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 February 2023, and there are offers to destinations in the United States, the Caribbean, South America, and countries in Africa. Unfortunately, there aren’t any Promo Rewards for business class this time around.
Let’s take a look at what opportunities are available this month.
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 on a monthly basis and offer 25–50% off in select markets on Air France & KLM flights in various classes of service.
This month’s long-haul Promo Rewards include:
25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Aruba
25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Austin
25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Bamako, Mali
25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Bogota
25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Cape Town
25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Chicago
25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and Houston
25% discount on KLM economy awards between Europe and San Francisco
25% discount on Air France economy awards between Europe and Boston
25% discount on Air France economy awards between Europe and Cayenne, French Guiana
25% discount on Air France economy awards between Europe and Lagos
25% discount on Air France economy awards between Europe and Johannesburg
25% discount on Air France economy awards between Europe and Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe
In addition to the 13 long-haul Promo Rewards, there are 12 short-haul Promo Rewards available for intra-European travel.
This is one of the largest lists of Promo Rewards we’ve seen to date, and it covers a range of continents. Unfortunately, none of the Promo Rewards offer discounts for business class this time around, nor are there any destinations in Canada.
However, there are some intriguing options for travel in economy to far-flung destinations, which could be of interest to anyone looking to nest a trip to another continent when visiting Europe or for travellers based in Europe to score a deal to somewhere far away.
For travellers based in the United States or Canada, you can score cheap flights from Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, and San Francisco to Europe in economy class for just 11,250–15,000 Flying Blue miles.
Indeed, you won’t find a much cheaper way to get across the Atlantic than what you can find with this month’s Promo Rewards. If you have a trip to Europe planned in the next few months, be sure to secure your seats soon if you can access any of these hubs.
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 February 2023 Promo Rewards during the month of February; however, the travel window extends all the way through July 31, 2023.
Lastly, it’s important to note that Promo Reward tickets typically cannot be changed, cancelled, or refunded.

Conclusion

If you’re looking to save on economy class flights from US hubs to Europe over the winter, spring, and even into summer, you’ll certainly want to take advantage of this month’s Promo Rewards.
If you’re based in Canadian cities served by Air France and KLM, such as Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, or Quebec City, then hopefully it won’t be long until we see some Promo Rewards to your home city.
