Smart Travel: Upgrade Your Getaways
Where 100,000 Points Can Take You: First Class Seats, Five-Star Suites and VIP Upgrades

In terms of pricing, a one-way flight from the East Coast to Europe would cost you 90,000 points, and a West Coast flight would be 100,000. This is definitely an aspirational redemption. Keep in mind that one-way international flights are often more expensive than round trips, but a one-way from San Francisco to Frankfurt can cost more than $11,000 in first class.

Definitely. Air Canada miles are super accessible. But let me just talk a little bit more about what it's like to fly in first class, because it is such a cool experience. I flew to Boston from Frankfurt, where Lufthansa has an entire terminal just for first class passengers.

Yeah, there was a private check-in area, sleeping rooms, sit-down dining. And when it was time to board, there was even a car to drive me to the plane.

First class definitely blows business class out of the water. The food is tastier and the bed is so much bigger. Now this is a little silly, but my favorite part about flying Lufthansa first class is getting a rubber duck from the lounge as a souvenir.

Yeah, it's a really fun thing that Lufthansa does. And some people will actually time their trips during certain holidays or events like the Olympics to get a limited edition duck.
