The latest set of Air France KLM Flying Blue Promo Awards are out and it is nice to see Canada back on the list even though it is only for one of our cities served by Air France KLM.
The latest set of offers will be bookable as of July 1st and are
good for award travel over late summer/early fall in September and October! The offers
this time is for 50% off Business Class between Montreal and
Europe on KLM. This is a great deal considering this is for
award travel during end of peak and shoulder season when other airlines will be typically
charging higher amounts of miles if they have the availability. Don’t
have the miles? You could always consider
transferring Starpoints earned via the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express to Flying Blue.
What are the promo awards? The promo awards are a discount of 25-50%
off the regular Flying Blue mileage requirement for select AF KLM
flights in select cabins. Due to increases in the regular award
mileage requirements last year the promo awards not as grand
as they used to be but overall are they are still considered a great
deal when compared to the regular mileage requirements. With the 50%
this time the rates are slower than Aeroplan’s 90,000 miles
for a ClassicFlight Business Class ticket to Europe and pretty much any other airline’s TransAtlantic biz class redemptions. To take
advantage of this deal you must book your promo award ticket
between July 1 and 31 for travel between September 1 and October 31.
