Roughly 1,310 miles separate Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Athens International Airport (ATH), so a nonstop spends about 3h10 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Two airlines carry nonstop award space in the data, including Air France. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Airbus A220-300 and Airbus A320. Nonstops account for about 16% of the award options in the data.
On a run like Paris–Athens, cash fares are real competition for points. The cheapest economy seat is an Air France nonstop booked through the airline's own program, so saving points costs no extra time. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $49, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. When the fare is low, pay cash and hold the points for a pricier trip. Flexible bank points can reach Air France-KLM Flying Blue; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.
Air France-KLM Flying Blue wins economy at 8,000 points and business class at 22,000, both on Air France nonstops. Qantas Frequent Flyer, GOL Smiles, and Delta SkyMiles also price the route. Even with Air France-KLM Flying Blue on top, a last cross-check before transferring is cheap insurance.
Nonstop award space on Paris–Athens includes Air France, among other carriers in the data. Here the cheapest award in each cabin books through the airline's own program, with no partner arbitrage showing up at last check.
On the Paris end, Orly (ORY) runs 23,000 points in economy against the 8,000-point floor, so it's a last resort when Charles de Gaulle space is gone. Out of Paris, Barcelona is a cheaper redemption at last check, from 4,000 points. Check the departure airport code on the award before moving points.
