The newest SkyTeam partner (bookable since March 2025) opens up excellent access to South America. Strong availability and reasonable pricing make this a solid option for Buenos Aires, Patagonia, or getaways in the Mendoza wine region.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: The EZE–MIA Business Class route at just 50K after voucher is exceptional value for reaching South America. Regional flights within South America drop to under 19K after voucher.

• Example Routes:
  • Buenos Aires (EZE) to Rome (FCO)
  • Buenos Aires (EZE) to Miami (MIA)

A reliable partner for reaching Mexico, Latin America, and surprisingly: Asia and Cuba. The 787-9 serves long-haul routes with a comfortable product, and award space is generally good.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: The Havana–Amsterdam route is a hidden gem for Cuba access. Europe–Mexico at 35K after voucher offers solid value.
• Availability Found: 6 Economy seats on HAV–AMS in January 2026. Good availability on Europe–Mexico routes.
• Example Routes:
  • Paris (CDG) to Mexico City (MEX)

One of the most reliable partners for Business Class availability. Air France’s long-haul product is excellent, and their extensive network from Paris CDG makes connections easy from Scandinavia.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: We found 4–9 Business Class seats per flight on routes like CPT–CDG and HND–CDG. CDG–RUN (Réunion) is perfect for a winter escape to the Indian Ocean.

• Example Routes:
  • Paris (CDG) to Tokyo (HND)
  • Paris (CDG) to Cape Town (CPT)

Notoriously stingy with award space, but we found some gems. When Delta releases seats, they can offer solid value, especially on transatlantic and South American routes. Be ready to book instantly.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: Those US–Buenos Aires Economy fares at 25K after voucher are outstanding value. AMS–TPA and LHR–SEA showed 7–9 Business Class seats.
• Availability Found: Multiple January 2026 dates with 9 Economy seats on US–EZE routes. Business Class through April 2026.
• Example Routes:
  • Amsterdam (AMS) to Tampa (TPA)
  • London (LHR) to Seattle (SEA)
  • New York (JFK) to Buenos Aires (EZE)

Excellent for reaching Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Garuda’s Business Class is underrated, and availability is generally better than other Asian carriers. Great for Bali trips.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: The JED–CGK route showed 5 Business Class seats on multiple March 2026 dates. The Middle East routing works well if connecting from Europe via the Gulf.
• Availability Found: January–March 2026 with good Business Class availability.
• Example Routes:
  • Amsterdam (AMS) to Jakarta (CGK)
  • Jeddah (JED) to Jakarta (CGK)

Your gateway to East Africa. Good availability on the Nairobi hub routes, making this ideal for safari trips to Kenya, Tanzania, or unique routings connecting Asia to Europe via Africa.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: The NBO–Europe direct routes at 65K Business after voucher are excellent for a Kenya safari. The BKK–Europe via NBO routing offers a unique Asia-Africa-Europe itinerary.
• Availability Found: December 31, 2025 through May 2026 — perfect timing for peak safari season bookings.
• Example Routes:
  • Nairobi (NBO) to Amsterdam (AMS)
  • Nairobi (NBO) to London (LHR)
  • Bangkok (BKK) to Amsterdam (AMS)

Like Air France (same group), KLM offers reliable Business Class availability and an excellent hard product. Amsterdam Schiphol is an easy connection point from Scandinavia.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: We found 2–4 Business Class seats on AMS–JNB, AMS–CPT, AMS–KIX, and AMS–ICN. The South Africa routes are perfect for a southern hemisphere summer escape.

• Example Routes:
  • Amsterdam (AMS) to Cape Town (CPT)
  • Amsterdam (AMS) to Osaka (KIX)
  • Amsterdam (AMS) to Buenos Aires (EZE)

One of the best Business Class products in SkyTeam, with excellent hard product and service. The catch? Award space is extremely limited, often just 1 seat per flight. Set alerts and be flexible.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: Korean Air’s Business Class is worth experiencing, and at 90K after voucher, it’s accessible if you can find seats.
• Availability Found: Scattered dates through November–December 2026, but only 1 Business Class seat per flight. Economy typically shows 2 seats.
• Pro Tip: ⚠️ If traveling as a couple, you may need to book separate flights or settle for Economy. Solo travelers have the best shot at Korean Air Business.
• Example Routes:
  • Seoul (ICN) to London (LHR)
  • Seoul (ICN) to Toronto (YYZ)
  • Seoul (ICN) to Amsterdam (AMS)

The hidden gem of SkyTeam redemptions. Saudia’s new Business Class is genuinely excellent, and the ultra-long-haul routes offer insane value. The catch: complex routings with layovers in Jeddah/Riyadh, and Business Class often limited to 1 seat.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: Those 25K Business Class redemptions after voucher on routes like DXB–NBO are among the best value in all of SkyTeam. Yes, really — Business Class for 25,000 points.
• Availability Found: March and November 2026 on the ultra-value routes. December 2026 for IST–BKK/DPS/HKT.
• Pro Tip: Expect layovers in Jeddah or Riyadh — but worth it for the points savings and Saudia’s excellent new cabins.
• Example Routes:
  • Dubai (DXB) to Nairobi (NBO)
  • Istanbul (IST) to Bangkok (BKK)
  • Paris (CDG) to Manila (MNL)

• Why It’s NOT a Sweet Spot: At 95K Economy or 190K Business after voucher, you’re paying what other airlines charge without a voucher.
• The Upside: CPH–SGN is a direct flight from Copenhagen with availability in January 2026. But you’re much better off booking Air France or KLM to Asia.
• Example Routes:
  • Copenhagen (CPH) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)
  • Frankfurt (FRA) to Hanoi (HAN)

Premium transatlantic flying at its finest. Virgin’s Upper Class is consistently rated among the best Business Class products, and the new SAS codeshare makes connections from Scandinavia seamless.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: We found 3–6 Business Class seats on LAX–LHR and SFO–LHR departing Dec 27–Jan 2. The ICN–MLE route at just 12.5K after voucher is incredible for a Maldives trip.
• Availability Found: Excellent last-minute availability for New Year’s travel. JFK–BGI for Caribbean escapes in November 2026.
• Pro Tip: Use SAS to connect from Scandinavia to London, then onward on Virgin Upper Class to the US.
• Example Routes:
  • London (LHR) to Los Angeles (LAX)
  • London (LHR) to San Francisco (SFO)
  • Seoul (ICN) to Maldives (MLE)

A lesser-known option for reaching China, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Business Class availability is extremely rare (often just 1 seat), but Economy can be a solid value play for long-haul routes.

• Why It’s a Sweet Spot: The Australia routes at 70K Economy after voucher offer decent value for reaching Down Under.
• Availability Found: Limited — Economy only on most routes.
• Pro Tip: ⚠️ Business Class is nearly impossible to find — we rarely see more than 1 seat. Use Xiamen for Economy redemptions only.
• Example Routes:
  • Paris (CDG) to Sydney (SYD)
  • Bangkok (BKK) to Amsterdam (AMS)
  • Xiamen (XMN) to Paris (CDG)
