Seattle–Paris Flights
Flying Seattle to Paris covers about 5,000 miles, linking Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) with Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG); a nonstop takes roughly 10h30, with winds moving it either way. The nonstop award space in the data is split across Air France, Alaska Airlines, and Delta. The Airbus A350-900 appears on some of those nonstop award segments. Only about 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles
Settle the cabin before the program: on a long-haul trip like Seattle–Paris, it moves the price most. The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on any of the three carriers costs more. The data doesn't include taxes on the cheapest economy seat, so confirm the cash portion at checkout. Stepping up costs about 2.2 times the economy points for premium economy and about 5 times for business, though the cheapest business award carries heavy fees.
Best Points & Miles Programs
GOL Smiles is cheapest in economy at 9,500 points. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club wins premium economy at 20,500 points and business class at 49,000. Alaska Atmos Rewards' 70,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. Of the other nine, Air Canada Aeroplan, United MileagePlus, and American AAdvantage are worth a look too. Economy is priced as a partner award, so the miles and the metal come from different airlines.
Airlines & Routing Options
Three airlines show nonstop award space on Seattle–Paris: Air France (SkyTeam), Alaska Airlines (oneworld), and Delta (SkyTeam). Partner programs in both alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. Beyond the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in London, Frankfurt, and Munich.
