If a trip to Europe this year sounds appealing, now’s your chance to firm up your plans. We’re seeing plenty of availability in business class from several U.S. cities to Frankfurt, Germany, starting at just 55,000 points one-way. Prices in economy class start at 27,500 miles, while premium economy costs 35,000 miles. Taxes and fees are minimal for all 3 classes.

These tickets are available from now all the way through February 2026, giving you a generous travel window to work with.

Let’s take a look at the details.

Award Alert — The Details

You can book these awards through Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan for as few as 55,000 points one-way per passenger in business class or 27,500 in economy. Flights will be operated by Alaska’s partner in the Oneworld alliance, American Airlines, or by Germany-based Condor, both with lie-flat seats in business on flights across the Atlantic.

• Program: Alaska
• Airlines: American Airlines, Condor
• Class: Business, economy
• Routes: Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Las Vegas (LAS), San Francisco (SFO), Portland, Oregon (PDX), Seattle (SEA), Miami (MIA), Charlotte (CLT), Boston (BOS), and New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA)
• Dates: Through February 2026
• Rates: Business from 55,000 points; premium economy from 35,000 points; economy from 27,500 points
• Seats: Up to 9 on some dates

To find available dates, you can use a tool like Seats.aero, which provides a comprehensive overview of a range of dates and routes.

Once you’ve found your transatlantic flights, you can book them through the Alaska website starting at 55,000 points plus $50 in taxes and fees per person in business class. If you prefer to save some miles, you can fly in economy or premium economy at reasonable rates of 27,500 and 35,000 points, respectively.

Best Ways To Book

You can book these flights by redeeming Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles for them.

Earning Alaska miles is relatively difficult, as the program only has 2 major transfer partners: Marriott Bonvoy (every transfer of 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points to your Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan account earns you a bonus of 5,000 miles) and Bilt Rewards, whose points transfer to Alaska at 3:1 and 1:1, respectively.

Now that Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines have merged, you can also transfer American Express Membership Rewards Points to Hawaiian Airlines and then to Alaska, all at a 1:1 rate.

Final Thoughts

We’ve found a healthy amount of business, premium economy, and economy class availability from a handful of U.S. cities to Frankfurt, Germany, from now through February 2026. You can book tickets starting at just 55,000 points each way in business, and the cash component is very reasonable at $50 per person.

Even if Frankfurt isn’t your intended destination, with rates this low, you can use this award space to get over the Atlantic and then connect onward to other parts of Europe cheaply and efficiently, thanks to numerous options for low-cost flights and trains.
