At about 5,660 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), a nonstop runs roughly 11h50, give or take with the winds. Air Tahiti Nui, Delta, and Air France all carry nonstop award space in the data. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Boeing 787-9, Airbus A350-900, and Boeing 777-300ER. Nonstops make up only about 3% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
Settle the cabin before the program: on a long-haul trip like Los Angeles–Paris, it moves the price most. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on any of the three carriers costs more. The data doesn't include taxes on the cheapest economy seat, so confirm the cash portion at checkout. Measured against economy, premium economy is about 2.2 times the points and business about 6 times.
GOL Smiles wins economy at 9,500 points. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club takes premium economy at 20,500 points. American AAdvantage is cheapest in business class at 57,500 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards' 70,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. The other 12 programs include United MileagePlus, Avianca LifeMiles, and Air Canada Aeroplan. Economy also prices as a partner award, with the long leg on American Airlines.
Air Tahiti Nui, Delta, and Air France all show nonstop award space on Los Angeles–Paris. Delta and Air France are both SkyTeam members, so partner programs across the alliance can price the nonstop, not just the carriers' own. Beyond the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in London and Casablanca. Partner pricing sets the business-class floor: American AAdvantage books Finnair as a oneworld partner, and no program prices Finnair lower in that cabin at last check.
Check airport codes before transferring points: Los Angeles awards can also leave from Burbank (BUR), Ontario (ONT), or Orange County (SNA), and Paris awards can also land at Orly (ORY). Detroit departures price the same into Paris, from 9,500 points at last check. Los Angeles to Amsterdam prices the same, from 9,500 points.
