Fly Business Class to Europe with Bilt Points
Richard Kerr    

Bilt Rewards exists so that you can get value out of your largest monthly expense: rent. One way we like to do that is by making the previously unobtainable, obtainable.

Traditionally, business class flights overseas were reserved for the rich or those with lavish expense accounts. Starting today, those luxury flights can be booked by every renter who is part of Bilt Rewards, through their earned Bilt Points.

Let's look at four ways you can use Bilt Points to fly business class over the Atlantic for 57,500 points or less.

1. 57,500 AAdvantage Miles for SAAver Awards

American Airlines only charges 57,700 miles for what they call SAAver space award business class flights, one-way over the Atlantic. Complete an award search on the American website and use the calendar view to easily find travel dates with flights available at this level.

2. 57,500 Flying Blue Miles to Paris/Amsterdam

The loyalty program of Air France and KLM, Flying Blue, also charges 57,500 miles for one-way transatlantic business class flights from the U.S. to Paris, Amsterdam and beyond.

Head to AirFrance.com or KLM.com, log-in to your Flying Blue account and use the "Book with Miles" search engine to find available seats on the route you want to fly.

3. 47,500 Virgin Points for Virgin Atlantic Upper Class

Virgin Atlantic Upper Class is one of the most sought-after and modern business class flights across the Atlantic. The lie-flat seats and onboard bar coupled with the Virgin Clubhouse lounge in your departure airport, make nearly everyone fall in love with flying Virgin Atlantic.

Book your business class seat one-way over the Atlantic from Virgin Atlantic's Northeast U.S. hubs for 47,500 points during the standard season and 57,700 miles during peak season.

4. 45,000 Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles for Business Class to Istanbul

Turkish Airlines provides a comfortable and luxurious business class experience with Turkish hospitality to complement the gorgeous aircraft interiors.

On top of that, Turkish Airways Miles&Smiles routinely charges an incredibly low amount of miles to fly business class from the U.S. to Istanbul.

Here is an example of Washington Dulles to Istanbul in business class for 45,000 Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles:

Bottom Line

Four different Bilt Rewards transfer partners afford you the ability to fly business class across the Atlantic for under 60,000 points.
