Flying Blue promo rewards: US-Europe flights for 18,750 miles one way in June 2025

June 2, 2025: Flying Blue has released its monthly promo rewards for June 2025. Unfortunately, there aren’t promo awards available from as many cities as last month. But scroll down, because I’ve updated this guide—even the promo award pricing might not be the best price on these flights.

Generally, Flying Blue promo awards are available for flights within the next six months. Here’s everything you need to know about this month’s Flying Blue promo rewards.

What are Flying Blue promo rewards?

Each month, Flying Blue releases its promo rewards. These are discounts of between 25-50% on economy and business class tickets between Europe and the program’s featured reward destinations. Flying Blue no longer has an award chart, so the price you pay varies. But this discount means that you can fly to Europe for a minimal amount of points.

I love Flying Blue miles. First, Flying Blue miles are some of the easiest to get, as they are transfer partners with Membership Rewards, Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points, and Capital One Miles. The program is relatively easy to use as awards are bookable on the website. And they offer both opportunities to fly in business class to Europe and super cheap flights to Europe in coach.

Flying Blue program highlights

Flying Blue is the loyalty program of Air France and KLM. I’ve found the best use of Flying Blue to be award tickets between the United States and Europe. The program offers what are probably the cheapest tickets available between the United States and Europe through its monthly promo rewards. Flying Blue is easy to use, but charges a moderate amount of taxes and fees on business class awards. It also is a transfer partner of every major transferable point currency. For most people, Flying Blue is a program that is worth learning to use.

Positives

  • Very cheap award tickets to Europe when using Flying Blue promo rewards
  • Website is usable; awards are bookable online

Negatives

  • Taxes/Fees charged are moderately high. Expect to pay ~$100 in taxes each way on economy awards and ~$250 in taxes each way on business class awards.
  • Award change fees cost €50 to change or cancel
  • Flying Blue miles expire after 2 years of inactivity

How to search for and book Flying Blue Promo Rewards: Overview

The best way to start your search for Flying Blue promo rewards is to start on the desktop version of the Air France or KLM website. You’ll need to log in with your Flying Blue account to search for award tickets. Flying Blue is free to join, so simply create a new account if you don’t already have one.

You’ll search for Air France/KLM Promo Rewards in three steps:

  • Log into your Flying Blue account on either the Air France or KLM desktop websites. (If you don’t yet have a Flying Blue account, you’ll need to create one.)
  • Search for one-way flights along your desired route of flight by entering your origin and destination. If your dates are flexible, leave the departure date blank.
  • Once you have found a flight that works for you, re-search for the flight to find the best price, noting the number of miles and amount of the cash co-pay for each of the following options:
    • Search for the flight as a one-way on the Air France or KLM website. Note the total number of miles and taxes.
    • If you’re booking a round trip, search for the flight as a round-trip on either the Air France or KLM website.
    • Search for your flights as one-way awards on the Virgin Atlantic website.
  • Once you’ve found the most favorable way to book awards, transfer your points and book your award ticket

Step-by-step example: Searching for and booking Flying Blue Economy between the United States and Europe

Here’s how you can search for and book Flying Blue award tickets. Both the Air France and KLM websites offer a similar interface.

Step 1: Search for one-way awards

Of the Air France or KLM website, click “Book with Miles” on the booking panel and search for one-way awards. Enter your origin and destination, but leave your departure date blank.

KLM award flight booking search box, showing a search for a one-way award from New York to Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, for 1 adult in economy. The departure date box is left blank.
Start your Flying Blue award search on the KLM website.

Step 2: Find a date with award availability and favorable pricing

Your search will pull up a calendar showing the lowest fares (in terms of miles). If you are searching from or to a promo rewards destination, the fares that are subject to lower promotional pricing will be highlighted in a contrasting color. Click on any date to see the flight options.

Award calendar for the month of September, showing most dates with flights available for 18,750 miles. The top of the calendar shows that the search is for flights from New York to Paris.
The Flying Blue award calendar shows when flights are available.

While the calendar may give you a good idea about flight availability, the displayed calendar may be slightly inaccurate. If the expected pricing isn’t available on the date you select, look one day ahead or behind of your selected date. You’re likely to find the pricing you expect within one day of the date displayed on the calendar.

Step 3: Find the flight you want and click the down arrow to view price details

After clicking a date, you’ll see a list of flights with award availability. Not all flights will offer the same price, and the most favorable pricing may only be available on one flight.

Keep in mind that Air France and KLM charge taxes and fees on their awards—even on economy awards. Click on the down arrow to expand the flight listing and see the taxes and fees. Note the price in terms of miles and in terms of dollars. (There might be a better, cheaper way to book your award.)

Step 4: Price your itinerary on other sites

Even if you’re booking a Flying Blue promo reward, you may find better pricing or more favorable cancellation policies on other sites. Here are the sites you should consider searching for your same itinerary:

ProgramAdvantagesEffort required

Pricing on U.S. to Europe flights usually includes lower charges for taxes and fees.

Delta’s award pricing is almost always higher in terms of miles than other airlines.
Low
Virgin Atlantic Flying - American Express transfer partner Shorter flights can have better pricing in terms of miles.

Low

When pricing your itinerary on other sites, keep in mind that major transferable points programs frequently run transfer bonuses, possibly making another site might be a better deal even when the displayed itinerary on another site costs more miles.

Step 5: Transfer your points and book your award

Once you’ve determined that Air France/KLM Flying Blue is, in fact, the best option for booing your award, transfer your points to Flying Blue. In most programs, transfers are near-instant.

Bottom line: Flying Blue promo rewards can offer great deals

The monthly Flying Blue promo rewards can be some of the best deals to get across the Atlantic—whether you’re looking for cheap economy flights or business class. These promo rewards are particularly useful because you can get Flying Blue miles by transferring your points from most major transferable partner programs and they have moderate co-pays.
