Examples of eligible flights
Paris will be very busy next summer with the Olympic Games coming in August 2024; a better time to visit the City of Light while avoiding the crowds would be in spring. Avoid the crowds and book Air France Business Class from March 15 to 22, 2024 for a total of CAD 3,158 by choosing Business Flex Class, which is refundable if you choose to cancel your trip. After receiving the $500 account credit, your round-trip business class ticket will cost you only CAD 2,658!
You can find this same price for a round-trip Ottawa-Paris itinerary from March 17 to 24, 2024; select Business Flex class and after receiving your $500 credit, your round-trip flight will have cost you only CAD 2,657 in business class.
For a trip from March 15 to 22, 2024, around trip from Vancouver to Paris that would normally cost CAD 7,200 would cost CAD 6,700 thanks to the AMEX offer. For two flights lasting around 10 hours, this is an attractive saving.
Want to discover Guadeloupe? Travel to the island in business class aboard Air France for two at a price of CAD 3,333, from February 11 to 20, 2024. With the account credit, it will cost you only CAD 2,833, or CAD 1,416 per person for a round trip between Montreal and Pointe-à-Pitre!
Is it worth it?
Obviously, this depends on your goals. If you haven’t yet accumulated enough Flying Blue miles to offer yourself Business Class with miles, and you’re planning a trip to Europe soon, this is a great way to save on your round-trip ticket and toearn Flying Blue miles for your next trip, while also earning Membership Rewards points.
Since American Express Membership Rewards points can be transferred to Flying Blue, it may be worth comparing the price of the same itinerary in points. For example, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa and Toronto are among the cities on promotion in December 2023 for Flying Blue promo rewards.
To take advantage of this AMEX offer, the most important thing is to make sure you comply with the terms and conditions, i.e. that your itinerary is round-trip, departing from Canada, in Business class, non-stop, and worth at least 3,000 CAD.
