Flying Blue, Air France-KLM’s loyalty program, is expanding its footprint beyond the skies with the launch of Flying Blue+, a new mobile app designed to help members earn miles through everyday purchases. Available now for users in the U.S. and U.K., the app is the loyalty program’s latest push to become part of members’ daily lives, not just when they travel.

Here’s what you need to know about Flying Blue’s newest app.

How the Flying Blue+ App Works

If you fly Air France or KLM regularly — or even just occasionally — the new Flying Blue+ app (iOS, Android) is worth checking out. It lets you earn miles without even boarding a plane.

Here’s how it works: link your credit card to the app and start shopping through Flying Blue+’s network of partners. Whether booking hotels, renting cars, dining out, or making everyday purchases online or in-store, the app turns your routine spending into valuable Flying Blue miles.

The rate of earning Flying Blue miles varies by partner, but well-known brands like Burberry, Macy’s, and Hertz are already participating. Plus, you’ll find plenty of opportunities across categories like fashion, wellness, culture, food, and even banking and insurance.

The app also helps you manage your Flying Blue account easily. You can view your membership card, check your mileage balance, and review your transaction history all in 1 place.

Redeeming miles is straightforward, too. Flying Blue+ has a “Spend My Miles” section that links directly to airline partner sites so you can book reward flights, upgrades, or travel extras with just a few taps.

That said, the redemption experience isn’t perfect yet. It currently takes you to a mobile website instead of letting you book awards entirely within the app. Hopefully, Flying Blue will improve that soon.

Hot Tip:

Flying Blue miles are some of the most valuable airline points around, especially when redeemed for premium cabin flights on Air France, KLM, or SkyTeam partners. Now, you can use the Flying Blue+ app to boost your miles through everyday spending, then put them toward a luxurious business class experience with Air France.

Final Thoughts

Flying Blue+ is a promising new way to earn miles beyond flying. It makes it easier to rack up rewards through everyday purchases. While the app is currently available only to members in the U.S. and the U.K., Flying Blue plans to expand it to more countries soon.

Hopefully, future updates will let you book award flights directly within the app for a smoother experience.
