KLM Business Class To Europe, Up To 8 Seats

Since Citi launched a 25% transfer bonus to Flying Blue, I wanted to flag some KLM business class award space for two or more people on several routes.


While space is better on the return, you could pair this with an alert we’ve sent previously if you can’t find outbound space on your dates. I’m sure we’ll send more alerts that could help you with the outbound as well!

Flight Experience


For the best experience, you'll want to find KLM flights operated by aircraft with a 1-2-1 business class cabin layout. This will provide the most privacy and direct aisle access in addition to a lie-flat seat.


You’ll find the 1-2-1 layout on all of KLM’s Boeing 787s and some of their Boeing 777s. KLM’s Airbus A330s have a 2-2-2 layout.


Regardless of the aircraft type, they’ll pass out Delft Blue houses before landing - my favorite flight souvenir!

Best Ways To Book


Flying Blue: Great Rates, Free Stopover, More Award Space

Flying Blue's saver award rate from the US to Europe of 50,000 miles one-way is great. With Citi’s 25% transfer bonus, you’ll only need 40,000 ThankYou Points for a one-way ticket. That’s better than some economy award rates!


The fact that you can transfer points from Amex, Bilt, Capital One, Chase, and Citi make it easy to earn the miles necessary.

You can include a stopover on a one-way but you'll need to call to book. Connections on partners will generally increase the award rate.
