New York → Paris Business Class January 2027
New York to Paris in Lie-Flat Business for 42K Miles Each Way
New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), Business, One Way.
Nonstop lie-flat business class from New York to Paris for 42,000 miles each way — a seat that normally runs 150K+ in miles or about $2,559 in cash. Availability is strongest December through February, and Philadelphia matches the 42K price while Charlotte comes in at 60K. One-ways are bookable, so you can pair this with a cheaper return.

Choose American Airlines as the operating carrier, select One-way, and enter your nearest departure city from the list above.
Set the cabin to Business Class and enter your passenger count, then search exact dates one at a time. JAL's calendar view is unreliable, so single-date searches surface space the range view hides.
Filter for nonstop results and confirm the seat is live before doing anything else.
Transfer points from Bilt or Rove at 1:1, then return to JAL and complete the booking. Pay the roughly $6 in taxes and fees at checkout.
If JAL errors out repeatedly, search the same flights on Alaska's site using "Use points" and filter to Partner Business — 55,000 points each way.
