This Easy Hack Lets You Fly From the U.S. to Europe in Business Class for Less Than $1,000

“You can fly business class to Europe for less than $1,000.”

That’s what content creator Jordan Egbert proclaimed in a recent Instagram reel. Don’t worry — he didn’t stop there. Egbert explained the very simple way you can actually snag these flights, adding, “Anyone can book this, and you don’t need to sign up for any credit cards. I’ll show you exactly how.”

In his video, Egbert brings viewers along as he boards his flight to Europe on Air France, which he says has “one of the best business-class seats.” However, it’s about more than just the seat. 

“The exclusive experience starts even before boarding,” Egbert shares. “With this ticket, you get access to Air France’s airport lounges, where you can enjoy unlimited food and drinks and properly relax before your flight. Once on board, you receive a hot steamed towel, a stacked amenities kit with slippers, and a menu curated by French chefs.”

The food? “Absolutely delicious.” The seat? “Fully lie-flat, so if you want to sleep, you will do so comfortably.” Oh, and don’t forget to order dessert. “It’s divine.”

According to Egbert, the overall experience is well worth the higher price tag — but it can be yours for less than you think. 

“Here’s how to book this for so cheap: Each month, Air France releases 25 percent off reward promotions for flights to and from select cities in the U.S. and Canada to Europe. That means you can book business-class flights for just 37,500 points.” 

According to Egbert, if you already have those points on Flying Blue, Air France’s loyalty program, that’s great. But if you have them on your credit card, all you need to do is transfer them to Air France. And, if you still don’t have enough, you can purchase those points with the airline and still save. 

“Right now, it would cost $695 for 38,000 points,” Egbert says. “It will cost an additional $200 in taxes and fees, which would bring the grand total of this flight to just $895.” 

When we checked on the morning of Aug. 12, we could purchase those same 38,000 points for $1,159, which would work out to $869.25 if there was a 25 percent off sale (this, however, did not factor in any ticket taxes or fees, so please keep that in mind if you try this trick). So, yes, it appears to be possible. All you need to do is stay vigilant for sales, so you can scoop up those lower-cost points and fares to get you to your dream European destination for much less in style.
