| Flight Experience
American operates a Boeing 777 and 787 to Europe. Business class is arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone cabin layout on the 777. On the 787, the cabin layout is 1-2-1 and some seats are rear facing. Many consider the 777 to be a nicer experience.
Regardless of aircraft, each seat will be lie-flat and have direct aisle access.
You may prefer to eat at the Greenwich Lounge (JFK) or the Flagship Lounge (MIA). Inflight service can be a mixed bag but American has a solid selection of entertainment options to keep you occupied. |
| Best Ways To Book
Cathay: Solid Rate, Reduced Surcharges, Easy To Earn
At 63,000 miles one-way and limited surcharges, Cathay Asia Miles is probably your best option if you transfer points from Amex, Capital One, or Citi.
Alaska: Great Rate, No Surcharges
At 55,000 miles one-way and no surcharges, Alaska miles are your best bet if you have Bilt points.
American: Solid Round-Trip Rate, No Surcharges
If you have American miles, you can book most dates with 62,000 miles one-way or round-trip for 119,500 miles. Like Alaska, you won't be on the hook for surcharges.
I’ll note that connections on partners can reduce the award rate to 57,500 miles.
Qantas: Solid Rate, Reduced Surcharges, Easy To Earn
Qantas isn't usually a great option, but 68,400 points from all but DFW is a solid one-way business class award rate especially when you consider that you can transfer Amex, Capital One, and Citi points. |
