Air France – KLM’s Flying Blue has launched a new miles sale with an 80% bonus through April 11, 2021.
Elite Flying Blue members can purchase up to 300,000 per transaction and others 100,000. There is no limit on the number of miles that elite members can buy yearly.
You can access Flying Blue’s page for buying miles here.
Here’s the price:
The price of a mile is 1.53 euro cents each.
Conclusion
Flying Blue miles come in handy at times (the easiest to book awards is to use their app), and the only way to get access to first-class La Premiere-cabin (need to be an elite member too) that is not available using partner programs.
Air France – KLM sells its miles at a 100% bonus a few times a year, so I would take a pass until the better offer resurfaces.
I have to say that I have found Flying Blue miles quite useful as of late for award flights that I have taken. This has been quite a surprise for me.
