Buying Air France-KLM miles — your questions
How much does it cost to buy Air France-KLM miles?
Buying Air France-KLM miles here costs 1.7¢ per mile — $17 per 1,000 miles. That rate is confirmed on your quote, before any payment is made. Use the calculator on this page to price the amount you actually need; the quote itself is free and no-obligation.
Can you buy Air France-KLM miles?
Yes. Air France-KLM miles are transferred into the loyalty account you already hold, and you book directly with the airline afterwards. You don't open anything new, and you keep control of the reservation. We are not affiliated with any airline or loyalty program.
How fast are Flying Blue miles delivered?
Most transfers land in your account within 3 business days. The exact window is shown on each program's page, and you'll get confirmation the moment the transfer completes.
What else are Flying Blue miles called?
Flying Blue is Air France-KLM's frequent flyer program, and you'll also see its miles called Flying Blue points, Air France miles or KLM miles. It's one currency whatever the name: buy or purchase Flying Blue miles under any of them and it's the same order here, added to your account at the same rate.
Which airlines can I fly with Flying Blue miles?
Air France and KLM all run on Flying Blue, so miles bought here work across every one of them from the same account — there is nothing to transfer between them. SkyTeam partners are bookable too, as partner awards.
Does Flying Blue publish an award chart?
No, pricing is dynamic with published from-rates: transatlantic business starts at 60,000 miles one way and economy around 25,000, with monthly Promo Rewards cutting selected routes by 25%, business from about 45,000. The floors aren't on every flight, so check your dates, then price the shortfall with the calculator above.
Do Flying Blue miles expire?
The rule relaxed in May 2026: the whole balance stays alive for 24 months from your last earning activity, and any qualifying earn resets all of it. Elite members and co-brand cardholders are exempt entirely.
Can I upgrade an Air France or KLM flight with miles?
Yes, dynamically priced and requestable online up to about 24 hours before departure, with the cheapest promo fares excluded. When an upgrade offer shows on your booking, the calculator above prices the miles it needs.
What are Promo Rewards?
Flying Blue's signature deal: on the first of each month a list of discounted routes goes live at 25% off, sometimes more, and business to Europe has appeared from around 45,000 miles one way. When your route lands on the list, a top-up compounds the discount.
What payment methods do you accept?
We'll confirm the accepted payment methods when we send your quote. Payment is always handled off this site.
Is this legitimate?
Yes. We've completed 5,000+ transfers. You get a firm quote confirming your exact rate and delivery window before any payment is made, and the miles go into an account you already control.
Will buying miles affect my account?
We handle every transfer carefully to protect your account. If you have questions about a specific program, reach out before ordering and we'll walk you through it.
