    As well as occurred last February, uncertainty in travel has prompted AF and KLM's loyalty program to renew status again for all its members. In fact, according to an announcement a few days ago, all elite level holders in the Flying Blue program, due to expire by June 30, 2022, will see their status renewed for another 12 months.

    In addition, the mileage deadline was extended ex officio to all program members until December 31, 2022.

    Bonus of 50% of XP points

    At the same time as the status renewal, a new promotion related to the accumulation of experience points, better known as XP points, was also announced.

    Of course, the promo Is not as captivating as the one that will end on December 31, 2021, but it is still an attractive offer that will help all members obtain/renew status more easily even in 2022.

    The new promotion will allow all members to accumulate the 50% bonus of XP points On all flights made by June 30, 2022.

    This offer is valid on all flights marketed by Air France or KLM made between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022. This means that you will get the bonus on every flight bought on the sites of the two companies, even if they are not operated by the French-Dutch carrier.

    Automatic renewals and lowered requirements, here are the decisions of major loyalty programs

    In conclusion

    Travel has not restarted as thought, in addition, the Omicron variant is also putting the Christmas vacations in jeopardy. Air France's and KLM's move is a great way to keep their customers happy without selling out much, since if you don't travel you don't use status-related benefits and therefore it doesn't cost the companies anything, especially since it doesn't come not even sent the card with the new expiration date anymore.
