And don’t forget that when you pay for your flight with Flying Blue Miles, the first piece of checked baggage weighing 23 kgs is included (and if you have Flying Blue status, as I do in the screenshot below, you benefit from an additional piece of baggage):

Tips for finding Flying Blue Flight Rewards

On the Air France KLM website, there is a tip to know when searching for 30 days using your Flying Blue Miles: don’t enter anything in the date field!

This unlocks a hidden option: a 30-day flight reward calendar. As shown below:

You can then select the date with the best price in Flying Blue Miles and proceed with the booking.

Earn Flying Blue Miles in Canada

Transfer your Membership Rewards Points to Flying Blue Miles

The primary method of earning Flying Blue miles in Canada is through American Express Membership Rewards cards. You can transfer your Membership Rewards into Flying Blue Miles at a ratio of 1,000 Membership Rewards points = 750 Flying Blue Miles.

Here are the American Express Rewards Cards available in Canada:

So, with a credit card like the American Express Cobalt® Card, you can earn the equivalent of up to 3.75 Flying Blue Miles per dollar on purchases:

Category Membership Rewards points Flying Blue Miles equivalent
Grocery 5 3,75
Home food delivery 5 3,75
Restaurants and bars 5 3,75
Convenience stores 5 3,75
Streaming services 3 2,25
Service station 2 1,5
Transport 2 1,5
Travel 2 1,5
Other 1 0,75

There are many other American Express Membership Rewards credit cards from which you can convert your points to Flying Blue Miles.

Transfer your Marriott Bonvoy points to Flying Blue Miles

The second method of earning Flying Blue miles in Canada is through Marriott Bonvoy Amex credit cards. You can transfer your Marriott Bonvoy points into airline miles including Flying Blue Miles at the ratio of 3 Marriott Bonvoy points = 1 Mile.

And if you transfer 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, you’ll earn 5,000 bonus Miles. Thus, 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points = 25,000 Flying Blue Miles.

The two Marriott Bonvoy Credit Cards available in Canada are:

Transfer your Membership Rewards points into Flying Blue Miles

As Flying Blue and American Express France are partners, you can transfer your Membership Rewards points (earned with an American Express card) into Flying Blue Miles. However, you must have a minimum of 625 points to transfer. 5 Membership Rewards points are equivalent to 4 Flying Blue Miles.

Here are the American Express cards in France with which you can earn Membership Rewards points:

In France, 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, and Pro Air France KLM Silver, Gold and Platinum cards earn Flying Blue Miles for every euro spent.

SILVER CARD GOLD CARD PLATINUM CARD

Bottom Line

Promo Rewards are one of the best opportunities to use Flying Blue Miles: you can either save money on economy class flights or treat yourself to Air France KLM business class at a discounted fare.

In addition, this is combined with the 25% discount for children’s reward tickets on the Flying Blue Family account.
