Flying Blue is the frequent flyer program for Air France, KLM, Transavia, Air Calin, Kenya Airways, and TAROM. Members can earn or buy miles and redeem them on an extensive network of over 30 partner airlines in North America, including Delta and WestJet. This month’s Flying Blue Promo Rewards feature a single North American city for discounted business class flights, but there are quite a few cities featured when it comes to economy class.

Flying Blue also offers “Extra Exclusive” cities, where more cities are available on Promo Reward, but only for Flying Blue Extra subscribers (see below). Here are the North American gateways available:

  • Ottawa to/from EU: 25% off Air France Economy Class – from 18,750 miles one-way

The complete list of destinations available on Promo Rewards is available on the Flying Blue website.

Flying Blue Subscribe to Miles

Flying Blue offers a subscription program, “Subscribe to Miles,” that allows members to purchase miles at a favourable rate monthly. The program includes four subscription tiers:

  • Starter: 2,000 miles for $34.20 USD per month
  • Smart: 5,000 miles for $79 USD per month
  • Advanced: 10,000 miles for $146 USD per month
  • Complete: 17,000 miles for $227.80 USD per month

At the highest level (Complete), the cost per mile comes down to 1.34 cents per mile, which is much better than the typical rate in “Buy Miles” promotions (1.6-1.8 cents per mile). A key advantage of the subscription program is that the first installment of miles posts to your account almost instantly after subscribing, enabling immediate redemptions. Additionally, members can cancel their subscriptions at any time, even before the second installment is due.

Flying Blue – Subscribe to Miles

The subscription program creates a low-cost opportunity, even for someone starting with a zero Flying Blue balance, to take advantage of the April Promo Rewards. By subscribing to the Complete tier, a member can purchase 17,000 miles for $227.80 USD. With Promo Rewards offering discounted tickets for as low as 18,750 miles one-way in Economy Class, this subscription effectively unlocks award travel from North America to Europe at an exceptionally low cost.

By combining Flying Blue Promo Rewards with Subscribe to Miles, members can unlock significant savings compared to cash fares or other redemption opportunities to Europe from North America. Happy booking!
