Flying Blue January Promo Awards: Up to 25% Off
By John Ta - January 2, 2024
Air France traditionally runs a promotion every month offering 25-50% off short and long haul award flights around the world.
We rank Flying Blue among the highest-value redemptions for your points, especially for long-haul business class redemptions. Despite its dynamic pricing, Flying Blue was one of the rare programs that announced in 2023 that it was making its business class award redemptions cheaper.
These promotional awards can enhance the value of your points even further and are applicable only to saver award pricing.
January's Flying Blue Promo Awards
Flying Blue has announced its January 2024 Promo Rewards, valid for bookings made between January 1, 2024 and January 31, 2024 on flights through June 30, 2024. Here are the major long-haul rewards available with their promotional pricing:

Some of these are quite good. Paris to Shanghai, a ~12 hour flight runs about $500 roundtrip with stops and $1,000 nonstop. For only 18,750 points one way in Economy, this is certainly worth considering.
