The Air France KLM Flying Blue promo rewards for June 2026 have launched with 25% off economy class awards between a number of US cities and Europe. That means economy class tickets will start at 18,750 miles each way in economy class between many US cities and Europe for awards booked by June 30th for travel through November 30th, 2026. As always, availability will vary, but if you find availability that meets your needs, you can sometimes score a decent deal.

Quick Thoughts
All but one of the participating routes between the United States and Europe are only discounted in economy class this time around, which continues a long trend of mostly discounting economy class tickets during these promo reward sales. Las Vegas gets a nod with premium economy starting from 30,000 miles each way. The only routes with discounted business class availability between the Americas and Europe are Toronto, Panama City, St. Martin, and Bogota (there are also a couple of premium economy destinations for those who can position outside of the United States).
While 18,750 miles one way for economy class to Europe sounds like a pretty good deal (and it can be in the right situation), keep in mind that Air France KLM Flying Blue has increased award surcharges in recent months. The quality of the deal depends very much on the prices between your home airport and Europe. In some cases, you could be getting a phenomenal deal, and in other cases, it might be more marginal, particularly for departures from East Coast cities like New York and Boston that frequently have more competitive airfares to Europe. If you’re able to pair this with a good point transfer bonus, then the deal can become slicker yet. Note that we sometimes see a little bit of variance in Flying Blue award pricing, though I think they’ve eliminated most of the opportunities to pay even less than the advertised price. Still, it can be worth checking even if your city isn’t on the list, as we do sometimes see additional routes pricing favorably.
Keep in mind that promo rewards are subject to the same 70 EUR change and cancellation penalty as other Flying Blue award tickets, so there isn’t a significant disadvantage to booking one of these over an ordinary award. You’re simply able to lock in a bit of a discount over the more typical saver-level economy class award pricing of 25,000 miles each way. You can even potentially book a stopover on one of these discounted economy class awards, though stopovers need to be booked over the phone with customer service.
You might be able to stack the opportunity to earn 20,000 Amex Membership Rewards points if your taxes and fees amount to $1,000 or more, and you book directly through the Air France or KLM websites or apps (though not if you’re booking a stopover over the phone). Read more about that targeted Amex offer in this post, and remember that enrollment is required.
With numerous programs instituting devaluations over the last year or two, this can be one of the cheapest mileage deals to Europe, apart from Virgin Atlantic’s pricing for both some of their own flights and Air France KLM flights.
Speaking of that, if you’re traveling during off-peak times, it certainly can be worth taking a look at Virgin Atlantic because they do charge fewer miles and in some cases, maybe less in surcharges. Particularly if you see a transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic, you might get a significantly better deal booking the same flights through Virgin Atlantic, even after considering the promo reward pricing. That won’t be the case in all situations, so you’ll just have to use an award search tool or take the time to search for your desired dates and routes to see which program offers the deal you need.
