Flying Blue has changed the taxes and mainly fuel surcharges that its collect for award tickets making economy awards better deal than they used to be. The fuel surcharge that Air France-KLM now calls “carrier imposed international surcharge” is capped for premium economy, business, and first class flights as well.

Conclusion

All the Asia Pacific promo award destinations are at 50% off, but even then the business class award pricey. Who would pay their regular rate of 100,000 miles one-way in business class?
