Deal of the day: Book premium economy seats to Paris from 34,000 Chase points
Editor's Note
If you're dreaming of a trip to Paris, you're in luck. This week, we have found wide availability of low-cost Air France premium economy awards for the rest of 2026 through early 2027. Whether you're hoping for a late-summer holiday or winter in France, there are plenty of options available.
And, you can save a few thousand points if you take advantage of a limited-time transfer bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air France-KLM Flying Blue.
(Note that prices and availability were accurate at the time of writing.)

How to find and book TPG's deal of the day
We recommend starting your search with the handy Seats.aero tool to narrow down your options. Then, head to the airline's website to confirm award availability and book your tickets.
As you can see, there's availability on a large number of routes from multiple U.S. hubs to CDG for 40,000 Flying Blue miles.
We found this deal on various dates from August 2026 onward, and there's wide-open availability throughout the first few months of 2027.
Even better, Chase is offering a 20% transfer bonus to Flying Blue through May 27 — meaning you could transfer just 34,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to your Flying Blue account to earn the 40,000 miles needed to book a one-way flight. If you don't have Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you can also transfer from all of the major credit card programs, including Amex Membership Rewards points and Citi ThankYou Rewards, at a 1:1 ratio.
Just remember that transfers are irreversible, so always confirm award availability with the airline before transferring your rewards.
