Air France and KLM’s Flying Blue program is running its Promo Rewards sale again: 25% off award flights between select North American cities and Europe, China, Kenya, and Mauritius. The discount applies automatically to Promo Rewards-priced tickets — no code needed — and it has to be booked by November 30, 2026, for travel through April 30, 2027 (via Frequent Miler).

Flying Blue runs Promo Rewards most months with a rotating set of routes, so treat the specific cities below as this round’s lineup — check the official Promo Rewards page for whatever’s live when you’re booking.

What’s Discounted This Round

All prices below are one-way, in Flying Blue miles, for the lowest available Promo Rewards fare class — which comes with fewer perks (less flexible changes, no free checked bag on some fares) than Flying Blue’s standard award pricing. Round-trip will generally run close to double.

To Europe

  • Economy from 18,750 miles — Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Vancouver, Toronto, Portland (OR), Minneapolis, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Miami, and Ottawa.
  • Premium economy from 30,000 miles — San Diego and Montreal.
  • Business class from 45,000 miles — New York.

To China, Kenya, and Mauritius

These are priced in Flying Blue’s short/medium-haul bands despite being longer flights than the US-to-Europe routes above — which is what makes them some of the better values in this round:

  • Beijing, China — economy from 30,000 miles from Houston or Atlanta.
  • Shanghai, China — premium economy from 48,750 miles from Chicago.
  • Nairobi, Kenya — premium economy from 48,750 miles from New York or Toronto.
  • Mauritius — economy from 30,000 miles from New York or Montreal.

How to Book

  1. Search on Flying Blue, Air France, or KLM directly — Promo Rewards pricing shows up automatically on eligible routes, no promo code required.
  2. Leave the date field blank when you search to see a full month of pricing at once, so you can spot the cheapest days without checking one date at a time.
  3. Book by November 30, 2026 for travel completed by April 30, 2027.
  4. Remember these are the lowest Flying Blue fare class: double-check the fare conditions (change fees, checked-bag allowance) before booking if that matters for your trip.

Pair It With a Transfer Bonus

If you don’t already have a Flying Blue balance, Capital One is currently running a 20% transfer bonus to Flying Blue (1,000 Capital One miles = 1,200 Flying Blue miles), also ending November 30, 2026 — the same deadline as this sale. That timing isn’t a coincidence worth missing: transfer in, then book your discounted award before both offers expire. See our guide to Capital One transfer partners for how the transfer works and where else your miles can go.

Is This Deal Worth It?

A straight 25% cut to Flying Blue’s own award chart is a real discount, not a marketing number — 18,750 miles one-way to Europe in economy is a strong price for US-originating award tickets, and the China/Kenya/Mauritius options are priced well below what their flight distance would normally cost. The trade-off is the fare class: you’re booking into Flying Blue’s most restrictive award bucket, so this is a better fit for travelers who can be flexible on exact dates (to catch the cheapest days) than for a fixed, can’t-move itinerary.

FAQ: Flying Blue Promo Rewards

What is Flying Blue Promo Rewards?

Promo Rewards is a recurring Flying Blue sale that cuts the mileage price of award tickets by 25% on a rotating set of routes, usually announced monthly. The discount is applied automatically at checkout on eligible flights — you don’t need to enter a promo code.

Do I need a Flying Blue credit card to use this offer?

No. Any Flying Blue member can book Promo Rewards pricing. You just need enough miles in your account, which you can earn by flying Air France/KLM/Delta, or by transferring from a bank partner such as Capital One, Amex, or Citi.

What’s the catch with Promo Rewards pricing?

These tickets book into Flying Blue’s lowest award fare class, which typically comes with less flexibility (higher change/cancellation fees) and fewer included perks than standard Flying Blue award tickets. The mileage price is lower, but you’re trading away some flexibility.

When is the booking deadline for this round?

You need to book by November 30, 2026, for travel completed by April 30, 2027. Flying Blue typically runs a new Promo Rewards round with different routes the following month.
