Earn Miles
How many Miles will you earn?
With Air France or KLM, the number of Miles you earn depends on how much you spend (excluding government-imposed taxes and fees) as well as your Flying Blue level.
- Explorers earn 4 Miles for each Euro spent.
- Silver members earn 6 Miles for each Euro spent.
- Gold members earn 7 Miles for each Euro spent.
- Platinum members earn 8 Miles for each Euro spent.
You've purchased an Air France ticket for €1,000.
Let's imagine that you're an Explorer: you earn 4 Miles for each Euro spent, or 4 x €700 = 2,800 Miles. Provide your Flying Blue number during booking and the Miles will automatically be added to your Miles & XP counter, 24 hours after your flight.
Did you purchase a Seat or Baggage Option? You can also earn Miles that match the amount you’ve spent!
If you buy your ticket with a currency other than the Euro: we'll do the conversion at the time of your purchase. This allows us to calculate how many Miles you'll be able to earn.
