That means you can save miles on certain routes while also earning one Status Point for every mile flown on award travel.

But before we get into a prime example, it\u2019s important to note that flights from the U.S. to Europe fall into one of three Atmos Rewards distance bands:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1,501\u20133,500 miles (e.g., New York to London):<\/strong> 45,000 points in business class<\/li>\n<li><strong>3,501\u20135,000 miles (e.g., Dallas to London):<\/strong> 55,000 points in business class<\/li>\n<li><strong>5,001\u20137,000 miles (e.g., Los Angeles to London):<\/strong> 70,000 points in business class<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>American Airlines advertises in its AAdvantage award chart that AA-operated business class awards to Europe start at 75,000 miles. You can sometimes find lower rates, such as 57,500 miles per way, which is also the standard price for partner-operated awards.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of a flight you should book through Atmos Rewards instead of AA. Take Philadelphia (PHL) to Zurich (ZRH), which travels 4,015 miles.
