Flying Blue is the combined points program of KLM and Air France. At the start of each month they discount select routes. This month, Houston long-haul economy flights to Amsterdam and Paris are about are -11,250 cheaper due to this discount. It’s a good idea to check the promo landing page at the start of each month to see if anything worthwhile pops up.

This time KLM has round-trip flights from Houston (IAH) to Amsterdam or Paris (AMS, CDG) for 30,000 to 33,750 points + $241 tax/fees, NONSTOP. Fare allows for carry-on bag and seat selection. Promotional ends 10/30/2023. Flights between October and March. Promo awards are refundable (with a €50 Euro fee) and changeable (with a €50 Euro fee + fare price difference).

  • Leave the departure date blank to pull up a fare calendar. If you enter in dates, it will give you only a week-long list of fares near the dates you selected.

Flying Blue is a points transfer partner with all the major point programs including Chase Ultimate Rewards and AMEX Membership Rewards®. If you don’t already have a card that allows for point transfers, you should probably get one to make use of these types of deals. The point transfer perk isn’t available on all cards.

  • AMEX Membership Rewards® point transfer partners are: Air France, KLM, Asia Airlines, British Airways, Delta, Emirates, Etihad, Finnair, Iberia, Qantas, SAS, Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, Radisson Rewards.
  • Chase Ultimate Rewards point transfer partners are: Air France, KLM, United, Southwest, jetBlue, British Airways, Iberia, Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Hyatt, and Marriott Bonvoy.

A few notes about this deal: The Flying Blue website isn’t very accurate with it’s point redemption details, sometimes I’ll see a date on the fare calendar, but when you pull up the details for that date, the discount isn’t there. It’s hit and miss. One way to speed up your search is by using the fare calendar. To pull up the fare calendar on your search, leave the Departure / Return dates blank.

One other thing I noticed when searching for these, is that the Awards Page on Air France / KLM is pretty buggy. You may need to open another browser window, switch to a different browser, go incognito, or do a search on a different device if gives you an error when returning results.

  • Tips: Use Tripadvisor to create a Hotel “short list”. First, plug in your dates and destination. Then select “Sort by Traveler Ranked”. Finally, select the “Traveler Ranking” filter to show “only 4* and up”. Use this resulting “short list” of hotels to find the cheapest one with a high ranking.
  • Tips: Hotel rates for Weekend dates are usually higher than the rates for Sunday through Thursday. Tripadvisor has a color-coded date calendar, red when the average hotel price for that day is more expensive, green for less expensive. You can use this to get an overview of what dates in the month are at a discount.
  • Tips: Different booking websites will often have differing routes, prices, and availability. Before you finalize your purchase, do a quick check on BookingBuddy, Skyscanner, and Kayak to see if any other site or airline is offering a better deal.
