Travelers looking to stretch their miles in 2026 have one more reason to pay attention: Air France–KLM's Flying Blue loyalty program just dropped its latest Promo Rewards, offering 25% discounts on select award tickets for flights across Europe and the Americas.

This flash sale opens up much more reasonable mileage redemptions on shorthaul and longhaul flights alike, with availability stretching well into the middle of the year. Many of the best deals have been in economy class, but there are some eye-catching opportunities in premium economy and business class too-particularly for those signed up to the Flying Blue Extra program.

Here is a comprehensive guide to what Flying Blue Promo Rewards are, which routes are on discount for January 2026, and how you can earn the miles that will allow you to take advantage of this deal.

Flying Blue Promo Rewards Explained

These promotions apply exclusively to:

With Flying Blue using dynamic award pricing, Promo Rewards represent a very good value, especially on routes that see ample saver-level availability.

Among travelers who frequently redeem miles for international flights, Flying Blue has become a favorite program in part due to the following:

Expanded European connectivity

One of the biggest values of Flying Blue awards is that they're not limited to only Paris or Amsterdam: Promo Rewards pricing applies to connecting itineraries across Europe, which greatly extends your onward flying beyond the primary European hubs.

For example, a special offer flight to Paris could further link to the following cities:

• Rome
• Barcelona
• Vienna
• Prague

Promo Rewards pricing should apply to the complete itinerary provided that saver availability exists.

Promo reward availability: how to find it.

• If you're having trouble finding discounted awards, a few strategies can help:
• Use Flying Blue's calendar by month to find the low-mileage dates:
• Be flexible about your European and North American departure cities.
• Check one-way tickets instead of round trips for better availability.
• Book early, as Promo Rewards seats may go quickly.

What families should also know is that there is an additional 25% discount for children between 2–12 years old on Flying Blue award tickets, including Promo Rewards.
