Air France-KLM Flying Blue has launched its April 2026 promotional rewards campaign, offering significant discounts on award flights for travel through September 30, 2026. This monthly promotion provides Flying Blue members with opportunities to save up to 25% on required miles, with some routes historically offering discounts as high as 50%.
The promotional rewards must be booked by April 30, 2026, creating a limited-time window for members to secure discounted redemptions. These promotions represent one of Flying Blue’s most valuable member benefits, providing substantial savings on both short-haul European routes and long-haul international destinations.
Flying Blue’s promotional structure differs from many competitor programs by offering consistent monthly campaigns rather than sporadic sales, giving members regular opportunities to maximize the value of their miles.
The April promotional awards operate under specific conditions that members should understand before booking:
Members should use Flying Blue’s award calendar to check availability month by month, as promotional space can be sporadic and fills quickly on popular routes.
The April promotion features good coverage of European routes with consistent 25% discounts across destinations. These promotions make Flying Blue particularly attractive for European travel, offering competitive rates for both leisure and business travelers.
Additionally, there are a few Promo Rewards set aside exclusively for Flying Blue Extra subscription members.
The April promotion includes an impressive six business class options within Europe, providing premium travel experiences at reduced mileage costs. However, three of the business class Promo Rewards are available exclusively to Flying Blue Extra members (listed in the chart above), so you’ll need to be subscriber if you’d like to access these discounted rates.
For April, the intra-Europe business class promotions available to members without a Flying Blue Extra subscription include:
