Air France Flying Blue

The Deal

  • Get a 25% bonus when transferring Citi ThankYou points to Air France/KLM Flying Blue.

Key Terms

  • Expires August 17, 2024 at 11:59pm ET.

Best Uses for Flying Blue Miles

  • Air France Flying Blue Promo Rewards.  Each month, Air France offers discounted award rates for a number of routes.  Sometimes we see economy flights from the US to Europe available for less than 11,000 miles one-way.
  • Fly to Israel for the same award price as to Europe. For example, you may see business class flights from the U.S. to Tel Aviv for as low as 50,000 miles one-way.
  • Delta economy flights between the US and Hawaii for 17,500 miles one-way. Air France also has great award prices for Delta first class to Hawaii, but Delta rarely releases first class award space on its Hawaii routes.

Things to Know

  • Air France awards usually incur taxes and fees.
  • Award availability can be hard to find. Acquire Flying Blue miles only if you know that the awards you want are available.
  • Flying Blue miles expire 2 years after they are earned. Keeping miles alive beyond two years is… weird:
    • As long as you don’t credit any flying activity to your account, you can renew your miles by acquiring more miles through non-flight activity. For example, transferring miles from a transferable points program will renew these miles.
    • If you earn miles by crediting flight activity to your account, then all of your miles become flight activity miles and can only be extended by taking an eligible flight (and crediting it to Flying Blue), or by being an elite member, or making a purchase with your Air France / KLM Flying Blue credit card.

You may also want to mention the 10% points rebate for those with a Citi Rewards+ card, as that pushed me to xfer as I haven’t used many TYP this year. Really helpful for end-of-year bonuses that pop up.

Are there any restrictions on FB account age before transfers are allowed?

Shouldn’t this be 2024?
