Through Thursday, March 5, 2026 Air France-KLM's Flying Blue program is offering a promotion on the purchase of miles.
In this article:
Compared to the last few promos that gave a discount on the price of miles, this time the classic upward bonus returns based on the number of miles you buy up to 80%, which you get by buying at least 24,000 miles in a single transaction. As always, I remind you that this is an ad personam promo, so it is possible that different users will see different offers.
As a reminder, depending on the level held, the maximum amount of points that can be purchased also changes. During the promotional period, Elite members can receive a maximum of 240,000 Bonus Miles by purchasing Miles, while Explorer members can receive a maximum of 80,000 Bonus Miles.
Is it worth buying Flying Blue miles?
I will never tire of repeating that. you buy if you need to use Within a short period of time, for example if you are going to take advantage of the monthly promos that FB publishes on the 1st of each month, you don't buy to bank. Air France-KLM's Flying Blue program has a dynamic pricing system for award tickets, this means that for an Italy USA ticket you can spend, excluding bids, a minimum of 60K points each way, up to 600 thousand. So always buy when the price is low, or very low.
It is good to remember that miles can be used on a lot of carriers, both Skyteam and partner carriers such as Etihad, Oman Air and many others. Flying Blue charges fuel surcharges on award tickets, but they are lower than on British Airways, Emirates or Lufthansa. For example. I have often flown from the US to Linate spending 20k Fb miles and less than 70$ in surcharges. It is good to remember that Flying Blue miles expire, however, just make a qualifying flight with Air France KLM and other Skyteam carriers to extend the validity by 24months.
You decided to buy Flying Blue points? be sure to do the math well, because the savings may not be large compared to the amount of money required to book such a ticket by paying cash.
In conclusion
Promotion that gives a bonus of the 80% so if they are needed it is time to buy, otherwise wait for the next offer that might be better (but also worse).
