Good morning from beautiful Guangzhou!

Iā€™m feeling the burn after five days of back-to-back flights, but nothing a little extra caffeine canā€™t fix.

Meme about not sleeping

Anyway, before my body forces me asleep, hereā€™s what Iā€™ve got for you:

šŸŒŽ Flying Blue Promo Rewards (December 2024)

Another month (holy crap, itā€™s already December) means another round of Flying Blue Promo Rewards!

Iā€™ve been on a BIG SkyTeam kick lately as youā€™ve seen, and this just makes it even better.

As you probably know by now, every month, Flying Blue (the joint loyalty program of KLM and Air France) releases discounted award flights for a handful of different routes.

And the discounts are goooodā€¦ like 15,000 miles good šŸ˜˜

But per usual, youā€™ll need to make your booking by December 31, 2024, for travel valid until May 31, 2025, to get in on these deals.

This month, Flying Blue is featuring a few routes to/from North America over to Europe starting at that sweet 15,000-mile mark:

Flying Blue promo routes

You Canadian folk will be pleased to see Montreal and Toronto on there. And New York is pretty much a given.

But Portland, Oregon, for 15,000 miles?? West Coast peeps rejoice! šŸ™Œ

Flying Blue is also featuring all sorts of other destinations like Europe to Osaka and even to Beijing for just 18,750 miles.

There are even more destinations than whatā€™s shown here.

Thankfully, you can also transfer points from all major banks, which is why Flying Blue is one of the best and easiest programs to work with šŸ™‚

Sometimes, those banks even offer transfer bonusesā€¦. Oh, would you look at that! Thereā€™s one right now! šŸ‘‡

āœˆļø 20% transfer bonus toā€¦ guess who?

Thatā€™s right, folks! The same day those Promo Rewards dropped, a hot 20% transfer bonus from UR Points to Flying Blue dropped, too.

20% transfer bonus from UR Points to Flying Blue

20% might not sound like a lot, but when you pair it with those Promo Rewards above, it is fantastic.

For example, those 15,000-mile flights to Europe become just 12,500 UR Points with the bonusā€¦

Example of a Promo Reward from Portland to Paris for 15,000 Flying Blue miles

The 18,750-mile flights to Asia become just 16,000 UR Points.

But you donā€™t need to sit for 8-12 hours in economy to get value from Flying Blue miles or the transfer bonus.

For example, you can book domestic flights on Delta for just 8,500 Flying Blue miles.

DTW-ATL on Delta for 8,500 Flying Blue miles

With this bonus, thatā€™s just 7,000 UR Points to fly around the U.S. on Delta.

Personally, Iā€™m eyeing some other cool flights, like this one from Jakarta to Seoul next month.

Jakarta to Seoul for 18,500 Flying Blue miles

18,500 miles for seven hours on Garuda is already a great deal, but knocking 20% off of the price makes it a FANTASTIC deal.

You could even book a flight from New York City to Buenos Aires on Delta for just 38,000 Flying Blue miles.

JFK-EZE for 38,000 Flying Blue miles on Delta

With this bonus, thatā€™s just 32,000 UR Points for an 11-hour flight.

If you booked the same flight on the same day through Delta, youā€™d have to pay 60,000 SkyMiles (or 51,000 with the cardholder discount).

The same flight booked with Delta miles would cost almost double the price

So hereā€™s the bottom line:

Promo Rewards are freaking awesome. Flying to Europe for 12,500 points is awesomeā€¦

But Flying Blue miles are far more valuable than you think, whether thatā€™s for flying to Europe, staying at home in the U.S., traveling around East Asia, or even South America.

If you donā€™t have any UR Points, apply for a card like this one to start racking them up.

Well, thatā€™s gonna do it for this week, kiddos.

It was really a jam-packed week, so I hope many of you have learned a thing or two and were able to hop on these excellent travel deals.

For now, have a great weekend, and Iā€™ll see you bright and early on Monday.

Cheers,
