Punctual as always again this month came the monthly offers of the Flying Blue program. For those who don't know. the frequent flyer of Air France and KLM, every first of the month, they launch some discounts (up to 50%) on short/medium and long-haul destinations bookable using points.
The rules of bidding
In this article:
Unfortunately, the program does not specify which cabins are on offer, only the discount on the route with the cheapest price, which of course is always economy. So as we have had the opportunity to report, if you look hard enough tickets pop up that allow you to fly in business at the Caribbean with less than 35k points or to Papetee at less than 45k.
The rules are simple: you must book by November 30 to fly from now until April 30, 2023.
All destinations on offer are shown on the dedicated page to the Franco-Dutch loyalty program.
November destinations
Compared to recent months, the presence of Tokyo as a reachable destination, from Italy from 26,625 FB points, is interesting.
Instead, the sale of economy seats to New York continues at the crazy 11,250 mark, while other destinations also in the U.S. such as Miami, Houston and Washington can always be reached using less than 20k points. Los Angeles costs slightly more 20,250 FB.
Of course, these prices are one-way, there is no surcharge for one-way tickets, and taxes must be added. However, the surcharges are not as exorbitant as in the past and the fuel surcharge does not apply to economy tickets (and this is a great thing).
How to accumulate FB points in Italy
As mentioned there are the promotions and partnerships with Accor, Limolane and Land of Fashion, but mainly the best way is to fly. You can accumulate points not only by flying KLM and AF, but also with all the other Skyteam partners. Right now there is also A bonus of 100% if you decide to buy FB points.
Without flying and without spending anything, you can convert Membership Rewards points to FB points, points accumulate with all American Express cards for free: you earn one MR point Every euro spent with the card. If you are not yet a cardholder, I recommend that you start by With American Express Gold which is free the first year and also offers a discount voucher to new holders.
Then there is a corporate credit card which allows you to accumulate up to 1.5 FB points for every euro spent. His name is Mooncard And, if you aim to maximize collection in the French/Dutch program, No other product guarantees these levels of accumulation.
In conclusion
Flying Blue monthly offerings are very interesting and have become even more so since the covid. One has one month to buy and 6 months in total to fly. Of course, not on all routes and often they are the same, but every month there are a couple of new things: this month for example Tokyo was added, in the first spring post covid it could be a very desirable destination and it is nice that it is among the tickets on offer.
Of course, first come, first served.
