Air France and KLM are currently running a joint sale in the form ofย KLM’s 85th birthday celebrationsย and Air France’s French Click deals, where RT economy fares to Europe can be had from S$814.
These fares can be booked from now until 10 May 2018 and tickets are valid for travel until 30 November 2018 for both Air France and KLM flights. You can see all the destinations which are on offer here for KLM, and you can see the fares which are offered by Air France here.
Warsaw from S$819, London from S$844
Some of the picks during this sale from KLM would includeย Helsinki from S$814, Warsaw from S$819 and Dublin at S$875. Air France has a lot more destinations including Budapest from S$1,001 and Nice from S$1,270.
What’s interesting about this fare sale is that if you book on either KLM or Air France’s website, you will still be able to see promotional fares offered by both airlines since they operate under the same parent company and have interline agreements with each other.
Just take note which airline your flight will be operated on as this could mean transiting in Paris Charles de Gaulle(CDG) instead of Amsterdam’s Schiphol(AMS) and experiencing two different kinds of economy class products.

Concluding thoughts
The fares which are being offered by both Air France and KLM are quite competitive especially to cities in which you’ll have to make a one-stop connection regardless of which airline you take.
Take note that if you are crediting these to Air France-KLM’s Flying Blue program, they started going revenue based and your award miles will be based on the air fare component of the ticket. Otherwise, you can use wheretocredit.com to check which frequent flyer program would earn you the most miles which can be put to use for SkyTeam redemption flights.

Thanks for the article.. time to hunt for tickets.. ๐
Just be aware that Air France are prone to strike action (sudden or planned!), either get that extra insurance (or make sure your insurance covers it). Prefer KLM to Air France (and similarly, prefer AMS to CDG).
