100,000 Chase Points Book Business Class to Europe

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card offers a limited-time opportunity to earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 in the first three months, which can be strategically used for business class travel to Europe. These bonus points, part of the Chase Ultimate Rewards program, can be transferred to various airline partners to secure premium seating.

One method involves transferring points to British Airways Executive Club or Iberia Club at a 1:1 ratio to book business class flights to Spain on Iberia. This option can be as low as 40,500 points for a one-way flight to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), though this specific rate is limited to a few nonstop routes from the Northeast.

Another transfer partner is Air France-KLM's Flying Blue program. Business class redemptions on this network can start from 60,000 miles per person. However, these rates are dynamically priced, meaning popular travel dates can significantly increase the mileage requirement, and additional carrier-imposed surcharges will apply.

For a more consistent and widely available option, Air Canada Aeroplan is recommended. This program offers fixed business class rates to Europe and good availability across numerous Star Alliance airlines for transatlantic routes.
