If you have a U.S. credit card<\/a> and\/or a U.S. address, use it to avoid paying taxes.<\/p>\n

For the French, as the purchase of Flying Blue miles is charged in US dollars, it is recommended to use a credit card with no conversion fees for foreign currency transactions.<\/p>\n

This is the case, for example, with the BoursoBank Ultim Card<\/a> (which offers a particularly attractive welcome bonus<\/a> ) or the cards offered by Revolut<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=”Maximize Your Earning of Flying Blue Miles” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” el_id=”maximize_your_earning_of_flying_blue_miles-1″][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

In France, there are many American Express cards<\/a> affiliated to the Flying Blue program that earn Flying Blue Miles through welcome awards and purchases made with the cards. Our favourites? Air France KLM American Express<\/a> and American Express France<\/a> cards.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

The American Express Membership Rewards<\/a> program allows you to transfer points to the Flying Blue program. The transfer rate is 5,000 Membership Rewards points = 4,000 Flying Blue Miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Bottom Line” el_id=”bottom_line”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

Is it worth buying Flying Blue miles?<\/p>\n

As with any miles and points purchase, this will depend on the circumstances. But with a discount of up to 45%, like right now, and a specific trip coming up, it can be an interesting option. You\u2019ll need to decide based on the reward flights you plan to book soon.<\/p>\n

The Flying Blue program does not have a fixed fare structure, but it is possible to get good deals via the Flying Blue Promo Rewards<\/a>, a monthly event offering savings of up to 50% on reward tickets.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”304316″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

For example, when Montreal was on promotion in June 2023, I was able to treat myself to four round-trip flights between Amsterdam and Montreal for just 45,000 Flying Blue Miles<\/a> + 464 euros in taxes. Plus, when you book with Flying Blue Miles, your first piece of luggage<\/a> is included, which is not necessarily the case with paid fares.<\/p>\n
