New Discount Offers Make European Travel More Accessible
Traveling to Europe has become more convenient thanks to a fresh initiative from Flying Blue, the shared loyalty program of Air France and KLM.
Each month, these airlines roll out a 25 percent discount on mileage redemptions for select routes. This month’s offer is valid for bookings made by January 31 and covers travel until June 30, 2025.
The deals are applicable to economy and premium economy seating, depending on the specific flight. Here is the overview of the current offers:
- Atlanta (ATL) to/from Europe in economy: 15,000 miles
- Miami (MIA) to/from Europe in economy: 15,000 miles
- Phoenix (PHX) to/from Europe in economy: 15,000 miles
- Chicago (ORD) to/from Europe in premium economy: 26,250 miles
- New York (JFK) to/from Europe in premium economy: 26,250 miles
Air France’s primary hub is in Paris (CDG), while KLM’s main base is at Amsterdam (AMS). These strategic locations facilitate easy connections to various destinations across Europe.
As an illustration, you could secure a one-way flight from Phoenix (PHX) to Rome (FCO) traveling through Paris (CDG) for just 15,000 miles, a fare that ordinarily could exceed $700. However, keep in mind that additional taxes and fees, which vary by route and class, may add approximately $200 to your total cost at the time of booking.
Individuals new to Air France or KLM can still earn Flying Blue miles without prior flights. Joining the loyalty program is free and requires only a few minutes to complete.
Moreover, Flying Blue collaborates with several well-known credit card reward programs like Amex Membership Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards, allowing users to transfer points seamlessly. Travelers can visit either Air France or KLM websites to redeem their points for these attractive offers.
Additionally, Flying Blue occasionally features discounts on business class flights, providing an economical option for a premium traveling experience across the pond with added comforts like lie-flat beds.
