The Air France-KLM Flying Blue program has just published a new Promo Rewards list for February 2025, offering discounted short haul and long haul awards for travel over the coming months.
There are quite a few destinations bookable with this promotion, including several in North America and the Caribbean, though unfortunately they’re mostly in economy. Let’s go over the details, as there’s potentially value to be had.

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 and KLM award space than other programs.
The Promo Rewards offer is published every month by the Flying Blue program, and offers 25% discounts off select awards for travel on Air France and KLM. The Flying Blue program has dynamic award pricing, and this promotion specifically applies for the lowest, saver level award costs.
New Flying Blue Promo Rewards now live
Flying Blue has published its February 2025 Promo Rewards, valid for bookings between February 3 and February 28, 2025. Most of these Promo Rewards have long travel windows, and can be used for flights all the way through July 31, 2025.
As a reminder, Flying Blue has standardized saver award pricing, so ordinarily you’ll pay the following amounts for one-way transatlantic awards between Europe and most of North America (we did recently see a devaluation):
- One-way economy awards cost 25,000 miles
- One-way premium economy awards cost 40,000 miles
- One-way business class awards cost 60,000 miles
Here are the awards that are available with the Promo Rewards list this month for travel between Europe and North America and the Caribbean, along with the pricing:
- Save 25% on Air France economy awards between Europe and Denver (DEN) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on Air France economy awards between Europe and Ottawa (YOW) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on Air France economy awards between Europe and Raleigh-Durham (RDU) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on KLM economy awards between Europe and Boston (BOS) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on KLM economy awards between Europe and Houston (IAH) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on KLM economy awards between Europe and New York (JFK) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on Air France economy awards between Europe and Saint Martin (SXM) — starting at 22,500 miles
- Save 25% on Air France business awards between Europe and Havana (HAV) — starting at 63,750 miles
All of the lowest priced awards in the above markets through July 31, 2025, should be bookable with the Promo Rewards pricing. You can use all of these awards for travel to and from destinations across Europe, so you can travel beyond Amsterdam and Paris.
If you’re having trouble finding availability, remember to use Flying Blue’s secret award calendar. Also keep in mind that children ages two to 12 receive 25% off Flying Blue award tickets, including Promo Rewards.

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% to several destinations in North America and the Caribbean. This has the potential to be quite a good deal, so if you have any travel you’re interested in booking, this would be a great time to do so.
Are there any Promo Rewards you’re considering booking?
I'd gripe about no business class awards being available to the USA but since they opened the floodgates (as promised) on saver award space in business class in exchange for raising the price, you don't need the Promo Awards to find reasonably priced business awards, right?
The award calendar trick no longer works
The concept of using miles to fly business class to Havana is kind of funny.
