Flying Blue is the loyalty program for two big European airlines, Air France and KLM. Each month, its Promo Rewards offer 25% off select award flights operated by Air France and KLM. These discounts can apply to economy, premium economy, or business class, depending on the route.
For September 2025, travelers can book flights from eight North American cities to Europe starting at just 18,750 miles each way in economy. The current booking window runs through the end of February 2026, allowing travelers to plan a trip (or two) up to six months in advance for a discounted rate.
Here's a look at the newest Flying Blue Promo Rewards and how to maximize them for cheap award travel.

Flying Blue Promo Rewards Routes for September 2025
Each month, Flying Blue discounts select economy, premium economy, and/or business class awards. For bookings in September 2025, the following North American cities are discounted:
Airport | Cabin | Discounted Price (Per-Way) |
---|---|---|
Washington, D.C. (IAD) | Premium Economy | 30,000 Flying Blue Miles |
Boston (BOS) | Economy | 18,750 Flying Blue Miles |
New York (JFK) | Economy | 18,750 Flying Blue Miles |
Chicago (ORD) | Economy | 18,750 Flying Blue Miles |
Houston (IAH) | Economy | 18,750 Flying Blue Miles |
Denver (DEN) | Economy | 18,750 Flying Blue Miles |
Las Vegas (LAS) | Economy | 18,750 Flying Blue Miles |
Los Angeles (LAX) | Economy | 18,750 Flying Blue Miles |
But if you head a bit farther south, there are a couple of additional Flying Blue Promo Rewards routes. This month, you can book business class awards from Bogota (BOG) starting at 63,750 miles, or economy class from Fort de France (FDF) starting at 22,500 miles. These are decent deals if you are willing to book a positioning flight to enjoy a longer transatlantic crossing.
New Flying Blue Promo Rewards Award Pricing
Flying Blue devalued its “starting at” prices in January 2025. Now, all routes start at 25,000 Flying Blue miles in economy, 40,000 in premium economy, or 60,000 in business class. That means a 25% discount reduces award rates between North America and Europe as low as:
- 18,750 miles each way in economy.
- 30,000 miles each way in premium economy.
- 45,000 miles each way in business class — or 63,750 miles if you fly from parts of the Caribbean, Central, and South America

Example Flying Blue Promo Rewards Awards
Throughout this month's booking window, availability is generally good for flights between North America and Europe, in all eligible classes. Here are some examples of the Flying Blue Promo Rewards you can book during September for travel through February of next year:
Economy between North America and Europe for 18,750 miles
Flying Blue's cheapest Promo Rewards from North America to Europe are a bargain. And there's plenty of availability, too, starting at 18,750 miles. For instance, here's what the Flying Blue award calendar shows as available between Los Angeles (LAX) and Amsterdam (AMS) this November:

If you want to fly further, you can do that too. Flying Blue will allow you to add a connection within Europe (and as far as Turkey) for no extra mileage cost. For example, you could fly an itinerary like Los Angeles (LAX) to Oslo (OSL), via Amsterdam for just 18,750 miles plus taxes and fees.

Premium economy between North America and Europe for 30,000 miles
If you’re not up for positioning to South America to enjoy business class, but don’t want to fly coach to Europe either, you’ve got a single solid premium economy options this month: Washington, D.C. From either gateway, you can fly to Europe from just 30,000 Flying Blue miles.
Availability isn't great, but you can still spot these awards if you look hard enough. For example, here’s a Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Paris (CDG) award you can book for just 30,000 miles plus taxes and fees:

Our Take
Flying Blue Promo Rewards offer a great opportunity to stretch your points and miles. The list of destinations available in September is fairly decent, and there's fantastic award availability throughout the rest of the year.
If this deal piques your interest, you can book discounted awards through February 28, 2026, as long as you make your reservation by September 30, 2025. Travel between North America and Europe is available most months for as low as 18,750 miles in economy. And it can cost even less if you're able to take advantage of an ongoing transfer bonus.
Since Flying Blue is a transfer partner of all major transferable points programs, you can redeem for discounted awards no matter which points you collect. If there's no Promo Reward available from your airport, Flying Blue still offers several sweet spots outside of these monthly discounts.
