5 US Cities → Amsterdam & Paris Premium Economy Aug 2026 (Flying Blue Sale)
Amsterdam & Paris Premium Economy from 30K Points Each Way — 25K with the Citi Bonus
New York (JFK) to Amsterdam (AMS), Premium Economy, One Way.
Flying Blue has cut premium economy to Amsterdam and Paris to 30,000 miles each way — 25% off the usual 40K — with nonstop departures from New York, Washington D.C., Houston, Las Vegas, and San Diego. Cash for the same JFK-to-Amsterdam nonstop runs about $1,174, so at 30K miles plus roughly $230 in taxes you're getting about 3.15 cents per point. Citi is running a 20% transfer bonus right now, which drops your real cost to 25,000 Citi points each way. Availability is widest in August, September, and January.
