Business class deals pop up every so often — and we’ve found some great award availability to and from Amsterdam in late 2024 and early 2025.

These lie-flat seats are bookable with miles on United Airlines’ nonstop routes between the U.S. and Amsterdam, but you’ll have to act fast.

Award Deal — Details

Aeroplan, the loyalty program of Air Canada, has some excellent deals to get you to Europe. This time, we found numerous routes bookable with points so you can fly comfortably in the sky to Amsterdam.

  • Class: Business
  • Route: Washington, D.C. (IAD), Chicago (ORD), Houston (IAH), or Newark (EWR) to Amsterdam (AMS) or Brussels (BRU) 
  • Cost: From 60,000 points and $56.38 in taxes and fees
  • Travel Dates: October 2024 to March 2025
  • Award Seats: Up to 5 passengers per route

How To Book

We’re seeing the most availability in January and February of 2025, but there’s also availability in October and November of 2024 plus a few dates in March of 2025. Not only can you take advantage of these favorable points deals, but you’ll likely score a bargain on hotels and other activities by visiting this time of year — winter, which is typically low season in Amsterdam.

Although United Airlines operates this flight, you’ll find a cheaper price booking through Aeroplan. These awards are available for 35,000 points per person in economy or 60,000 points per person in business class. Both awards have the same taxes and fees: 78 CAD, which is roughly $56.38.

The easiest way to find dates is to use a tool like Seats.aero or head to United’s site for the 30-day calendar view. If you aren’t logged in but can see awards for 80,000 miles in business class, those should be available on partner websites.

Final Thoughts

With up to 5 business class seats available per route, it won’t be long before the availability gets snatched up in no time. Now’s the time to plan a trip to Amsterdam (or somewhere further afield in Europe) with this favorable pricing and open availability through Aeroplan.
