To avoid sales clutter, weโve decided to start a weekly series on airfare deals. Hereโs where weโll feature a summary of all but the most time-sensitive of deals (e.g flash sales). Purchases made through any of the links in this article supports The Milelion through an affiliate commission.ย
KLM
KLM is having its Dream Deals sale which runs fromย now until 18 September 2018.ย These fares must be booked on KLM’s website.ย Tickets booked in this sale are for travel fromย 15 September 2018 to 15 June 2019.
In this sale, you can travel on either Air France or KLM to destinations worldwide. From South America to Europe, there are decent sale fares to be had. The better deals, however, are to Europe. Fares start from S$746 to Europe on KLM/Air France and if you are looking at travelingย within the region with KLM, fares to Bali start from S$206.
Brussels from S$746 is a potentially good deal, with good connectivity options to France, the United Kingdom and Germany.
Here are some of the fares which KLM are offering:

Concluding Thoughts
The past week wasn’t an exciting one in terms of airfare deals. If you are able to know your schedule between April to August 2019, I highly recommend checking out the sale which they are running. If you are looking for flights over the December holidays, KLM and Qatar Airways would be your best bet.
