That program also had some devaluations earlier this year, but I booked my flights to Geneva, Switzerland to go skiing in the Alps in February this year. And it was just 22,000 points from LA to Geneva. Very nice. Was that part of a Flying Blue promo? Yes, sort of.
So KLM and Air France, their Flying Blue program has these monthly promotions where they have discounted award flights between certain cities around the world and the hubs in France and the Netherlands. So I booked during this month where their flights from LA were in the promo, but actually the lowest cost flights were 15,000 points. But you know, I wanted to get the better itinerary.

So I splurged and I spent 22,000 points to get there. Amazing. What fair class. Just economy, you know, but it works.

So your city might be this month or next month if Air France or KLM flies there. Another great way to save on points when you're transferring is to book during a transfer bonus. So these are usually like a month long or six weeks. And I'll just use March as an example. Last month, there was a 50% transfer bonus to Marriott from Chase Ultimate Rewards.

Yeah, it was really helpful when we were looking at valuations of all these airline programs. So that was a really good one. The other award search tools I like are points.yeah, Seats.aero, Points.me, and Roam. These all work pretty much like a flight search tool, except that they'll show you the flight prices also in points.
