Air France / KLM Flying Blue is out with its April 2024 Promo Rewards. This month’s list covers bookings made in April for travel through September 30th, 2024. Since this covers the peak summer travel period (in an Olympic year when Paris is hosting!), it is not surprising to see that there are no deals on business class awards, but nonetheless economy class travelers form the US can score a few deals.

Quick Thoughts

This list won’t be exciting for those primarily interested in using their miles to fly in premium cabins, though it certainly might come in handy for those trying to plan a summertime trip to Europe late in the game. I would expect availability to be tight around the Olympics, though I’ve personally booked a couple of flights to/from Europe recently for travel during Olympic dates (though, unfortunately, not for the Olympics this year, though attending the Olympic games is an absolute bucket list item for me!).

Availability isn’t wide open here, but I did find dates to Europe even during peak summer Olympics time on KLM.

Washington, DC to Budapest for 15K miles one way.
Chicago to Nice, France on the same day (July 30th, which is during the Olympics, for 15K).

These deals get even better with a transfer bonus, like the 25% transfer bonus that we wrote about earlier today. If you’re able to take advantage of a 25% transfer bonus, you’d need to transfer just 12K miles per passenger in each direction. You’re still on the hook for taxes & carrier-imposed surcharges, but that can still be quite a reasonable deal.

I just booked two one-ways for my family to go to Turkey, but the Olympics are never on my radar, and I remembered after-the-fact. Getting from ATL to IST was very straightforward, but there’s zero Promo Reward availability from IST through to the USA in August, and I’ll have to position closer to Eastern Europe to find a connecting flight back home.

Nick, what does your gut tell you about the likelihood that WF will offer FB transfer bonuses in line with Amex, Chase, Citi, etc.? Thanks.

Lee

Thank you, sir.
