The Flying Blue program is one of our special watchers, and the reason is simple: the dynamic award ticket pricing table makes it possible to find deals for all budgets. While the promo is still valid and there are still plenty of seats to fly to the Caribbean in business class for only 34k points each way, today we want to talk about a veritable flood of award tickets to fly from all over Italy to the East Coast of the United States at bargain prices, and we're not talking about the monthly FB offers.
The standard price
Normally the average price of a round-trip economy award ticket from Italy to the U.S., with a stopover in Paris or Amsterdam, is 50k FB points plus tax. Now, without any particular announcement by the Franco-Dutch company, there is a huge amount of tickets at almost half the points. Sure, you have to pay taxes, but given the way ticket prices are sputtering right now investing a handful of points to fly across the pond is definitely a rate to consider.
At this figure there are places practically on multiple days from September until the whole spring/summer 2023.
In New York starting at 15,000 points a way
There are plenty of seats available starting at 15k points each way. The cheapest routes are from Milan, but the difference with Rome, Venice, Naples or Florence is at most a few thousand FB points.
Washington, Boston and Chicago at little more
There are not only places to the Big Apple, but also to the entire northern part of the American East Coast.
All routes start from 17,500 FB points up to a maximum of 21,500, plus tax
