Points & Miles

Flying Blue miles can be earned in many different ways, including flying with KLM, Air France and partner airlines, transferring American Express Membership Rewards points, staying with hotel partners and hiring cars.

For UK members, flying isn’t necessarily the only way to build a large Flying Blue balance. American Express Membership Rewards points can be transferred into Flying Blue, while a wide range of airline, hotel and travel partners provide additional earning opportunities.

Flying Blue is the frequent flyer scheme for KLM and Air France.  For some reason it does not get much coverage in many UK based blogs but for many years KLM has been well used by UK travellers living close to airports such as Exeter, Humberside and Teesside who are not served by any other network carriers.

Flying Blue has four main membership levels: Explorer, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Members earn Experience Points (XP) from eligible flights, with higher status levels providing benefits including additional miles earning, fast track security, additional baggage and lounge access.
