Flight prices can be out of control and finding ways to use your points and miles can seem impossible. But there are still amazing deals out there if you know where to look – just ask our Thrifty Traveler Premium members.
In fact, the deals are better than ever. In the last week alone, we've sent more than two dozen alerts including premium economy flights to northern Europe from $677 roundtrip, cheap flights to New York City under $199 roundtrip, and business class flights to Germany from 55,000 points each way.
And that's just a small taste of the cheap flights and fare deals we've found. We've got a team of eight flight deal experts scouring the globe for the best flight deals every day for our Thrifty Traveler Premium members – departing from more than 200 U.S. airports.

Finding big sales to NYC isn't that difficult. The three major airports – JFK (JFK), La Guardia (LGA), and Newark (EWR) – have tons of competition, which drive prices to lows like we found this week. NYC itself might be expensive, but getting there certainly doesn't have to be.
Biz Class to Germany from 55K Points Each Way
Business class flights to Germany are easier to find than ever thanks to Condor Airlines. The relative newcomer to the business class game has really made a name for itself with its brand new A330 seats.
We flew them. They're amazing.
And for just 55,000 Alaska Airlines miles each way, you can snag these seats flying to and from Frankfurt (FRA) this year.
This is one of the best business class redemptions out there thanks to Alaska's awesome award program.
Bottom Line
Travelers nationwide may be writing off trips when all they see is high airfare and yet here we are: Proving that cheap flights and amazing deals to use your points and miles are still out there.
It's been another amazing week for Thrifty Traveler Premium members – especially the ones who booked Premium Economy flights to northern Europe from $677 roundtrip, cheap flights to New York City under $199 roundtrip, and business class flights to Germany from 55,000 points each way.
