Air France-KLM’s Flying Blue loyalty program has released its latest batch of Promo Rewards for September 2025, offering 25% discounts on award flights across select routes. This month’s promotion includes numerous options for both short-haul European travel and long-haul international flights, with discounted redemptions available for travel through February 28, 2026.
Let’s explore the details of this month’s offerings and analyze whether these discounted awards represent good value for your Flying Blue miles.
Flying Blue Promo Rewards are monthly promotional offers that provide discounted award tickets on select Air France and KLM routes. Typically offering 25% off standard award rates (though occasionally reaching 50% off), these promotions apply to the lowest saver-level award pricing within Flying Blue’s dynamic pricing system.
The current promotion is valid for bookings made between September 1 and September 30, 2025, for travel through February 28, 2026 – providing a generous six-month travel window.
This month’s Promo Rewards include several discounted short-haul routes within Europe, perfect for European residents planning regional travel or for North American travelers looking to add intra-European segments to their itineraries.
These short-haul awards represent solid value, especially for last-minute travel when cash fares tend to be higher. At just 7,500 miles for economy flights within Europe, these discounted awards can be an excellent use of Flying Blue miles for European travelers.
The September 2025 Promo Rewards also include numerous long-haul options, with a particular focus on routes between Europe and North America, though several African, Middle Eastern, and Asian destinations are also featured.
For context, Flying Blue’s standard saver award pricing for transatlantic flights between Europe and most of North America is:
For U.S.-based travelers, this month’s Promo Rewards offer several compelling options:
The 18,750-mile economy awards to multiple U.S. cities (Houston, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Boston) represent decent value, especially for peak travel periods when cash fares are high. While economy redemptions typically don’t deliver the same outsized value as premium cabin awards, these discounted rates can be worthwhile for travelers who:
The Washington D.C. to Europe route in Premium Economy for 30,000 miles offers a comfortable middle ground between economy and business class. This can be an excellent option for travelers who want additional comfort on transatlantic flights without the higher mileage requirements of business class.
While there are no business class Promo Rewards to major U.S. cities this month, the 63,750-mile business class awards to Bogota could be valuable for travelers planning to visit Colombia or using it as a gateway to South America. This represents a modest discount from the standard 85,000-mile business class award rate to South America.
European travelers have access to all the same long-haul options as U.S. travelers, plus the additional short-haul discounted routes within Europe.
The 7,500-mile economy awards within Europe can offer exceptional value, especially for:
The 63,750-mile business class awards to several African destinations (Douala, Lome, Conakry, and Nouakchott) could represent excellent value for European business travelers or those visiting friends and family in these regions. Business class to Africa typically commands high cash fares, making these discounted awards potentially valuable.
The 30,000-mile premium economy award to Washington D.C. is worth considering for European travelers looking for a comfortable way to visit the U.S. capital without splurging on business class.

The September 2025 Flying Blue Promo Rewards offer a solid opportunity to save miles on both short and long-haul travel through February 2026. While the discount is a modest 25% (compared to occasional 50% discounts we’ve seen in the past), the wide range of destinations and generous travel window make this promotion worth considering.
For U.S. travelers, the economy awards to Europe at 18,750 miles and the premium economy option to Washington D.C. at 30,000 miles represent the best values. European travelers have even more options, with attractive short-haul awards at just 7,500 miles and business class options to Africa and South America.
