Aggressive KLM £399 sale fares to China and Hong Kong

I don’t write any many airline fare sales on Head for Points – at least not compared to the number I get emailed about – but KLM is running a very short term sale to China which did catch my eye.

Until July 8th – so you have two days left to book – they are selling economy tickets to a number of Chinese cities plus Hong Kong for £399.

These are flights from Heathrow with a connection in Amsterdam.

You need to fly between 26th August and 30th September, which seems an oddly tight window but there you go! Your return flight must be from 1st October to 15th December. If you only want a short holiday you will need to fly in late September.

Full details can be found on the KLM website here.

There are also special offers to other destinations around the world but none seemed as aggressively priced as these China fares.

How to earn Flying Blue miles from UK credit cards (April 2024)

Air France and KLM do not have a UK Flying Blue credit card.  However, you can earn Flying Blue miles by converting Membership Rewards points earned from selected UK American Express cards.

These cards earn Membership Rewards points:

• American Express Preferred Rewards Gold (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 20,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 20,000 Flying Blue miles. This card is FREE for your first year and also comes with four free airport lounge passes.

• The Platinum Card from American Express (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 40,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 40,000 Flying Blue miles

• American Express Rewards credit card (review here, apply here) – sign-up bonus of 10,000 Membership Rewards points converts into 10,000 Flying Blue miles. This card is FREE for life.

Membership Rewards points convert at 1:1 into Flying Blue miles which is an attractive rate.  The cards above all earn 1 Membership Rewards point per £1 spent on your card, which converts to 1 Flying Blue mile. The Gold card earns double points (2 per £1) on all flights you charge to it.
