Flying Blue miles
Air France / KLM Flying Blue Sweet Spots & Award Chart Guide
The best ways to spend Flying Blue miles in 2026 — partner sweet spots, transfer routes, and live award availability.
What can you do with Flying Blue miles?
Flying Blue is the most-transferable SkyTeam program in the West, with all five major US transferable currencies feeding it. Monthly Promo Rewards regularly drop 25–50% off long-haul business class.
Most travellers earn Flying Blue miles through a mix of paid flights on Air France / KLM Flying Blue, partner-airline credits, co-branded credit cards, and — for the major US and UK transferable currencies — direct point transfers from American Express, Chase, Capital One, Citi, and Bilt. Where a 1:1 transfer ratio exists, Flying Blue miles behaves more like a flexible currency than a frequent-flyer balance: you keep them in your bank-card program until you find an award you actually want to book.
The best redemptions almost never come from booking Air France / KLM Flying Blue's own metal at standard pricing. They come from finding partner award space, off-peak windows, or specific cabin pricing where the chart is mispriced relative to the cash fare. The list below covers the redemptions our community books most often, but pricing and partner availability shift constantly — use the live search and the AI agent to confirm before you transfer.
