Business class deals aren’t dead. Here’s how to find them.

Mexico to/from South Africa business class for 110K
Example: Mexico City to Johannesburg on Air France

Mexico to/from Europe business class for 105K
Example: Mexico City to London via Paris on Air France

Example: Amsterdam to Mexico City via Paris on Air France

South America to Europe business class for 105K
Example: Colombia to Paris on Air France

Example: Brazil to Paris on Air France

Europe to/from Asia business class for 80-90K

Caution: Delta frequently shows phantom award space with Korean Air.  Before transferring miles to Delta or buying miles, double check that the award space exists via Air France’s website.

Example: Paris to Seoul on Korean Air
As you can see above and in the award calendar below, it’s also possible to book Europe to South Korea business class for 80K miles if you fly Saudi, but I think that the non-stop Korean Air flight is definitely worth the extra 10K miles.
Example: Seoul to Amsterdam on Korean Air

Example: Vienna to Taipei via China Airlines business class

Fly within Europe for 10K economy or 20K/25K business

For a better deal, but with Virgin Atlantic miles, see: Air France & KLM across Europe for less.

Example: Amsterdam to Bucharest for 10K economy or 25K business

Example: Paris to Lyon for 10K economy or 20K business

South Korea to/from Japan business class for 15K

Caution: Delta frequently shows phantom award space with Korean Air.  Before transferring miles to Delta or buying miles, double check that the award space exists via Air France’s website.

Example: Seoul to Tokyo on Korean Air business class

Many, many more…

The image above shows airports around the world that are served by SkyTeam airlines.  Since Delta is a SkyTeam member, you theoretically have the ability to use SkyMiles to book any/all of those flights.  And that image doesn’t even include Delta’s non-alliance partners like Virgin Atlantic.  As long as the route doesn’t begin or end in either the United States or Canada, and if awards are available, you should be able to find more reasonable prices like the many examples shown above.  Use Delta.com to do your searches and make sure to click the “Shop with Miles” box.

Happy hunting!
