Note: Seat availability is on a first-come-first-served basis and there are limited availabilities for the summer months. It is best to book immediately if you have fixed travel plans.

Every month, Air France–KLM’s Flying Blue program publishes promotional rewards where you can book award seats at heavily discounted prices.

Upgrade Business Class Award To La Première

On select transatlantic and Asian routes, Air France specially operates aircraft with its amazing La Première cabin. These luxurious First Class seats can be upgraded by cash at the check-in counter prior to your departure for a fee ranging from $1,500 up to $2,000. Therefore, if you want to try out this cabin, you can save a lot by doing it this way. For example, a one-way paid fare between Paris to New York generally cost up to $10,000 one way.

Summary

Air France–KLM’s Flying Blue program published the promo awards for July 2023 offering discounted award tickets on select routes where you can save between 25% ~ 50% off awards. Thankfully, I managed to find more promotional awards on the Business Class cabin too.
