Business class deals from Oneworld airlines are usually a little cheaper if different departure airports are combined in the form of an open-jaw flight. This is also the case with the deals from France and the Netherlands to the USA. There are regular trips starting at roughly €1,150 to various destinations on the east or west coast of the United States.
If you book an open-jaw flight instead, you can save another €150-250. For example, the routing Amsterdam - Seattle | Seattle - Paris can be booked for €988.
By the way, British Airways is using the new Club Suite Business Class on more and more routes. Alternatively, you can also fly with American Airlines.
Fortunately, British Airways has relatively generous goodwill rules. You can simply cancel the trip and receive a voucher that can be redeemed for flights until September 2023. However, if you change your booking, the fare difference will apply. You can read the rules here on the BA website. With American, rebooking is also possible without a rebooking fee, but canceling the flight is not possible there.
The possibilities are endless, so here are just a few examples:
- Amsterdam – Philadelphia | Philadelphia – Nice at €900
- Amsterdam – Seattle | Seattle – Nice at €938
- Amsterdam – Miami | Miami – Nice at €938
- Amsterdam – Chicago | Chicago – Paris at €960
- Amsterdam – Los Angeles | New York – Paris at €987
- Amsterdam – San Francisco | San Francisco – Paris at €988
- Amsterdam – Seattle | Seattle – Paris at €988
- Amsterdam – Dallas | Dallas – Paris at €988
- Amsterdam – San Francisco | San Diego – Paris at €1,023
- Amsterdam – Los Angeles | Los Angeles – Paris at €1,037
- and many more…
The long haul can be flown with British Airways, American Airlines or partly even Finnair. British Airways mainly uses Boeing 777s with the new Club Suite. We were able to test the convincing seats (on board an A350) on a trip within Europe – here is the review:
Search & Book
Unfortunately, we cannot tell you how long the deals will be available. It is best to book as soon as possible if you are interested in this deal.
There’s availability until June 2022. The minimum stay requirement is of 6 days or one night from Saturday to Sunday.
You can use Google Flights (instructions) to search for available dates. The best thing to do is to first look for cheap tickets from the Netherlands or France to the USA and then simply change the whole thing to a multi-stop connection.
Then it should look something like this:
After selecting the exact flight connections, you can then let Google redirect you to British Airways or American. Unfortunately, this does not always work reliably, so you may have to use the airlines’ multi-stop search manually.
Mileage
The tickets are issued in booking class I. If you fly to Seattle as in the screenshot above (long-haul op. by American Airlines), you can count on the following number of miles to be credited to your account:
Mileage calculation is currently unavailable.
The number of miles can still be optimized significantly by flying e.g. AMS - LHR - HEL - MIA - LAX - MIA - HEL - LHR - CDG. You’d get 800 Tier Points and 23,700 Avios for this routing.
Information & Tips for USA
The United States offers a wide range of tourist sights, from national parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. The currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), and card payments are widely accepted. Prices vary by region but can be high in major cities, especially for accommodation and dining. Weather differs greatly across the country—winters can be harsh in the north, while the south often stays mild; summers are generally hot and humid in many areas.
The U.S. transport infrastructure is highly car-dependent, especially outside major cities. Urban centres like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have functional public transit, but many other cities have limited options. Between cities, domestic flights are common for long distances, while intercity buses and Amtrak trains cover some routes, though often with slower speeds and less frequency compared to other countries. Without a car, getting around can be inconvenient in many parts of the country.
