Last Week in Travel

Picture this: After a flute of champagne (or two) in the lounge, you board the plane only to be served yet another glass. Inflight meals you actually want to eat. And a lie-flat bed that ensures you arrive refreshed and ready to explore London, Rome, or wherever else in Europe.

Your first business class flight overseas will ruin you … in the best way possible. But flying is the easy part. The hard part is actually booking these seats in the first place … or is it?

Unless you’re made of money (and c’mon, you subscribed to Thrifty Traveler…), you need some points, of course. But with the right points, you won’t need nearly as many as you think to book a business class flight abroad.

Then you need to find award availability: The seats that airlines will actually let you book with miles.

We’re helping you put together both pieces of that puzzle with our top story of the week, rounding up some of the best business class redemptions to get to Europe this year or next.
