Air France-KLM Flying Blue
How it works
Flying Blue is a dynamic program whose whole value proposition is the monthly Promo Rewards — a rotating set of routes discounted up to 25%, dropping select Air France/KLM awards below their usual dynamic price. Outside the promos pricing is unremarkable, and surcharges are moderate. As a transfer partner of every major bank, it's the easiest SkyTeam currency to feed on demand.
- Check Promo Rewards each month — that's the entire game; transfer in only when a deal matches your route.
- Transferable from Amex, Chase, Citi, Capital One and Bilt at 1:1, near-instant — no need to pre-stock.
- Award prices are dynamic and shift by date; flexibility pays off.
- XP elite status can be earned partly through award activity — minor perk.

1Flying Blue Promo Rewards
Each month Flying Blue discounts a set of routes 25–50% via Promo Rewards, dropping Air France/KLM business to ~45–55k miles. The dynamic chart is otherwise mediocre, so the promo calendar is the whole game.
