I’ve written about Air France/KLM Flying Blue Promo Awards in the past and though the program has become stingier in allocating Promo Award routes, each promotion cycle usually has at least a couple deals worthy of consideration. This fall, Flying Blue is offering 50% off economy class redemptions between Dallas and Europe and 50% off business class redemptions between Montreal and Europe.
Remember that Air France classifies Israel as Europe, so you can get all the way to Israel for 62,500 miles r/t in business class from Montreal or 25,000 miles r/t in economy class from Dallas. Availability is decent–
Dallas to Tel Aviv –
Montreal to Paris –
Flying Blue does impose fuel surcharges, but economy class fuel surcharges are moderate (about $225 r/t) and worthwhile, I would argue, for 25K r/t to anywhere in Europe. Business class fuel surcharges usulaly run between $650-750 per r/t ticket. At 62,500 r/t for business, that too is an acceptable price.
