Flying to London in business class doesn’t always have to cost a fortune.

We found an excellent deal using Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points to book business class flights from the East Coast to London Heathrow (LHR) for just 45,000 points and $25.60. That’s a fantastic price for a lie-flat seat across the Atlantic.

There’s availability on return flights, too, though you’ll want to pay attention to the taxes and fees.

Here’s what you need to know about this award deal and how to book it.

Award Alert: Details

Atmos Rewards points are some of our favorite airline currencies here at Upgraded Points, and this award alert is one of the many reasons why.

Right now, we’re seeing wide-open availability for up to 9 passengers to fly American Airlines business class from New York (JFK) and Boston (BOS) to London Heathrow for 45,000 Atmos Rewards points.

What makes this deal so good is that you’re paying just 45,000 points and $25.60 in taxes and fees, a rare combination for business class award flights to London. Just make sure you’re booking American Airlines-operated flights, as British Airways charges the same amount for the points-and-miles portion but tacks on more than $1,000 in taxes and fees.

We also found availability on return flights from London, though they come with roughly $430 in taxes and fees, largely from the U.K.’s hefty air passenger duty on premium-cabin departures.

Hot Tip:

If you’re flying from JFK to London, try to snag a flight on American’s newest Boeing 787-9, which features its Flagship Suite business-class seats on select aircraft. Read our review to see what the experience is like.

How To Book

The easiest and cheapest way to book this deal is by redeeming Alaska’s Atmos Rewards points. That said, earning Alaska points can be tricky.

The fastest way to earn Alaska points is by using an Alaska Airlines credit card, but you can also earn points by shopping through the Atmos Rewards Shopping portal, dining at restaurants that participate in Atmos Rewards Dining, or flying with Alaska’s Oneworld partners. You can also transfer points from Bilt Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy.

Final Thoughts

Flying business class to London for just 45,000 points and $25.60 is an incredible deal, especially since award flights to London often incur substantial taxes and fees. If you’ve got Atmos Rewards points and a trip to Europe on your radar, this is an excellent way to put those points to good use.
