Quick Thoughts

Air France KLM Flying Blue can be a very useful rewards program. Business class awards between the United States and Europe start at 60,000 miles each way, though we sometimes see promo rewards that drop that rate to as low as 45,000 miles per way in business class (and economy class as low as 18,750 miles each way). Consider that those prices are before factoring in a transfer bonus, so if you’re able to find availability at those rates, you could use as few as 37,500 ThankYou points each way in business class or 15,625 ThankYou points each way in economy class.

Flying Blue does collect surcharges on its tickets, so expect to pay $300-$400 each way in taxes and fees on top of the miles if you’re redeeming for business class. Still, availability is often decent at reasonable prices (though not wide open at the best prices).

As a parent of young kids, one of my favorite things about Flying Blue is that kids between the ages of 2 and 11 get a 25% discount on long-haul award tickets. That’s true in any cabin, so it can make for some excellent deals for business class if you can stomach the surcharges.

Keep in mind that Flying Blue miles can also be useful for domestic Delta flights, particularly short-distance flights — if you book in advance. Delta has now eliminated partner access to awards within 21 days of departure; you’ll need to book in advance to snag a deal through Flying Blue. Still, you can sometimes book Delta flights for as few as 5,000 Flying Blue miles, so it is certainly an option that can save you miles in the right scenario.
