Flying Blue’s August Promo Rewards Offer Big Savings on Fall and Winter Europe Trips

- Business Class Lounge at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport

Flying Blue is back with a limited-time offer: book business class to Europe from just 45,000 miles one-way — but only from selected U.S. gateways.

Flying Blue, the joint loyalty program of Air France and KLM, just dropped its August Promo Rewards, and for premium flyers, the highlight is clear: business class seats to Europe for only 45,000 miles one-way — a huge discount from typical award pricing.

This deal is part of Flying Blue’s monthly Promo Rewards campaign, which offers up to 25% off award tickets, and this month’s sweet spot is squarely on business class from the U.S. to Europe. As of now, flights from Washington Dulles (IAD) to Europe via Paris and Amsterdam are available at the promotional rate.

How to Book + Track Availability

Flying Blue is a transfer partner of Amex, Chase, Capital One, Citi, and Bilt, with most points transferring instantly — allowing you to grab award space the moment you find it.

To make things even easier, use Roame.travel — a powerful award search tool that helps you monitor availability across multiple programs. With a Roame Premium account, you can set up to 10 award alerts to track specific routes, dates, cabins, and airlines. It's the smartest way to stay ahead of limited-time offers like these Flying Blue promos and jump on business class deals the moment they appear.

Maximize Value with Positioning and Flexibility

If you're not based in IAD, consider using positioning flights (paid or award) to take advantage of the current availability. Booking one-way flights in and out of Europe also lets you customize your return city or extend your trip with an open-jaw itinerary.

Additionally, Flying Blue allows mixed cabin awards, so if you find one leg in business and the other in economy, it could still be a great value — though the 45K pricing applies only to full business class routes.
