It’s Back: Air France-KLM Flying Blue Buy Miles 100% Bonus Sale Through August 18, 2022

Air France – KLM’s Flying Blue has launched a sale to buy miles at up to 100% bonus that is valid for purchases made through August 18, 2022.

Flying Blue elite members can purchase up to 300,000 miles per transaction (before the bonus), and regular members 100,000 miles.

There is, however, no limit on the number of miles elite members can buy yearly so this opens up some interesting redemption opportunities as long as they make financial sense and there aren’t better revenue fares available in the market.

You can access Flying Blue’s page for buying miles here.

Bonus Thresholds:

• 4,000 Miles – 50%
• 12,000 Miles – 70%
• 24,000 Miles – 100%

Price:

The price of one mile under this promotion is 1.38 euro cents each.

The sale can be paired nicely with the new Air France KLM Promo Awards:

UPDATE: Air France-KLM August Promo Awards For Travel Through January 31, 2023 (More Destinations Loaded)

We recently covered award anomalies between Delta SkyMiles and Flying Blue:

Delta & Air France Award Abnormalities

Flying Blue is still a rather attractive program where you can actually get some value for your miles rather than their overseas partner Delta with the SkyMiles program.

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. Some of the business awards are rather competitively priced.

This particular sale is very short. If you wish to purchase miles to use for promo awards, it’s recommended to first check for availability.

These are the Terms and Conditions:

During the promotional period, Elite members can receive a maximum bonus of 300,000 Miles when buying Miles, while Explorer members can receive a maximum bonus of 100,000 Miles.
