Every month, Air France and KLM’s Flying Blue award program releases a set of discounted award flights. In the past, we’ve seen deals as good as 50% off business class and economy class flights to Europe.
To take advantage of the promotion, you’ll have to book the ticket by September 29 for travel between October 31 and December 30, 2018. Keep in mind that routes must specifically be between New York’s Kennedy airport (JFK) and Paris-Orly (ORY), the capital city’s smaller international airport.
Flying Blue recently moved to a confusing and dynamic award pricing system, but when searching during the eligible dates, award tickets appeared to be widely available at the advertised prices.
I flew Air France’s 777-300ER in premium economy earlier this year, and while I wasn’t a huge fan of the seat itself, its IFE and other amenities were solid. And at a heavily discounted price it makes more sense to fly the product, which features more leg room and a wider seat than regular coach class.
And for anyone close enough to fly out of Toronto, Flying Blue is also offering 50% off premium economy itineraries anywhere in Europe.
How To Book
Don’t worry if you don’t have any miles in your Flying Blue account. The mileage program is transfer partners with all of the major credit card points programs, including Chase Ultimate Rewards (instant transfer), Citi ThankYou Points (instant transfer), American Express Membership Rewards (instant transfer) and SPG/Marriott (4-day transfer). If you don’t have an account you can sign up for one here.
Here’s a sampling of credit cards you can use to earn points in these programs:
Points from credit cards like the Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card or can help cover the cash you shell out for ticket’s taxes and fees.
