Flying Blue January 2026 Deals

Additionally, as with all Flying Blue promotional rewards, you can only book a promotional reward ticket if you’re flying to/from Paris or Amsterdam, or you’re connecting through either city to your final destination.

Destination Roster

For January 2026, Flying Blue’s promotional deals span five continents: Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and Asia.

As usual, most of the deals available are short-haul flights between European cities and long-haul flights between North America and Europe. Additionally, there is a sprinkling of destinations located in Africa, Asia, and South America. Most notably, there are more west Asian destinations than usual.

Short-Haul & Medium-Haul Flights

Short-haul and medium-haul flights start at a price of 7,500 miles for Economy, discounted from the regular price of 10,000 miles by 25%. Additionally, there are promotional reward tickets available for Business Class on short-haul and medium-haul flights that start at 18,750 miles, discounted from the regular price of 25,000 miles. These destinations are:

• Paris (CDG) to Brest (BES)

• Paris (CDG/ORY) to Calvi (CLY)

• Amsterdam (AMS) to Oslo (OSL)

• Amsterdam (AMS) to Stockholm (ARN)

• Paris (CDG) to Vienna (VIE)

• Amsterdam (AMS) to London (LHR/LCY)

• Business: Paris (CDG) to Geneva (GVA)

• Business: Paris (CDG) to Copenhagen (CPH)

• Business: Amsterdam (AMS) to Porto (OPO)

• Business: Paris (CDG) to Budapest (BUD)

• Business: Amsterdam (AMS) to Turin (TRN)

Since it’s January and these deals are valid for flights through the month of June, you might find it perfect if you were looking to travel to Europe right as the busy summer season kicks in. For example, you could visit the beautiful lakes of Switzerland by flying to Geneva, or you could sunbathe at the pristine beaches of Corsica by flying to Calvi. You could also fly to Vienna and enjoy the city’s beautiful architecture and top-notch art museums.

Long-Haul Flights

While promotional reward tickets for short-haul and medium-haul flights are limited to just intra-European cities, you’ll find much more variety when it comes to long-haul flights. You can find deals when flying between Paris/Amsterdam and select cities in North America, Africa, South America, and Asia.

Additionally, while the promotions available for the short-haul and medium-haul flights are only available in Economy Class, some of the promotions for the long-haul flights are available in Business Class, allowing you to save miles on a premium and relaxing flying experience across thousands of miles.

Connecting flights from the destination within Europe, via either Paris or Amsterdam, are included in the promotional reward ticket. This means that you’ll be able to take advantage of the promotional reward tickets when flying to various European destinations; you’ll just most likely need to change flights in either Paris or Amsterdam.

With these long-haul destinations, you can easily get to Europe via multiple cities in North America. Notably, you can visit a multitude of destinations in Asia and Africa, such as Beijing, Singapore, Johannesburg, Mauritius, Hong Kong, and others.

One of the most valuable aspects of Flying Blue Promo Rewards is its consistency. Travelers can count on new deals launching on the first of each month, making it easy to plan ahead and even hold out for discounts on your preferred routes. Because the program regularly offers discounts on both economy and premium cabins, it appeals to a wide range of travelers, from budget-conscious travelers hopping between European cities to business travelers seeking a comfortable long-haul seat without spending thousands of dollars.

Another key benefit is flexibility. Flying Blue miles are easy to earn, as the program partners with all major transferable point currencies, including American Express, Chase, Capital One, and Citi.

Do note that award space can be limited, especially for popular long-haul flights in Business Class. If you see an itinerary that works for you, it’s best to book right away, as seats often disappear quickly. Since changes and cancellations may incur a fee, double-check your travel plans before finalizing your tickets.

Together, these factors make Flying Blue Promo Rewards one of the best ongoing deals in the world of airline loyalty, particularly if you’re based in or traveling through Europe and want to stretch your points further.

How to Book Promotional Reward Tickets

Flying Blue’s promotional reward tickets are only available via online bookings.

To book a promotional reward ticket, log in to your Flying Blue account via either the Air France website/app or the KLM website/app. Choose your designated origin and destination cities/airports, indicate that you want to book with miles, and see if you can find a flight priced at the promotional fare.

Since Flying Blue’s promotional reward tickets can only be booked online, this means that if you call Flying Blue to have an agent assist you with booking your flights, they won’t have the promotional fare available to book at the discounted price.

This presents some challenges. For example, when using your miles to book flights on Flying Blue, you can include a free stopover of 24 hours or more during a connection between two flights in either Paris or Amsterdam. You would only need to pay the fare to your final destination, rather than paying separately for a flight from Paris or Amsterdam to your next destination.

I’ve used the complimentary stopover feature before, and I was able to book a complimentary stopover in Paris for 5 days on my itinerary from Boston to Zurich. However, the caveat is that you can only book a complimentary stopover by contacting a Flying Blue agent via phone.

Therefore, if you want to book an itinerary with a complimentary stopover, you won’t have access to promotional reward tickets.

Final Remarks

Flying Blue’s Promo Rewards remain one of the most reliable and valuable monthly offers for travelers who collect points and miles. With routes spanning four continents and discounts reaching 25%, you can stretch your transferable points from credit cards further than ever.

Whether you’re planning a quick European getaway or a long-haul trip to North America or Asia, these promotions are a perfect way to save miles while flying comfortably. Please remember to book early, as award space for popular routes can become unavailable within hours of release.

If you miss a deal this month, don’t worry. Flying Blue updates its Promo Rewards on the first day of every month, so check back regularly to catch the next round of discounted destinations and maximize your travel value.
