Fly Air France Business Class to Europe for 50,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points each way (thanks to the 20% Chase Transfer Bonus to Air France/KLM Flying Blue, taking advantage of points earned via the 125K Chase Sapphire Reserve or the 90K Chase Ink Business Preferred Credit Card) from several U.S. cities this winter, with the best availability December 2025-March 2026. If you can get the dates to work for you, this is a great deal.
The A350 offers Air France's new business class suites (look for 14 rows of business class to identify aircraft with the new A350 business class cabin).
You'll need to be flexible, since many dates are more expensive. See below for the routes and rough availability, although of course space is dynamic and will book out soon.

Where to Stay in Paris
Among our favorite Paris luxury hotels are Cheval Blanc Paris, La Reserve Paris, the Four Seasons George V, and J.K. Place Paris, all of which we can reserve with Virtuoso or preferred partner beneifts. In Amsterdam, we're excited for the brand new Rosewood Amsterdam, which we can reserve with Rosewood Elite amenities.
But Paris and Amsterdam can also be the jumping off point for many other European destinations, given the ease of intra-Europe travel.
