The Air France KLM Flying Blue loyalty program is well-known for its monthly rotating series of Promo Rewards, which offer 25–50% discounts on short-haul and long-haul redemptions on Air France and KLM flights.
The program has just released its Promo Rewards for October 2024, and this time, there are discounts available for economy flights to destinations across the world, including North America.
If you’re looking for an affordable way to get to or from Europe and beyond between now and the end of March 2025, be sure to take a look at the Promo Rewards this month.
What Are Flying Blue Promo Rewards?
Promo Rewards are a major perk to being a member of Air France KLM Flying Blue. Promo Rewards are released monthly and offer 25–50% off in select markets on Air France & KLM flights in various classes of service.
If you can find a Promo Reward that works for your schedule, they’re usually the best way to take advantage of the already competitive award pricing on Air France and KLM flights. Plus, the airlines have an excellent network in primary and secondary markets in North America, as well as expansive coverage across Europe.

In addition to the 15 long-haul Promo Rewards, there are 12 short-haul Promo Rewards available for intra-European travel.
Air France KLM Flying Blue uses harmonized standard award pricing, which means that the minimum price you’ll pay for flights from North America to Europe is the same whether you fly from Boston or Vancouver:
- Economy: starting at 20,000 miles (15,000 miles with a 25% Promo Reward)
- Premium economy: starting at 30,000 miles (26,250 miles with a 25% Promo Reward)
- Business class: starting at 50,000 miles (37,500 miles with a 25% Promo Reward)
Promo Reward tickets are available for one-way and round-trip flights, allowing for flexibility in your travel plans. Promo Reward discounts are only applicable on the lowest standard award pricing when available, and not on dynamically priced flight segments.
Keep in mind that Flying Blue Promo Rewards come with a booking deadline. You must book the October 2024 Promo Rewards during the month of October; however, the travel window extends all the way through March 31, 2025.
