Below is a comparison chart I made of the current chart, intermediate chart, and fully devalued chart for
business class redemptions from the continental US, Alaska, and Canada.
A couple good one -
way business class redemptions on Iberia are Boston / NYC to Madrid for 34,000 miles, and Chicago / Los Angeles / Miami to Madrid for 42,500 miles.
This is a great rate for business class to Europe and it even approaches the insane
business class redemptions of ANA that go for 88,000 miles to Europe.
Airline miles are getting harder and harder to use economically and, although 120,000 airline miles will technically get you an American Airlines
roundtrip Business Class redemption from the continental US to Hawaii, Europe, South American and parts of Asia, have you tried actually booking such an award?
This is one of the
lowest business class redemption rates you'll ever find and it's especially attractive because you can fit one way flights up to 5,000 miles into it, which covers a lot of ground between the US and Europe.
First class saw bigger leaps with some routes increasing as much as 20,000 miles and so those sting a little more but remember that for United operated flights, Polaris first class is being phased out
so business class redemptions will be more significant in the future.
The normal rate for a business class flight to Australia from North America is an exorbitant 250,000 miles, which is one of the most
expensive business class redemptions to Australia.
A couple good one -
way business class redemptions on Iberia are Boston / NYC to Madrid for 34,000 miles, and Chicago / Los Angeles / Miami to Madrid for 42,500 miles.
To show you how good this sweet spot is for the BA award chart, United would require 60,000 miles for a
roundtrip business class redemption from DFW to CUN which is 30,000 more than Avios (and twice the price)!
Scheduled flight time: 17 hours, 30 minutes Flight number: UA 101 Aircraft: Boeing 787 - 9

For those with Chase Ultimate Rewards points, the Korean Air SkyPass program just might be the most popular way to book award flights to Hawaii on Delta, thanks to competitive economy class and
business class redemption rates.
Promo awards change every few months throughout the year, and offer 25 % or 50 % off economy and
business class redemptions from Europe to certain destinations around the world.

business class redemption rates to Hawaii.
ANA Mileage Club's
business class redemption rate is the real sweet spot — it's 40,000 miles less than what's required by United MileagePlus!
Business class redemptions to the region represent the best value with KrisFlyer miles; you can redeem for only 72,500 miles each way.
Business class redemptions are even worse.
On the few routes where American offers three - class domestic seating, such as some New York to Los Angeles flights, you're entitled to a Business Class seat on
a Business Class redemption instead.
Unfortunately, Flying Blue miles are not a good choice for
business class redemptions.
