Flying Blue Promo Rewards March 2026: Save Up to 25% on Award Flights

It’s the first day of a new month, so you know what that means: It’s time for new promotional deals with Air France’s and KLM’s rewards program: Flying Blue.

If you’re planning to travel to and from Europe anytime within the next few months, you might find it useful to take advantage of these deals, as you can save tens of thousands of points on what you would normally spend for the same route.

On the first day of every month, Flying Blue releases promotional reward tickets for select destinations, allowing you to save up to 25% of your miles when redeeming an award ticket for one of the destinations with a running promotion.

Flying Blue’s promotional deals for March are only available for booking through the month of March 2026, and the deals are valid for select dates and destinations until August 31, 2026.

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.

What Are Flying Blue Promo Rewards?

Flying Blue Promo Rewards is a monthly discount program from Air France-KLM that lets you book award flights for 25% fewer miles than standard pricing. Each month, Flying Blue releases a new batch of discounted routes across their network, covering both economy and business class options on Air France and KLM flights.

The program works on a rotating schedule. Flying Blue typically announces new promo rewards routes at the start of each month, with specific travel windows that vary by promotion. You'll need to act quickly because the best routes often get snatched up within days of release.

These deals work best for flexible travelers who can plan trips around the discounted routes instead of booking specific destinations. If you're sitting on a pile of transferable points or already have Flying Blue miles in your account, promo rewards can stretch your miles 25% further than regular award bookings.

March 2026 Promo Rewards Routes and Pricing

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 Bordeaux (BOD)
• Paris (CDG/ORY) to Nice (NCE)
• Amsterdam (AMS) to Southampton (SOU)
• Amsterdam (AMS) to Prague (PRG)
• Paris (CDG/ORY) to Calvi (CLY)
• Paris (CDG) to Copenhagen (CPH)
• Amsterdam (AMS) to Oslo (OSL)
• Business: Paris (CDG/ORY) to Marseille (MRS)
• Business: Paris (CDG) to Manchester (MAN)
• Business: Amsterdam (AMS) to Rennes (RNS)
• Business: Paris (CDG) to Venice (VCE)
• Business: Paris (CDG) to Zurich (ZRH)
• Business: Amsterdam (AMS) to Turin (TRN)
• Business: Amsterdam (AMS) to Valencia (VLC)
• Business: Amsterdam (AMS) to Ljubljana (LJU)

Since it’s March and these deals are valid for flights through August, all of these deals cover the prime time for traveling during the summer holiday. For example, you could bask in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea on the island of Corsica by flying to Calvi, or you could find yourself lost in the beautiful nature of the Swiss Alps by flying to Zurich.

Long-Haul Flights

While most 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 most of 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 several Canadian cities, such as Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal. If you’re looking for a tropical escape, you can also head to the Caribbean by going to Aruba or Bonaire, or the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean by flying to Mauritius.

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 Earn Flying Blue Miles with Credit Card Transfers

Flying Blue miles are easiest to earn through credit card transfer partners. Seven programs transfer to Flying Blue at 1:1 ratios: American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou Points, Bilt Rewards, Wells Fargo Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy.

Transfer times are near-instant with most programs, letting you book promo rewards within minutes of transferring points.

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.

Changes, Cancellations, and Award Ticket Flexibility

Flying Blue charges €70 per passenger to change or cancel award tickets, including Promo Rewards bookings. You can modify dates, routes, or passenger names through the Flying Blue website or mobile app up until departure, if award space exists on your new preferred flight.

Canceled awards refund miles to your account minus the €70 fee per ticket. Taxes and carrier surcharges partially refund depending on timing. Cancel at least 72 hours before departure to receive the maximum tax refund.

Changes to Promo Rewards bookings don't preserve the discounted mileage rate. If you rebook to a different date or route, you'll pay the current award price, which could be standard pricing or a different month's promo rate.

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 Africa, 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.
