Promo Rewards - Example of a Past Rates Between Montreal and Paris

Here are some examples of Promo Rewards that have been available in the past.

There was already this example at 7,500 Flying Blue Miles between Montreal and Paris on Air France:

air france – yul-cdg-nce – calendrier – prime promo – fr
air france – yul-cdg-nce – details – prime promo – fr

Availability was particularly high in April and September 2023. But there were also some dates available in May, June, July, and August. Like this example at 7,500 Flying Blue Miles between Montreal and Paris on Air France at the end of July 2023:

air france – yul-cdg – details – prime promo – fr

And don’t forget that when you pay for your flight with Flying Blue Miles, the first piece of checked baggage weighing 23 kgs is included (and if you have Flying Blue status, as I do in the screenshot below, you benefit from an additional piece of baggage):

Here is the fare for 4 passengers on a one-way ticket between Montreal and Paris:

Tips for finding Flying Blue Flight Rewards

On the Air France KLM website, there is a tip to know when searching for 30 days using your Flying Blue Miles: don’t enter anything in the date field!

Air France Search Roundtrip Fr

This unlocks a hidden option: a 30-day flight reward calendar. As shown below:

You can then select the date with the best price in Flying Blue Miles and proceed with the booking.

Earn Flying Blue Miles in Canada

Transfer your Membership Rewards Points to Flying Blue Miles

The primary method of earning Flying Blue miles in Canada is through American Express Membership Rewards cards. You can transfer your Membership Rewards into Flying Blue Miles at a ratio of 1,000 Membership Rewards points = 750 Flying Blue Miles.

Here are the American Express Rewards Cards available in Canada:

So, with a credit card like the American Express Cobalt® Card, you can earn the equivalent of up to 3.75 Flying Blue Miles per dollar on purchases:

Category Membership Rewards points Flying Blue Miles equivalent
Grocery 5 3,75
Home food delivery 5 3,75
Restaurants and bars 5 3,75
Convenience stores 5 3,75
Streaming services 3 2,25
Service station 2 1,5

Travel 2 1,5
Other 1 0,75

There are many other American Express Membership Rewards credit cards from which you can convert your points to Flying Blue Miles.

Transfer your Marriott Bonvoy Points to Flying Blue Miles

The second method of earning Flying Blue miles in Canada is through Marriott Bonvoy Amex credit cards. You can transfer your Marriott Bonvoy points into airline miles including Flying Blue Miles at the ratio of 3 Marriott Bonvoy points = 1 Mile.

And if you transfer 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, you’ll earn 5,000 bonus Miles. Thus, 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points = 25,000 Flying Blue Miles.

The two Marriott Bonvoy Credit Cards available in Canada are:
