Air France KLM Flying Blue offers promo awards which are specific routes discounted 25% – 50% for a month.

• You can fly the discounted route to Paris, and include a flight beyond Paris with the discount. So you can use any of their destinations in Europe. This includes Eastern Europe like the Czech Republic, it even includes Israel and Turkey, and perhaps oddly even Libya, Tunisia and Ukraine.

• The deals can be good enough you might want to position to the city where the discount is offered from. They are usually offered on routes that aren’t filling up, so award space can be plentiful.

• Flying Blue used to limit how far into the future you could book these (to just two months) but the booking window is now much greater – these are available for booking in October and future travel through March 2023.
