The newest set of Air France KLM’s Promo Awards
went live today and for us Canadians this set has four cities
for us! With promo awards the
discount
ranges from 25 to 50%
off the regular amount of miles required to redeem for these flights. As
you can see just by the
discount this can be a very good offer if you get 50% off for Business
Class! However for us here in Canada we don’t get any 50% offers once
again but we
do get 25% off which can definitely be utilized by some! While 25%
isn’t as good as 50% of course, it still is
something to look at if you were planning travel in the November of this year. The only exception is Economy Class between Vancouver and Europe which is good for November and December if you choose Air France via Paris.
The offers are:
Vancouver to Europe 25% off Economy or Business Class
Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal 25% off Business Class
Offer Details:
September Promo Awards – Save 20% to 50% on the Award Miles usually required

Here are all the details on the Canadian offers available for booking this month:
Don’t
have all the miles? You could
always consider
transferring Starpoints earned via the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express
to Flying Blue. The card has a 25,000 Starpoint bonus right now which
translates to 30,000 Flying Blue miles! You can add in even
more miles with the Marriott Rewards Premier Visa card,
its 50,000 point sign up bonus translates to 16,666 Starpoints which
means another 16,666 Flying Blue miles. That’s almost enough miles fly the Economy Class routes and have some miles left over or if you include some extra little miles from meeting the minimum spend on the Starwood card you’ll have enough miles for a one way business class ticket.
