The Air France-KLM Flying Blue program has just published a new Promo Rewards list for June 2022, offering discounts for 15 different award options. This even includes multiple destinations in the United States.

What are Flying Blue Promo Rewards?
I’m a big fan of the Air France-KLM Flying Blue program, especially for long haul premium cabin redemptions. Not only does Flying Blue largely have attractive award pricing for business class travel, but the program also has access to more Air France & KLM award space than other programs.
The Promo Rewards offer is published every month by the Flying Blue program, and offers 20-50% discounts off select awards for travel on Air France & KLM. The Flying Blue program has dynamic award pricing, and generally speaking the discounts apply on the lowest award costs, but those can still vary.
New Flying Blue Promo Rewards now live
Flying Blue has just published its June 2022 Promo Rewards, valid for bookings between June 1 and June 30, 2022. Most of these Promo Awards have long travel windows, and can be used for travel all the way through November 30, 2022 (historically Promo Rewards were only valid for travel over a two month period, but that’s no longer the case).
There are 15 Promo Rewards on the list, with nine being for short haul routes, and six being for long haul routes. Fortunately all six of the long haul routes are for travel to & from North America. Specifically, you can score a deal in the following markets:
- Save 25% on Air France economy class awards between Europe & Dallas (DFW)
- Save 25% on Air France economy class awards between Europe & Denver (DEN)
- Save 25% on Air France economy class awards between Europe & Mexico City (MEX)
- Save 25% on KLM economy class awards between Europe & Austin (AUS)
- Save 25% on KLM economy class awards between Europe & Mexico City (MEX)
- Save 25% on KLM economy class awards between Europe & Salt Lake City (SLC)
All of the lowest priced awards in the above markets through November 30, 2022, should be bookable with the Promo Rewards pricing. They’re valid in both directions of travel, whether you’re traveling to or from Europe.
On the plus side, at least there are four destinations in the United States eligible this time around, for travel on Air France or KLM. Unfortunately all North America destinations are only valid in economy, though.

Bottom line
The Air France-KLM Flying Blue program offers a Promo Rewards promotion, whereby you can book discounted award tickets in select markets. This can be a great deal, especially when you consider how easy Flying Blue miles are to come by, and also how much award space is available through Flying Blue.
With the latest Promo Rewards, you can save 25% on award tickets on select short and long haul routes. There are multiple options for North America, including savings on economy awards to Austin, Dallas, Denver, and Salt Lake City.
Are there any Promo Rewards you’re considering booking?
Different subject. Does anyone realize that Singapore Air makes it impossible to redeem Krisflyer miles online or otherwise?? They never call you back, and reply after one month or longer to your emails, with some irrelevant info. They'll take your cash, though!
Does Airfrance offer free award ticket cancellation?
Thanks
Promo awards can't be canceld. Regular award tickets for a fee of €50

So no 50% off and no business class to the USA. Again.
There is business available however only found it for MEX and AUS on a few dates in Sep and Nov
Is that promo business availability? Ben only lists coach in the promos.
Yes, check the KLM site for the calender view.
Hi Ben, have you seen Condor’s new cabin design? Their business class is fancier than what LH wants to offer.
