December Flying Blue Promo Rewards
Over the past couple years, Flying Blue has become one of my favorite, and most used programs. Earlier in the year, FlyingBlue overhauled their award rates, dropping saver business class down to 50k between the US and Europe as a baseline, and even cheaper when specific routes are a part of their monthly Promo Rewards. Flying Blue hasn’t been featuring as many US based business class routes in recent months, but they are featuring multiple US/Canadian cities to Europe at just 15k each way. That’s a great deal especially if you’re flying the fam and looking for good rates for a group.
Let’s take a look at the November Flying Blue Promo Rewards!

Great uses of Air France/KLM Flying Blue Miles
Air France Business Class
There are many great uses, but in particular redeeming miles for Air France business class is a wonderful use. Normal rates begin at 53k miles – this is a super competitive rate, but keep in mind a couple hundred in taxes and fees will also apply
Virgin Atlantic Upper Class
Starting as low as 61,500 miles and a couple hundred in taxes and fees its a great way to fly on a super cool product and pay fewer taxes and fees than Virgin Atlantic would charge
KLM Business Class
KLM offers world class service and a great business class – keep your eye out for the planes that offer reverse herringbone 1-2-1 configuration ( primarily the 787-9 ). I’ve flown both it and the 777-300ER and they are world’s apart in comfort…make sure you find the 787-9
