Flying Blue Promo Awards: Fly Between Select North American Cities And Europe, Israel, Or Russia From 10.4K Points In Coach Or 21.2K Points In Business!

Flying Blue considers Israel to be part of Europe, which makes for mileage bargains, though fuel surcharges apply. JFK to Tel Aviv can be booked for as low as 25K miles in coach, 42.5K points in premium economy, or 53K miles in business class each way.

If you book an award ticket using Air France/KLM Flying Blue miles by 11/30 for travel on select dates between 12/31-2/28 you can find some great deals with Promo Awards.

Additionally you can also get a 25% bonus when you transfer points from AMEX to Flying Blue!
