The newest set of Air France KLM’s Promo Awards
went live last Friday and for us Canadians this set has three cities for us! We haven’t seen a Canadian city in the Promo Awards list since February so this is great news. 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 first two months
of the year.
Offer Details:
July Promo Awards – Save 20% to 50% on the Award Miles usually required
for an award ticket. Destinations vary by each promotional period. Full Details Book by Jul 31 for travel Oct 1 – 31, 17
Here are the Canadian offers available for booking this month for travel in April & May:
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 20,000 Starpoint bonus right now which
translates to 25,000 Flying Blue miles! More than enough miles for a one
way flight in Economy between Vancouver and Europe. You can add in even
more miles with the Marriott Rewards Premier Visa card, its 30,000 point sign up bonus translates to 10,000 Starpoints which means another 10,000 Flying Blue miles. That’s almost enough miles to do the round trip Vancouver-Europe flight.
