This award deal offers up to 9 seats in business class on various dates, as well as 9 seats in economy. The taxes and fees are $345 per person, unfortunately, and the exact amount depends on your departure airport.

Once you’ve confirmed availability, you can go ahead and book — or, if you need to, transfer some points over.

To boost your balance of Flying Blue miles, you can transfer points at a 1:1 ratio from American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou Rewards, Rove Miles, and Wells Fargo Rewards. You can also transfer Marriott Bonvoy points at a 3:1 transfer ratio, with a 5,000-point bonus for transferring at least 60,000 in a single transaction.

Final Thoughts

With business-class seats available from June to January, now is a good time to book a trip to Amsterdam through the Flying Blue program, covering travel from summer to winter. And once you’re in Amsterdam, most other popular tourist destinations in Europe are a quick train ride or flight away, often on low-cost carriers.

Even if you aren’t heading to Amsterdam but want to visit another part of Europe, it could be worth booking these flights before they disappear.
