Air France and KLM‘s Flying Blue frequent flyer program offers travelers worldwide the opportunity to maximize their travel experience by using Miles. But to use them properly, you first have to earn them. How? By increasing purchases from Flying Blue and Air France partner airlines. Here’s a list of all the program partners with whom you can earn (and use!) Miles.
Who are the Flying Blue's partners?
In all, Flying Blue has some sixty partners with whom you can earn a maximum number of Flying Blue Miles, or use your Miles balance.

Flying Blue partners - Credit cards
Flying Blue is a partner of American Express. All American Express cardholders can earn Flying Blue Miles with their everyday purchases.
American Express Cards
American Express cardholders – whether Green American Express, Gold American Express or Platinum American Express – can earn Membership Rewards points. These can be transferred into Flying Blue Miles, and Flying Blue Miles can be transferred into points. 4 Flying Blue Miles equal 5 Membership Rewards points.
Air France KLM American Express cards
The quickest way to earn Flying Blue Miles is with an Air France KLM American Express card. Unlike American Express cards, which earn Membership Rewards points, Air France KLM American Express Silver, Gold and Platinum cards earn Flying Blue Miles directly and without transfer.
Flying Blue Partners - Airlines
Many Flying Blue partner airlines allow program members to earn Miles. Flying Blue partner airlines that are not members of SkyTeam allow you to earn Miles with the Elite bonus, earn XP on eligible flights and extend the validity of your Miles so that you don’t lose them after two years of inactivity. SkyTeam member airlines also offer all the SkyTeam advantages, such as access to SkyPriority.
Several partner airlines also allow you to use Flying Blue Miles as currency to pay for award tickets or in-flight options.
