This month’s Canadian cities:
Montreal: 25% off KLM business class to Europe, North Africa, Turkey
Toronto: 25% off Air France or KLM business class to Europe, North Africa, Turkey

25% off Montreal to Europe in Business Class

Business class flights on KLM without the discount start at 55,000 miles one way out of Montreal or Toronto while Air France starts at 70,000. Round trip will start at exactly double that at 110,000 or 140,000 miles. Thus with a 25% discount one way flights will start at 41,250 and round trip for 82,500 on KLM while Air France will start at 52,500 and 105,000 miles respectively.

When you do search flights the mileage amounts will vary depending on which destinations you choose in Europe, North Africa or Turkey. As well the dates play a big part in finding those lowest amounts. You can definitely tell things are booking up for the summer as availability to Europe and coming back is sparse for June, July and August.

Here’s some quick examples of what I found this morning for departing from Canada:

 

And from Europe to Montreal/Toronto:

 

Booking and travel dates:

You can book these rewards right through to June 30th on the Air France or KLM websites. You can travel on these offers anytime between June 1, 2023 and November 30, 2023.

For summer travel you may have to get creative with your routing due to the sparse availability of the offers. You can look at flying one way into one city and then returning from another and try to be flexible with your travel dates.

Transfer from American Express Membership Rewards

Even though Air France KLM have launched their own credit card in Canada now, it is still quite new that if anyone was just starting out with it you most likely will not have enough miles from your spending to book these flights. That means if you don’t have enough Flying Blue miles or any at all, your best option is to convert American Express Membership Rewards points to Flying Blue Miles. The transfers are typically near-instant but American Express does state they can take up to 3 days.

Membership Rewards points transfer at a 1 to 0.75 ratio to Flying Blue. Which means you’ll need to transfer as little as 55,000 points for a one way KLM business class flight out of Montreal or 110,000 points for a round trip.

Even with the 1 to 0.75 ratio these represent great redemption options for your Membership Rewards points. This especially true for the American Express Cobalt Card if you earned most or all of your points at the 5x level. If you can score a round trip economy class flight for 110,000 Membership Rewards points (82,500 miles) it represents only $22,000 in 5x points spending.  You wouldn’t come even close to getting a redemption like this for that amount spending with any other credit card in Canada.

For comparison Amex’s own Fixed Points for Travel requires 140,000 points for round trip business class flights to Europe and and higher fees and taxes. With Aeroplan you’d be looking at 120,000 or more Aeroplan points which equates to 120,000 Membership Rewards points so you can see how this Flying Blue offer makes for a great conversion from Membership Rewards.

Wrapping it up

This now the third month in a row that we have had Air France KLM Flying Blue’s Promo Rewards for Canada! This month they feature 25% off business class flights out of Montreal and Toronto. With those flights starting as low as 41,250 miles each way this is good promotion to try to score some premium flights for summer or fall travel to Europe!
