American Airlines award availability. AMERICAN AIRLINES

If you fly back to the U.S. in business class from London, you’ll be hit with large taxes and fees on top of the award, too. It may make sense to instead spend a few days in another European gateway and fly back from there.

Business-class availability to Milan and Rome through August 2025

While more limited, there is some well-priced business-class availability to both Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) and Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport (FCO) for as few as 111,500 AAdvantage miles and $71.90 round-trip. I found round-trip Rome deals for Aug. 4-21, 2025, from JFK and Aug. 3-21, 2025, from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). Other dates were also available.

I found similar deals to and from Milan from both JFK and DFW, so it is definitely worth a search. Note that some of these round-trip flights include a connection in Chicago, Charlotte or Philadelphia.

Business-class availability to Madrid

TPG also found some business-class seats to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) from JFK for as few as 62,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles plus $5.60. January offers the most availability, but there are some flights available at that rate on scattered dates through the end of the schedule.

I also found a flight from Dallas to Madrid for as few as 80,500 miles and $5.60 — not quite as good, but not bad.

Business-class availability to Barcelona

We also found widespread availability from DFW to Frankfurt Airport (FRA) for 62,500-85,000 miles plus just $5.60 in November 2024 and January 2025.

Bottom line

While this availability is out there, it’s not widespread by any stretch of the imagination. You’ll need to be extremely flexible to find the best prices. Even if you don’t live near one of these hub airports, or if you want to go to a different destination in Europe, it may still make sense to lock in one of these routes and then add positioning flights later.

And for goodness’ sake, if you find a deal, you should jump on it. When you book with a program like American Airlines AAdvantage, it is easy to change or redeposit award flights if you change your mind.

While it’s certainly harder than it used to be to get a great return for your miles on international business-class flights, you can still find great deals with patience and flexibility even as programs go dynamic with pricing. Use this list of routes as a good starting point. Good luck, and I’ll see you in the forward cabin.
