If you're looking to travel to Europe sometime in the next year, now might be the time to book your flights. Why? Thanks to an unadvertised award sale first noted by Frequent Miler<\/a>, you can fly from North America all the way to Europe in business class for as little as 41,250 points. Stack this with a current transfer bonus and you'll be able to drop your total costs to just 33,000 points. Let's take a look at the current offer.<\/p>\n

Promotion Details<\/span><\/h2>\n

Each month, Flying Blue<\/a> comes out with a rotating selection of Promo Rewards<\/a> offering between 25% and 50% off flights. These are an easy and reliable method to find cheap flights to Europe. This deal is not one of those. Rather, it's just a great sale on a great business-class product that'll let you get to Europe for very cheap.<\/p>\n

As it stands, you'll find these discounted rates for flights with Air France and KLM from New York (JFK and EWR) and Mexico City (MEX) on flights through the end of the calendar. We're seeing up to nine seats available on these flights, which makes this an excellent option for those flying in groups.<\/p>\n

Route Highlights<\/span><\/h2>\n

As a bonus, West Coast flyers may be interested in this Mexico City (MEX) to Amsterdam (AMS) route, though they'll obviously need to position for this flight:<\/p>\n
