Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your Air France award flights to Europe from the U.S. in late January to early February for the best availability, particularly on routes from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG).

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York City (JFK) to Paris (CDG) for just 30,000 Flying Blue miles in economy class, which typically costs around $600 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) via Amsterdam (AMS) to save 10,000 miles compared to a direct flight, as the routing allows you to utilize the open-jaw rule to visit two cities for the same mileage cost.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $100 for checked bags, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
