Flying Blue is fully dynamic with no fixed chart since 2018. Pricing varies by route, date, cabin, and demand. Per-route minimum floors exist (~50-60K for transatlantic business). Monthly 'Promo Rewards', published the 1st of each month, discount select routes 25-50 percent for travel typically over the next 5 months. Promo discounts only apply to the lowest-fare standard awards, not surge-priced dates. Air France and KLM metal carry heavy fuel surcharges ($200-600 long-haul business).
