How stacking deals could get you a flight to Europe for under 10K miles

There is an incredible stacking opportunity right now that could get you economy flights to Europe for less than 10,000 miles one-way. Yes, that’s for this spring and summer, when prices are as high as $3,000 for coach fares to Europe.

One of the most underrated loyalty programs out there is Air France-KLM Flying Blue. Right now, there are Flying Blue award tickets for as low as 7,500 Flying Blue miles. It gets better, though.

Right now, Chase is offering a 25% transfer bonus to Flying Blue. That means if you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Flying Blue, that one-way flight drops to just about 6,000 miles (plus taxes and fees). That’s an incredible value.

Flying Blue has monthly Promo Rewards sales, but the one right now is especially good, with flights from cities across the United States to cities all over Europe, including Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona and more.
