Promo Awards June 2015
Bookable 1-30 June for travel 1 August-30 September.

Another poor selection. Little in Business.
The only NA destinations (so far) are Boston (-25%, 37.5k return) and Houston (-50%, 25k return) in Economy only.
The only COI destination is Fort de France at 112.5k return in Business.
Africa is represented by 3 destinations - in economy only. Cotonou and Lomé at -25%, Kinshasa at -50%.
Asia is perhaps a little better; 5 Chinese destinations in a mix of business and economy; BOM appears in biz at -50%, BKK in Prem Eco at -50%, with KUL on offer in Economy at -25%.
South America only has two destinations - Brasilia and Caracas - but (remarkably) both are available in all 3 classes on Air France (Economy, Premium Economy, Business) at 50% off. This harks back to the old days of Promo Awards before they were diluted to the general miserliness that they have now become.
I'm not sure that Caracas is such an appealing destination under current circumstances, though.

Traffic to SFO and LAX is strong and growing ahead of expectation. I doubt AF or KLM will be interested in giving away any seats. Even less likely in J.
