What are Flying Blue Promo Rewards?
Promo Rewards are monthly, limited-time award discounts offered through Flying Blue (Air France–KLM’s loyalty program). In most months, the discount is 25% off the lowest “starting at” award level on specific routes and cabins.
A few key things to know before you plan around them:
- Promo Rewards apply only when you can find the saver/lowest mileage level on the eligible routes.
- Taxes and carrier-imposed surcharges still apply (the mileage discount doesn’t reduce fees).
- You can book one-way or round-trip, and the discounted rate generally works in either direction (Canada → Europe and Europe → Canada) when the route is on the list.
- Availability can be excellent on some dates and nonexistent on others, so flexibility matters more than ever.

February 2026 Promo Rewards from Canadian airports
This post only covers departures from Canadian airports. For February 2026, the Canada-relevant Promo Rewards are:
- Montreal (YUL) ↔ Europe (Economy): from 18,750 Flying Blue miles one-way (available to all Flying Blue members).
- Toronto (YYZ) ↔ Europe (Economy): from 18,750 Flying Blue miles one-way, but it’s marked Extra Exclusive (only bookable if you subscribe to Flying Blue Extra, which costs 379 Euros per year).
In practice, these itineraries are most commonly built around Air France/KLM’s hubs (Paris and/or Amsterdam), with onward connections across Europe available depending on routing and award pricing that shows for your dates.

Montreal ↔ Amsterdam at 18,750 miles
Dates are very similar for Montreal ↔ Amsterdam (YUL ↔ AMS) at 18,750 miles in economy as well. If Paris dates don’t work for you, try searching Amsterdam on the same date ranges above.
Tip: If you’re heading to another European city, try searching your destination directly (not just Paris/Amsterdam). Sometimes Flying Blue will price the whole itinerary at the promo level if the long-haul segment is available at 18,750 miles, but it varies by date and routing.
Should you subscribe to Flying Blue Extra just for Toronto?
Flying Blue Extra is a paid subscription that unlocks a set of “Extra Exclusive” Promo Rewards (and other benefits). In February 2026, Toronto’s discounted route is in that bucket.
Whether it’s worth it depends on how often you’ll actually use it:
- If you’re only trying to book a single discounted economy round-trip for one person, paying for a subscription just to access the discounted YYZ pricing often isn’t a slam dunk.
- If you book multiple Flying Blue awards per year (or have a household that redeems frequently), the math can start to look better — especially if you can use multiple Extra Exclusive promos over the year.
A good rule of thumb: first search your dates and confirm you can actually see the 18,750-mile pricing before you pay for anything or transfer points.
How to search and book
- Go to Air France or KLM’s site and choose Book with Miles (award booking).
- Search one-way first (it’s easier to spot promo pricing).
- Use the flexible-date calendar by not putting in a departure date, and look specifically for 18,750 miles in economy on the date ranges listed above.
- Once you find dates that price correctly, lock in your plan:
- If you need to transfer points to Flying Blue, do it only after you’ve confirmed award space.
- Book, pay the taxes/fees, and you’re done.
Best ways for Canadians to earn Flying Blue miles
American Express Membership Rewards (Canada)
American Express Membership Rewards points can be transferred to Flying Blue, making this the most direct “earn in Canada → redeem with Flying Blue” path for many people.
Marriott Bonvoy
Marriott Bonvoy points can be transferred to Flying Blue as well. This route is usually slower and often less efficient than Amex MR, but it can be useful if you’re just a bit short on miles.
Bottom line
Flying Blue’s February 2026 Promo Rewards are especially relevant for Canadians in Montreal (open to all members) and Toronto (available only to Flying Blue Extra subscribers). If you can find the saver-level seats, 18,750 miles one-way in economy can be a strong deal for Europe travel through July 31, 2026.
Start with the date ranges above for Montreal ↔ Paris (and very similar Montreal ↔ Amsterdam dates), confirm the pricing on the Air France/KLM site, and only then transfer points if needed.
