description KLM Flying Blue Overview
Shared by Air France and KLM, Flying Blue lets members earn Miles on eligible flights and through participating travel and financial partners. Both airlines belong to SkyTeam, connecting the programme with a wider airline network. For eligible Air France and KLM tickets, flight earning is based on qualifying spending in euros and membership status, rather than a fixed rate attached only to the cabin. Partner airline earning follows the relevant partner rules.
Miles can be used for award flights and other eligible rewards, while hotel partnerships provide additional ways to participate in the programme. It suits travellers whose usual routes involve KLM, Air France or compatible partners and who want to bring those journeys into one rewards account. Its shared airline structure offers options across both carriers' networks. Flight rewards are a central use of the currency, and their usefulness depends on availability and the conditions of the booking rather than on a general claim of superior hotel redemption value.
