The bonus is awarded for all mileage earning economy, premium economy and business class tickets booked between April 26 and May 12, 2024 for travel completed between April 26 and August 26, 2024. The bonus can be earned for up to four flights per member (either 2 round trips or 4 one way trips) Flights booked prior to April 26 do not count.

Miles Earned
Flying Blue awards miles based on the amount you spend on your ticket and your level within the program. Basic Explorer members earn 4 Miles per Euro spent and it goes all the way up to 8 Miles per Euro for Platinum members:
With the bonus those amounts list above will be doubled meaning basic Explorer members will earn 8 miles and Platinum members will earn 16 miles. Of note the bonus only applies to the base fare whereas the standard earn rate will be awarded on carrier surcharges. No miles are earned on taxes/fees.
Earning even more Flying Blue Miles
If you have the Air France KLM Flying Blue Mastercard you’ll also earn 5 extra Flying Blue Miles per Euro spent on these flights (it is not necessary to actually book the flights with this card, you just need it linked to your Flying Blue account) If you don’t have this card, right now is a good time to get it as it is being offered with up to 60,000 bonus Flying Blue Miles when you apply for it by June 10, 2024.
Save with the American Express Platinum Card:
For those that have the Platinum Card from American Express you can book flights for less thanks to Air France and KLM both participating in that card’s International Airline Program. Those flights must be booked via American Express Travel and they should earn the bonus based on the terms and conditions below.
