Deal of the day: Fly first class to London this fall and winter for 67.5K points
Editor's Note
Quick summary
There are lots of reasons to love London in the fall and winter months. When you visit in the fall, you'll be treated to lovely fall foliage and mild temperatures (but we still recommend an umbrella and coat just in case). Come winter, that just-in-case coat will become a necessity, but you can bundle up to see the city fully festooned for the holiday season and visit popular Christmas markets in Hyde Park and Trafalgar Square.
Right now, there's one more reason to love London: the fantastic American Airlines Flagship First points pricing we found from several U.S. cities via the all-new Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards program. Atmos Rewards is Alaska Airlines' and Hawaiian Airlines' joint loyalty program, following their merger last year.
Instead of paying the staggering cash price of nearly $14,000, you can fly American Airlines Flagship First for just 67,500 Atmos Rewards points.
Here's what you need to know to score this deal.

TPG's deal of the day basics
Airline: American Airlines booked via Alaska Airlines' Atmos Rewards program
Routes: From John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to London's Heathrow Airport (LHR)
Best way to book: Atmos Rewards points (Bilt Rewards is a transfer partner)
Price: 67,500 miles plus $18.10 in taxes and fees for the outbound flight and $392.71 for the return flight to the U.S.
Retail price: $13,933 one-way
Travel dates: September 2025-February 2026
TPG values Atmos Rewards points at 1.45 cents per point, per our August 2025 valuations. But if you redeem your points to book this first-class flight, you'd get a value of over 20 cents per point.
How to find and book TPG's deal of the day
We used the time-saving Seats.aero tool to quickly find award availability between the U.S. and London (just enter "USA" into the origin or destination box to search for major U.S. airports). This tool makes it easy to see which dates are available and from which U.S. airports.
Once you find your dates, head to Alaska Airlines' website to confirm award availability.
If your home base airport isn't JFK, BOS or ATL, you may be able to find connecting flights to London — but it will likely cost you more points. Instead, it could be worth booking a positioning flight to one of these airports to take advantage of this deal.
As you can see in the screenshots above, you can also book American Airlines business class through Alaska Airlines for only 45,000 points.

Bottom line
We don't see first-class flight deals this good come around very often. With a hefty cash price of nearly $14,000, you may not have considered flying to London in a cushy lie-flat seat with access to fine dining and a first-class lounge experience, but this sale puts all of that well within reach.
