Singapore (KrisFlyer)	IAD-AMS (on United)	61,000	$91
Singapore (KrisFlyer)	IAH-MAN	50,000	$161
United	IAD-AMS	60,000-90,000	$92
Virgin Atlantic	DTW-CDG (on Delta)	60,000	$89
