The Air France / KLM FlyingBlue award program published the latest Promo Awards for March 2024. While there are several interesting destinations, for the second straight month, there are no published long-haul Business Class Promo Awards.

What Are FlyingBlue Promo Awards

FlyingBlue Promo Awards occur every month and offer a 25% discount on select award routes operated by Air France and KLM. The in-scope routes and discounts are published on the first business day each month. However, the awards often only go live the day after. While the discounts primarily focus on Economy Class, there are often discounts for Business Class as well. The destinations and routes change every month.

Here are the booking guidelines for March 2024:

• Valid for bookings made between March 1st, 2024 and March 31st, 2024.
• Valid on flights operating between March 1st, 2024 and August 31st, 2024.
• Discount only applies to the Saver Award rate.
• 25% discount for children ages 2-11 is in addition to the Promo Awards.

Final Thoughts

While the March 2024 FlyingBlue Promo Awards include some interesting options, the second straight month of no Business Class options between North America and Europe is disappointing. However, there are some intriguing Premium Economy options both to the United States as well as to other International destinations (i.e. Mauritius). Hopefully in the April 2024 FlyingBlue Promo Awards, the program will include the new Phoenix (PHX) to Paris (CDG) route; similar to when the Raleigh-Durham to Paris route launched in 2023.

Note: FlyingBlue often has “unadvertised” Promo Award flights, especially for Business Class. Check back periodically for updates.
