If Europe is on your travel list for this fall or winter, Flying Blue just released another round of discounted award flights.
Each month, Flying Blue, the loyalty program for Air France and KLM, discounts select award routes through its Promo Rewards program. This month’s offers include several routes between North America and Europe for 25% fewer miles than usual.
Discounted one-way awards start at:
- 18,750 miles in economy
- 30,000 miles in premium economy
- 45,000 miles in business class
The discounts are available for bookings made through September 30, 2026, for travel through February 28, 2027.
Where You Can Fly for Fewer Miles
This month’s discounted awards are available from the following North American departure cities.
| Departure City | Cabin | Starts At |
|---|---|---|
| Chicago (ORD) | Economy | 18,750 miles |
| Detroit (DTW) | Economy | 18,750 miles |
| Los Angeles (LAX) | Economy | 18,750 miles |
| Miami (MIA) | Economy | 18,750 miles — Flying Blue Extra only |
| Montreal (YUL) | Economy | 18,750 miles |
| Newark (EWR) | Economy | 18,750 miles |
| Washington, D.C. (IAD) | Economy | 18,750 miles |
| Boston (BOS) | Premium economy | 30,000 miles |
| New York (JFK) | Premium economy | 30,000 miles |
| San Francisco (SFO) | Premium economy | 30,000 miles |
| Toronto (YYZ) | Premium economy | 30,000 miles — Flying Blue Extra only |
| Vancouver (YVR) | Premium economy | 30,000 miles |
| Mexico City (MEX) | Business | 45,000 miles |
| Minneapolis (MSP) | Business | 45,000 miles |
Those are starting prices, so you won’t find the lowest rate on every date.
It’s also worth remembering that Paris and Amsterdam don’t necessarily have to be your final destination. Depending on availability, Flying Blue can price connecting itineraries to destinations elsewhere in Europe at the same mileage rate.
That means a Promo Reward from the U.S. to Paris could potentially get you to another city in Europe for the same number of miles.
Don’t see your home airport? Check nearby departure cities, too. A separate flight, drive, or train ride to another airport can sometimes open up more options.
How to Find Flying Blue Promo Rewards
The discounted prices aren’t available on every flight, so the next step is finding dates when the lower rates actually appear.
PointsYeah searches live Flying Blue award availability alongside other supported airline loyalty programs.
Search your route and compare nearby dates to see when the discounted awards are available.

Flying Blue is also a transfer partner of several major credit card rewards programs, including American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One Miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou Rewards, and Wells Fargo Rewards.
Before transferring, check whether there’s a current transfer bonus to Flying Blue. If there is, the number of credit card points you need could be lower than the mileage price shown by Flying Blue.

Things to Know Before You Book
A few details are worth knowing before booking:
- Book by September 30, 2026.
- Travel is valid through February 28, 2027.
- Book through Air France or KLM using your Flying Blue account.
- Taxes and fees are charged in addition to the required miles.
- Award tickets can generally be changed or canceled for a €70 fee, plus any applicable fare difference.
- Select Promo Rewards require a Flying Blue Extra subscription.
You also don’t need to book a round trip. If you find a good Promo Reward to Europe but the return flight is expensive, you can book the outbound through Flying Blue and use another airline, loyalty program, or cash fare for the trip home.
Find the Flight Before You Transfer
Don’t move credit card points to Flying Blue just because you see a discounted route.
Find the flight you want first and make sure the lower price is available on your travel date. Then compare it with your other options.
Once you’re ready to book, transfer only the points you need. Credit card point transfers can’t be reversed, and leaving points in your credit card rewards account gives you far more options than moving them to Flying Blue without a specific flight in mind.
