The new Air France Promo awards are out. With the latest promo awards, you can get deeply discounted Economy Class and Premium Economy Class award tickets to Europe. If you don’t already know, Air France releases promo awards which are heavily discounted, up to 50%, awards between destinations.
The latest promotional offer only requires 12,500 Air France miles plus taxes for a one-way Economy Class flight from Detroit, 25,000 miles for a one-way Economy Class flight from Washington D.C., and 18,750 Air France miles plus taxes for a one-way Economy Class flight from New York JFK and Mexico City. These awards can be booked to go all the way to Casablanca, Istanbul, Moscow, Athens, or Tel Aviv for the same price. That’s a pretty amazing deal for such a low level of miles. In fact, you can go just about anywhere on the map below for that price and even a few places that aren’t showing on the map.

Have you seen any rhyme or reason to figure out which European cities can and cannot be booked for the 12,500 miles?
For example I’d expect DTW-EDI to be 12,500, but it comes in at 22,500 (11/13 as an example date). Even though both flights (DTW-CDG and CDG-EDI) are on Air France metal.
I can get DTW-IST to price at 12,500 though
