The newest set of
Air France KLM's Promo Rewards are now listed on Air France's website however they won't be bookable until 6pm ET time tonight! With promo
awards the
discount
ranges from 20 to 50%
off the regular amount of miles required to redeem for these flights. As
you can see just by the
discount this can be a very good offer if you get 50% off for Business
Class!
This month all of the Canadian cities are at 25% off for Business Class. Those cities are Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto. Even at 25% off this is a pretty good deal considering May and June are great times to visit Europe before the major summer rush!

Here are the mileage requirements for flying from Canada to Amsterdam and/or Paris (the mileage amount will vary for other
cities in Europe)
As we mentioned above you can't book these just yet which also means we
can't provide you with snap shots of availability like we usually do
(we'll have a follow up post for that) You'll have to wait
until about 6pm tonight to see availability on the routes and to book
them. The mileage amounts required will vary by the location you want to
fly to, for example you can usually fly to Brussels, Milan, Athens and
other cities for even less than what is listed above for Amsterdam or
Paris.
If you don't have enough miles for a Promo Reward your best bet
is to convert
Marriott Rewards points to
Flying Blue on a 3:1 basis. Remember you'll earn 5,000 bonus miles when
you convert 60,000 points at a time (a total of 25,000 miles per 60,000
points) That means 120,000 points will get you to 50,000 miles which is
enough to cover a one way flight between Canada and Europe in Business
Class!
If you don't have any Marriott Rewards Points you
can always look at getting the
Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card to top off your account. Currently
the card
comes with a 60,000 point sign up bonus when you spend $1,500 on the card and then you could
also grab the
Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card as it also has 60,000 point sign up bonus. You
would then ultimately be able to have 120,000 points (50,000 miles) not
including what points are earned on spending.
Of course timing of
getting the card(s) now, spending and getting the points will likely not
happen for this month but it sets you up for future offers. Need to
grab two tickets for an itinerary? You could choose to
get one Marriott card for yourself and one for your partner or spouse and you'll have a lot more points!
