Roughly 5,020 miles separate Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), so a nonstop spends about 10h35 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: Air France. The Boeing 777-300ER appears on those nonstop award segments. Only about 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
The cabin call comes first on Houston–Paris; on a long-haul trip, the right program follows from it. The economy floor is a partner booking on an Air France nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Its $161 in taxes and fees is the catch, well above the route's typical economy taxes; more points and less cash can come out ahead. Premium economy runs about 2.3 times the economy price and business about 3.7 times.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club takes economy at 15,000 points on an Air France nonstop. Alaska Atmos Rewards is cheapest in premium economy at 35,000 points and business class at 55,000. It also lists first class from 70,000 points on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. The other 11 programs include United MileagePlus, American AAdvantage, and Air Canada Aeroplan.
The data has one nonstop award carrier on Houston–Paris: Air France. Its SkyTeam membership means alliance partners can sell that seat too, not only Air France-KLM Flying Blue. Off the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Amsterdam, Dallas/Fort Worth, and London. The business-class floor is a oneworld partner award: Alaska Atmos Rewards prices British Airways seats.

Two related routes to weigh at last check: Detroit to Paris at 9,500 points and Houston to Amsterdam at 15,000. For a shorter trip from Houston, Cabo San Lucas and Bogota are tracked too.
