Air France-KLM Flying Blue program has made changes to miles expiry and fees associated with award changes and redeposits.
Miles expiry waiver for non-elite members has been extended by 12 months through December 31, 2021, and fees associated with award changes and cancellations axed.

Miles Expiry
We’ll prevent all Miles from expiring between now and the end of 2020 for all our Explorer members.
Award Fees
Rebook and cancellation policy for reward tickets
Due to the uncertainty surrounding travel in this period, we want to give you peace of mind and flexibility when booking your travel. For this reason, reward tickets are changeable without a fee and refundable from now on.
Conclusion
Sensible policy changes from Air France-KLM to help Flying Blue members whose miles otherwise had expired at the end of 2020 (previous policy), or with award tickets that require changes or cancellations due to the ever-changing Covid-19 environment.
They’d better follow the example set by Qatar and lower the amount of miles needed to book a flight in the first place. They could easily do that, too, after raising the amount needed by sometimes 400% over the last 3 years.
