  • Airlines: KLM
  • Cost: 60,000 points plus about $340 in taxes and fees

How To Book

Once you have an idea of the route and dates you want to book, head over to the Flying Blue website to search for your flight. Business class award rates are a great deal here, but taxes and fees are around $340 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.

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 October to August of next year, now is a good time to book a trip to Amsterdam through the Flying Blue program. 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.
