Settle the cabin before the program: on a long-haul trip like Vancouver–Paris, it moves the price most. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on Air France 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 3.2 times the points and business about 6 times, though the cheapest business award carries heavy fees.
GOL Smiles is cheapest in economy at 9,500 points. Air France-KLM Flying Blue wins premium economy at 30,000 points on an Air France nonstop. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes business class at 55,000 points. 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 seven programs include Air Canada Aeroplan, American AAdvantage, and United MileagePlus.
In the current award data, only Air France shows nonstop space on Vancouver–Paris, but as a SkyTeam member its seats also price through alliance partners, not just Air France-KLM Flying Blue. For connecting options, the better-priced awards in the data connect in Frankfurt, London, and Seattle. Alaska Atmos Rewards sets the business-class floor as a oneworld partner, selling British Airways seats at its own rates.
