As a frequent traveler across the pond, I’m always on the lookout for a great redemption option. I try to fly lie-flat for the overnights to Europe, while a decent premium economy product is perfectly fine for the daytime flights back.
My go-to loyalty program is increasingly becoming Air France-KLM’s Flying Blue for two big reasons: access to both excellent sweet spots and great onboard products.
I tell you this because right now, the Air France KLM Visa Signature® credit card is letting you earn an elevated bonus for a limited time: 70,000 bonus miles and 100 Experience Points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first 90 days from account opening.
TPG values that bonus at over $1,000 in our November 2026 valuations, a terrific offer for a card that carries just an $89 annual fee. And here are some of my favorite ways to redeem those miles:
Delta Main Cabin domestic flights starting from only 5,000 Flying Blue miles and around $11 in taxes and fees.
Delta Premium Select from the Northeast to Dublin and Lisbon for under 40,000 miles one-way, plus a very reasonable $33.50 in taxes and fees.
Lie-flat to Europe on your choice of KLM or Air France from as little as 45,000 miles on select routes through their monthly Promo Rewards offers (this month includes New York departures). Both airlines are great, but Air France has a spectacular business-class product.
Plus, those 100 Experience Points are enough for Flying Blue Silver status — which gives you a free checked bag when flying Delta.
One other great thing about Flying Blue: it partners with every major transferable currency. So no matter which other program you earn in (Chase Ultimate Rewards, Bilt, etc.), you can turn your rewards into more Flying Blue miles.
