Why Flying Blue Can Be Valuable
Flying Blue remains one of the more useful airline loyalty programs for U.S. travelers because it offers access to Air France, KLM, and the broader SkyTeam network.
Some of the best uses of Flying Blue miles include:
- Flights between North America and Europe on Air France and KLM
- Monthly Promo Rewards that offer discounted award pricing on select routes
- Business class awards on Air France and KLM
- SkyTeam partner redemptions on airlines such as Delta, Virgin Atlantic, Korean Air, and others
- Intra-Europe flights and connections throughout the Air France-KLM network
Flying Blue uses dynamic award pricing, but it frequently offers competitive redemption rates compared to other airline programs. The program is also known for generally having good award availability, especially on Air France and KLM-operated flights.
Guru’s Wrap-up
A 25% transfer bonus is a solid promotion and can make Flying Blue awards even more attractive. The program remains one of the better options for booking SkyTeam flights and often has decent award availability compared to some competitors.
As always, it’s best to transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind. These transfers are no reversible and it’s best to keep points in a flexible currency. But if you’re planning an Air France, KLM, or SkyTeam award booking, this bonus can reduce the number of Membership Rewards points needed significantly.
