Flying Blue Black Friday Promo´s?

Does anybody know about possible (early) Black Friday promo's for Flying Blue award flights?

Was looking for award flights and stumbled on a 15.050 miles promo from Brussels to JFK in february/march. (wanted to post picture but can't because I'm new).

It seems a bit odd to me because NYC is not in the regular award promos for this month. From what I see it's also a 30% discount instead of the regular 25% or 50%.

Was wondering if anybody knew about possible deals to other destinations.

Triple Miles

The only Black Friday FB Promo I'm aware of is to triple your FB miles earned on up to 2 reservations, as long as:
- the booking is made before December 2, 2019
- the trip is completed by March 31, 2020
- tripled miles only on select routes/pais of cities.

Terms & Conditions for the promotion here:
Discover Europe and earn triple bonus Miles on Air France and KLM

Cheers

Tomorrowmorning at 8am CET the Blue Fly Days (KLM's version of Black Friday) will start, no idea if it has something to do with what you're seeing but in the email they released at least three of the more than 30 destinations that will get a "deal": San Francisco, Johannesburg and Sint Maarten.

Good spot.

They've never previously - to the best of my recollection - run any Flying Blue offers specifically tied -in with Black Friday.

i usually find the award miles for us in Y not worthb it because of the taxes. paid tickets are nowadays so cheap with AF to NYC. i can see direct flights from Brussels to NYC at 299 euros. much better in my opinion than spending miles and >200 in taxes for NYC flights. by the way, I dont see the offer anymore.

On the other hand , UX or AZ made far more better offers

AZ's offer (at least from NL) is 25% off, except to the US, which is very much a "normal" offer for them. They last offered 25% off in July to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing (I can't help they missed a trick there!!! 50% off would have been more fitting )

What's UX offering?

Don't get too excited. It's usually not offered on "Light" fares.

But it is offered on the whole ticket price, not just the fare portion! Making a 400 euro business class ticket 300 euro for example.

This triple miles Black Friday promotion is kind of hilarious: Air France is so cheap that the terms and conditions say it's valid on all classes of travel except La Premiere .
