This week on The Canadian Jetsetter Podcast, our weekly show on Canadian aviation news, flight deals, and points with Graeme (founder) and Jer (marketing and partnerships), we’re breaking down one of the best loyalty programs going for Canadians right now: Air France-KLM Flying Blue.
The October 2026 promo is a strong one. Economy flights to Europe are going for 18,750 miles one way (down from 25,000) out of five Canadian cities: Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver, flying Air France or KLM into Paris or Amsterdam. We walk through exactly how to find the discounted dates, the booking deadline and travel window, and the catch Vancouver flyers need to know about.
We also get into the sneaky side of the promo, including the new Light fare quietly working its way into the discounted award space, and whether it counts as a devaluation.
From there it’s all about the miles themselves: the best ways for Canadians to earn Flying Blue, why you should always run the miles-vs-cash comparison before booking, and one under-the-radar sweet spot, using Flying Blue miles to book itineraries on a Canadian airline.
Want to go deeper? We point you to our free Flying Blue mini guide and our full Mastering Canadian Travel Points Handbook at the end of the show.
