Deal of the day: Fly to Europe starting at 18,750 Flying Blue miles
Editor's Note
There's a reason why Europe is a perennially popular travel destination — several reasons, in fact. This widely varied continent truly has something for everyone.
Seeking ancient castles and cities steeped in history? Head to Prague. Prefer rugged mountain hikes or sun-drenched days on the water? Zurich will do nicely. What about a vibrant culinary scene and world-renowned wine? Try Bordeaux on the western coast of France.
With this deal from Air France-KLM's Flying Blue program, you can visit all these places and more starting at just 18,750 miles each way in economy. That's 25% off the usual rate of 25,000 miles. There are also some premium economy tickets available for 30,000 miles each way, compared to the standard price of 40,000 miles.
(Note that prices and availability were accurate at the time of writing.)

How to find and book TPG's deal of the day
This deal is part of Flying Blue's March Promo Rewards, meaning you have until the end of the month to book. You can see which destinations are included on the Flying Blue website, then use the handy Seats.aero tool to see which routes and dates have the lowest prices.
After you've narrowed down your dates and destinations, confirm award availability and book your ticket on the Air France or KLM website. This hidden calendar tool can help you search.
If you fly to one of the carriers' main hubs — Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) or Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) — you can snag a direct flight for as few as 18,750 miles and $103 in economy.
If you fly elsewhere in Europe, the cheapest flight may not be the most direct — but the savings could be worth a few extra hours in the air. For instance, on March 30, you could fly economy from Chicago to Copenhagen with a connection in Amsterdam for only 18,750 miles and $133. You could book a direct flight on Scandinavian Airlines instead, but it will cost you nearly twice the miles.
Air France's site lets you sort according to lowest price and trip duration, so check your options before booking to ensure you're getting the best deal.
