Flying Blue is the combined points program of KLM and Air France. At the start of each month they discount select routes. This month, Austin long-haul economy flights to Amsterdam are -15,250 cheaper due to this discount. It’s a good idea to check the promo landing page at the start of each month to see if anything worthwhile pops up.
This time KLM has round-trip flights from Austin (AUS) to Amsterdam or Paris (AMS, CDG) for 15,000 points + $254-$265 tax/fees, NONSTOP or with a connection. Fare allows for carry-on bag and seat selection. Promotional ends 05/31/2024. Most flights are in May, and also between July and October. Promo awards are refundable (with a €50 Euro fee) and changeable (with a €50 Euro fee + fare price difference).
Flying Blue is a points transfer partner with all the major point programs including Chase Ultimate Rewards and AMEX Membership Rewards®. If you don’t already have a card that allows for point transfers, you should probably get one to make use of these types of deals. (The ability to transfer points is a card perk that isn’t available on all cards).
