How much do the taxes and surcharges add?
It depends on the airline flying the seat, not the program. On a typical seat one way: Air France $335, Delta $6, American Airlines $6, JetBlue $6. Some airlines add a carrier surcharge to award tickets on their own flights; the others charge little more than government taxes. Every total on this page already includes them.
What is the best business class from New York to Paris?
Air France, Delta, American, United and JetBlue fly it nonstop with a lie-flat seat, and La Compagnie flies an all-business-class plane from Newark. Air France flies it most often, several times a day from JFK.
Can I fly first class to Paris with miles?
Not with the programs we sell. American has no first class on the route, and Air France only releases La Première award seats to its own elite members, so this page covers business class.
Is Flying Blue a good way to book Air France?
It is the program with award seats on Air France's own flights, and its prices move with demand, so the miles can drop on quiet dates. What it adds is the cash: Air France puts a carrier surcharge on award tickets, which the calendar includes in every total.
What about a return?
The calendar covers New York to Paris one way. In miles a return is two one-ways with no return discount, and the taxes on the way back can differ. Tell us both dates and we price and book the pair.
Can I use miles I already have?
Yes. On any program under Ways to book, tap “Already have some miles?” and enter your balance: it reprices to the cost of the shortfall. Our minimum order applies, so a small shortfall may leave you with spare miles. AAdvantage is the exception: we deliver it as a ready account with the miles already in it, so it cannot be combined with your own balance.
Do you show programs you don't sell?
No. The dollar prices only cover programs we sell, so seats in other programs are left out, and some of them can be cheaper in miles. If you hold those, use them, and if you'd rather we found and booked the seat for you, ask us.
