The Air France-KLM Flying Blue program has just published a new Promo Rewards list for April 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. One destination is even available in business class, which is awesome!

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 April 2026 Promo Rewards, valid for bookings between April 1 and April 30, 2026. Most of these Promo Rewards have long travel windows, and can be used for flights all the way through September 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 Detroit (DTW), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), and New York (JFK) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on KLM economy awards between Europe and Atlanta (ATL), Austin (AUS), Boston (BOS), New York (JFK), and San Diego (SAN) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on KLM business class awards between Europe and Portland (PDX) — starting at 45,000 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 availability this time around:
- Save 25% on Air France economy awards between Europe and Orlando (MCO), Ottawa (YOW), and San Francisco (SFO) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on KLM economy awards between Europe and Las Vegas (LAS) — starting at 18,750 miles
- Save 25% on Air France business class awards between Europe and St. Martin (SXM) — starting at 63,750 miles
- Save 25% on KLM business class awards between Europe and Bogota (BOG), Cartagena (CTG), and Paramaribo (PBM) — 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 September 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 members 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 select discounted transatlantic awards in economy and business class, and then 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?
I had a pop-up survey from Flying Blue the other day where I told them how unusable and fundamentally broken their award flight search is. I'm sure that will fix it, LOL!
I was able to book two round trips for a trip I have originating from MIA to CDG for a few days, then CDG to SIN for 3 weeks. I got 25K going MIA to CDG and returning in November Premium for 40K. For CDG to SIN and was able to get 112K for Business and returning in Premium for 50K so I was very happy to get this value for my Flying Blue miles.
Does anyone know where in Europe the 45k business flights are? I just checked POR to AMS and best is 60k in November and December.
Ben, no mention of the latest fuel surcharge hike? I think a dedicated blog to cover them across the board would be helpful (I read Cathay and possibly a few others have as well).
FlyingBlue does have some sweet spots. If you find a Business Class transatlantic for 80K one-way, consider that a real deal! If it’s on AF, you get better food and wine; if it’s on KL, it’s reliable and you get a Delft Blue house! (AMS? That place is a total Schiphol!)
I see what you did there ;)
"On top of that, the Flying Blue Extra program was recently launched (the cost starts at €379 per year)" - you may want to call out that for Amex Platinium AFKL Card Holder (at least in France and I suspect in the Netherlands too - not sure in the US) - this comes for free.
The "secret calendar" is a joke. Often shows 60,000 miles for Business Class all month, but clicking on specific dates with that amount shown goes to 400,000 miles or more.
Nothing out of Portland, all summer.
Agreed - there are often glitches with their award calendar.
It works fine with Ottawa though
How do you know it works fine with Ottawa? If the calendar says there is one day during the month where one ticket is available for 60K miles, did you check the other 29 days to see if the 315K miles is accurate?
