Using Miles with Transavia

In addition to allowing passengers to earn Flying Blue Miles, Transavia also lets you to spend them. The low-cost airline allows its customers to use Flying Blue Miles to book flights.

It is important to note that if you book a flight with Flying Blue Miles and are unable to travel, you will not get your Miles back. However, you can change your flight for an additional 50 euros, plus any fare difference.

To book a Transavia flight with Miles, simply select the “Show prices in Flying Blue Miles” option when you search for a flight on the Transavia website. You will be asked to log in to your Flying Blue account after entering your details in order to check how many Miles you have available.

For a flight between Paris and Lisbon, for example, Transavia offers tickets for between 4,000 and 20,000 Flying Blue Miles. Because of the wide range in Miles, it’s a good idea to be a little flexible when it comes to dates. This way you can help secure the best rate possible.

Buying Flight Tickets

To optimize the value of your Miles, we recommend that you choose a medium-haul ticket rather than a short-haul ticket. Because the higher the cash value of a flight and the lower its value in Flying Blue Miles, the better the chances that a Mile will be worth more.

If you choose to pay in Miles for the flight from Paris to Lisbon given in the example above, you could spend 4,000 Flying Blue Miles and 31.43 euros in airport taxes (for a one-way trip only). In cash, the value of the same flight is equivalent to 43 euros (one-way only). This means that if you pay for this flight in Miles, the value of a Flying Blue Mile will be equal to 0.3 cents ([43 – 31,43]/4,000). Here, the value is not the most optimal. It would be wiser to buy the ticket in cash for 43 euros.

For a flight between Paris and Amman, Jordan, you could spend 24,000 Flying Blue Miles and 58.83 euros in airport taxes. In cash, the value of the same flight would be 152 euros. This means that if you pay for this flight in Miles, the value of a Flying Blue Mile will be equal to 0.4 cents ([152 – 58,83]/24,000).

To be honest, even though Transavia serves a wide range of destinations, it’s not the most advantageous way to use Flying Blue Miles. The return on investment becomes much more attractive when Flying Blue Miles are used to purchase an upgraded ticket or a Flying Blue Promo Award ticket to one of the destinations served by Air France or KLM, in the Premium Economy, Business, and La Première (first class) cabins.

The value of a Mile can increase to 2.5 euro cents, as we explain in our guide to the value of Flying Blue Miles.

The market value of a Flying Blue Mile can vary from 0.2 to 2.5 euro cents . As the difference between the lowest and highest values is quite significant, it is recommended to use your Miles wisely in order to maximize the return on your investment.
