Flying Blue loyalty program updates and incentives

Overview

Flying Blue, the loyalty program for Air France and KLM, has introduced structural changes to its award pricing and new promotional incentives.

Effective September 8, 2026, the program implemented a three-tier award fare structure consisting of Light, Standard, and Flex tiers. The “Light” tier offers the lowest mileage cost but includes significant restrictions, such as no refunds, no changes, and reduced baggage allowances in Economy and Business Class. Travelers can access more flexibility through “Standard” or “Flex” awards by paying additional miles.

In October 2026, the airline introduced new incentives for members, including a welcome offer for the Air France-KLM Visa Signature credit card providing 70,000 bonus miles and 100 Experience Points. Additionally, a promotion was launched allowing American Express Membership Rewards cardholders to receive a 25% bonus when transferring points to Flying Blue.
