If you've been sitting on Flying Blue miles hoping to squeeze out one more outsized redemption, today is the rude awakening - Air France-KLM's 20-25% mileage devaluation went live this morning. Miles & Points Daily has the full breakdown of exactly which routes took the biggest hit and what your miles are actually worth now.

The good news? The rest of the award travel world is looking pretty generous right now. We've got a KrisFlyer sale slashing award costs by 15%, eight live transfer bonuses (including a 30% Amex bonus to British Airways Avios), and a Hyatt redemption that's genuinely delivering 8 cents per point. Let's dig in.

KrisFlyer's current redemption sale offers discounts on Singapore Airlines awards. What is the discount percentage on Economy and Premium Economy Singapore Airlines flights?

This week's standout economy deal is Qatar Airways from Doha to New York (JFK), sitting at just 35,000 points one-way at off-peak pricing. What makes this particularly exciting is the availability - this is rated High, which is rare for a premium carrier like Qatar on a transatlantic route.

Available dates: Oct 1 (Thu), Oct 2 (Fri), Oct 3 (Sat), Oct 4 (Sun), Oct 5 (Mon) - all in 3-4 weeks, giving you just enough time to transfer points and book without panic.

The standard peak rate on this route is 50,000 points, so you're saving 15,000 points by booking now at off-peak. Qatar Airways economy is no slouch either - you're getting a proper meal service, generous recline, and one of the better longhaul economy products in the sky.

Here's where it gets interesting. There's currently a 20% transfer bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air Canada Aeroplan, ending September 30 (in 21 days). Aeroplan can be used to book Qatar Airways flights, meaning you could effectively get your 35,000-point ticket for around 29,200 Chase points after the bonus. That's exceptional value for a Qatar Airways transatlantic flight.

35,000 points for Qatar Airways economy to New York is a genuinely strong redemption - especially with high availability across five consecutive dates in early October. If you have Chase points, stack the 20% Aeroplan transfer bonus before it ends September 30 (in 21 days) and you're looking at roughly 29,200 effective points for this ticket. Book via Aeroplan's website or directly through Qatar's award search.

All four economy deals this week are Qatar Airways routes originating in Doha, priced at off-peak rates. If you're positioned in the Gulf region or connecting through Doha, these are worth serious attention.

The Doha-Paris route at 20,000 points is a particularly sharp deal if you can snag that single low-availability seat. That's a Middle East to Europe longhaul flight for the price of a short domestic award on many US carriers.

Heading the other direction? There's a solid reciprocal option on Qatar.

Same Chase Aeroplan transfer bonus trick applies here - stack the 20% bonus before September 30 (in 21 days) to bring this down to roughly 29,200 effective Chase points. High availability on five dates makes this one of the most bookable deals in today's issue.

This one is hard to ignore. The Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center is clocking in at 8.0 cents per point - that's exceptional by any measure, and it's the top value redemption across all 12 hotel properties in today's issue.

At approximately 15,000 World of Hyatt points per night, this is one of the most accessible luxury-adjacent redemptions around. If you've been accumulating Hyatt points via the Chase transfer bonus or World of Hyatt credit card, this is the kind of property where those points genuinely punch above their weight.
