The Air France KLM Flying Blue loyalty program is well-known for its monthly rotating series of Promo Rewards, which offer 25–50% discounts on short-haul and long-haul redemptions on Air France and KLM flights.
The program has just released its Promo Rewards for December 2023, and there are offers to destinations across North America in economy, premium economy, and business class, including to four cities in Canada.
If you’re looking for an affordable way to get to Europe between now and the end of May 2024, be sure to take a look at the Promo Rewards this month, especially since Flying Blue recently adjusted award pricing in a favourable manner.
What Are Flying Blue Promo Rewards?
Promo Rewards are a major perk to being a member of Air France KLM Flying Blue. Promo Rewards are released monthly and offer 25–50% off in select markets on Air France & KLM flights in various classes of service.
This month’s list of long-haul KLM Promo Rewards includes:
- 25% discount on KLM business class awards between Europe and Toronto
- 25% discount on KLM premium economy awards between Europe and Beijing
- 25% discount on KLM premium economy awards between Europe and Mexico City
- 25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Boston
- 25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Montreal
- 25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Washington DC
- 25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Osaka
This month’s long-haul Air France Promo Rewards include:
- 25% discount on Air France premium economy awards between Europe and Cayenne
- 25% discount on Air France premium economy awards between Europe and Chennai/Madras
- 25% discount on Air France premium economy awards between Europe and Ottawa
- 25% discount on Air France economy awards between Europe and Cairo
- 25% discount on Air France economy awards between Europe and Osaka
- 25% discount on Air France economy awards between Europe and Vancouver
In addition to the 13 long-haul Promo Rewards, there are ten short-haul Promo Rewards available for intra-European travel.
Air France KLM Flying Blue recently harmonized standard award pricing, which means that the minimum price you’ll pay for flights from North America to Europe is the same whether you fly from Boston or Vancouver.
- Economy: starting at 20,000 miles (15,000 miles with a 25% Promo Reward)
- Premium economy: starting at 30,000 miles (26,250 miles with a 25% Promo Reward)
- Business class: starting at 50,000 miles (37,500 miles with a 25% Promo Reward)
If you’re based in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, or Vancouver, this is a great opportunity to score a deal on flights to or from Europe in various classes of service.
For example, you can fly from Toronto to Europe for as few as 37,500 Flying Blue miles in business class. This is an outstanding price for business class flights to Europe, even with the moderate amount of taxes and fees.
It’s a similar story to fly between Europe and Montreal in economy, which prices out at 15,000 Flying Blue miles at the lowest level.
From Ottawa, you can fly to Europe in premium economy for 26,250 miles.
Or, a long-haul flight from Vancouver to Europe costs as little as 15,000 miles in economy, which is a great deal.
Promo Reward tickets are available for one-way and round-trip flights, allowing for flexibility in your travel plans. Promo Reward discounts are only applicable on the lowest standard award pricing when available, and not on dynamically priced flight segments.
Keep in mind that Flying Blue Promo Rewards come with a booking deadline. You must book the December 2023 Promo Rewards during the month of December; however, the travel window extends all the way through May 31, 2024.
Lastly, it’s important to note that Promo Reward tickets typically can’t be changed, cancelled, or refunded.

Conclusion
With rotating 25–50% discounts across its route network, Air France KLM Flying Blue’s monthly Promo Rewards can be a great way to save miles if you’re planning a trip to, from, or through Europe.
This month, there are great deals on economy, premium economy, and business class flights to Europe from cities across North America.
If you’re based in other Canadian cities served by Air France and KLM, such as Calgary, Edmonton, or Quebec City, then hopefully it won’t be long until we see some Promo Rewards to your home city.
Unfortunately, the announced discount on business flights between Toronto and Europe are nowhere to be found. The lowest available for Toronto and any European destination is 50000 instead of the announced 37500.
The pricing has been updated now, and you should be able to find flights for 37,500 points throughout the schedule.
Thank you, T.J.!
I was just going to post an update! It took me a few emails of back and forth to explain to our friends at Flying Blue that there actually was an issue. I don’t know if it was these emails that made the difference, but I am glad to see that the prices have been updated!
Thanks again!
