If you have ever stared longingly at those lie-flat business seats while trudging to your middle seat in the last row of economy with your kids, snacks, and sanity barely hanging on, then this post is for you. With the right stash of points and miles and everything you learned from Award Travel Academy, you can snag a dreamy business class deal for pennies on the dollar.
Scouring the internet for all the incredible options for a trip in spring 2026 has been my newest obsession. I’ve compiled the ultimate list of business class deals for Spring 2026. Below, you will find some business class flights that you can book with points and miles for March and April 2026. (This is just a small representation of what you can find.) Imagine spring break in Spain, a Roman holiday, or even endless adventures in Doha. Pull up, because your business-class-flight fantasy trip is about to get very, very real.
Tapas, siestas, and a cheeky glass of sangria? Yes, please. Business class to Madrid is yours for as low as 55,000 points, which means you can start your Spanish getaway well-rested and ready to stroll down the Gran Vía in style. Whether you’re booking with Atmos, Avios, Aeroplan, or American, there are plenty of ways to score this dream flight.
