If a trip to Germany sounds nice, 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 starting at just 55,000 miles per person one-way.

These tickets are available from May 2025 through March 2026, giving you a decent travel window to work with.

Let’s take a look at the details.

Once you’ve found your transatlantic flights, you can book them through the Alaska Airlines website starting at 55,000 miles plus $48.90 in taxes and fees per person in business class.

Those flying from the West Coast may pay more, depending on their departure city. Flights are still available at 55,000 miles per person from Vancouver (YVR), but you’ll pay 70,000 miles per person each way if you’re flying from cities like Seattle, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.

Best Ways To Book

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

Earning Alaska’s Mileage Plan miles isn’t as easy as some other programs, but you still have a few options.

Alaska Airlines offers both personal and small business co-branded credit cards to help you earn miles, and you can transfer points to Alaska Airlines from both Bilt Rewards (1:1 transfers) or Marriott Bonvoy (3:1 transfers, and these take 2 days to complete on average). Plus, until June 30, 2025, you can transfer Amex points to Hawaiian Airlines and then move them to Alaska Airlines.

Final Thoughts

We’ve found solid amounts of business class availability from several U.S. cities to Frankfurt, Germany from now through early 2026. You can book tickets starting at just 55,000 miles each way in business, and the cash component is very reasonable since it’s less than $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.
