Air France-KLM Business Class, Up To 8 Seats

Since Citi launched a 25% transfer bonus to Flying Blue, I wanted to flag some dates that still have Flying Blue Promo Rewards available. It’s not a ton of space, but if you’re traveling this month or next month, there’s a decent bit!


If you’re trying to get to the Olympics last minute, this could be your ticket. If you’re not going to the Olympics, you might want to avoid Paris and connect to another European destination.

Flight Experience


For the best experience, you'll want to find Air France and KLM flights operated by aircraft with a 1-2-1 business class cabin layout. This will provide the most privacy and direct aisle access in addition to a lie-flat seat.


Personally, I prefer KLM’s crews, but many people prefer Air France’s catering.

Best Ways To Book


Flying Blue: Great Rates, Free Stopover, More Award Space

Flying Blue's saver award rate from the US to Europe of 50,000 miles one-way is great. However, the Promo Reward rate of 37,500 miles one-way is fantastic.


With Citi’s 25% transfer bonus, you’ll only need 30,000 ThankYou Points for a one-way ticket. That’s better than some economy award rates!


The fact that you can transfer points from Amex, Bilt, Capital One, Chase, and Citi make it easy to earn the miles necessary.

You can include a stopover on a one-way but you'll need to call to book. Connections on partners will generally increase the award rate.

How To Book


You can pick either Air France or KLM's site and run your search. I use Air France and the process works like this:

  1. Select "Book with miles"

  2. Select "Log in"

  3. Sign into your account

  4. Enter your origin/destination

  5. Enter your travel date(s)

  6. Enter the number of passengers

  7. Enter the class of service

  8. Run the search

  9. Select your flights

  10. Click through to book


Transfers to Flying Blue are generally instant so you don't usually need to worry about award space vanishing. You can call to hold award space or book a stopover. The US number is 800-375-8723.


Happy booking!
