Air France March Promo Awards: Up to 25% Off

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 monthly promotional awards can enhance the value of your points even further.
