The Air France-KLM Flying Blue program has just published a new Promo Rewards list for January 2026, 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 the Americas. Unfortunately most of the destinations are for travel in economy (especially for those who aren’t Flying Blue Extra members), but still, there’s potentially quite a bit of 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 January 2026 Promo Rewards, valid for bookings between January 1 and January 31, 2026. Most of these Promo Rewards have long travel windows, and can be used for flights all the way through June 30, 2026.
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:
- 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, along with the pricing:
- Save 25% on Air France economy awards between Europe and Houston (IAH) and New York (JFK) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on KLM economy awards between Europe and Atlanta (ATL), Houston (IAH), Las Vegas (LAS), Miami (MIA), New York (JFK), and Washington (IAD) — starting at 18,750 miles
On top of that, the Flying Blue Extra program was recently launched (the cost starts at €379 per year), which is essentially a paid membership program that offers extra perks. One of the perks of Flying Blue Extra is access to additional Promo Rewards, so eligible members receive access to the following extra Promo Rewards:
- Save 25% on Air France premium economy awards between Europe and Chicago (ORD), Mexico City (MEX), and Seattle (SEA) — starting at 30,000 miles
- Save 25% on Air France business class awards between Europe and Orlando (MCO) — starting at 45,000 miles
- Save 25% on KLM business class awards between Europe and Montreal (YUL) — starting at 45,000 miles
- Save 25% on Air France business class awards between Europe and Saint Martin (SXM) — starting at 63,750 miles
Note that those who belong to the Flying Blue Extra program can redeem these awards for themselves or others, as long as the miles come out of their account.
All of the lowest priced awards in the above markets through June 30, 2026, 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 sometimes available through Flying Blue.
With the latest Promo Rewards, you can save 25% to several destinations in the Americas. All members have access to discounted transatlantic economy redemptions, while Flying Blue Extra members have access to premium economy and business class redemptions as well. 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?
Does anyone here actually know, from experience maybe, whether flight redemptions reactivate the balance of miles for a further 24 months?
The T&Cs are extremely vague, and i don't want to find out if it's not so the hard way.
FlyingBlue is an underrated program. I’ve found outsized value with promotions like this for relatively affordable business class to Europe and Asia from N. America, connecting CDG/AMS. Personally, I prefer KL for the delft blue houses, and AF for food, wine. It’s also helpful that nearly all bank programs transfer to them.
I would’ve been all over this bonus in law school. Now as a V10 equity partner? I’ll stick with paying cash and not worrying about points. Thanks. Happy new year
Happy new year, bud. Hope the M&As treat you well this cycle.
My brother, who are you? And why do you insist on posting this nonsense?
Congratulations on your great success. When this passes, as all things do, I hope your life is not left pointless.
WOW! My BS Detector needle has gone off the dial !
