tl;dr—Air France / KLM just launched its first points sales of 2025 and the airline group is offering a bonus of up to 80% when you purchase miles. If you've identified a good redemption using Flying Blue miles, this might be a good deal for you.

Through March 9, 2025, you'll receive a bonus of up to 80% on your purchase of Air France / KLM Flying Blue Miles. This could be a decent opportunity to up your Flying Blue balance for a savvy redemption.

It's worth mentioning that Air France / KLM are seemingly always selling miles. The airlines offer near-monthly promotions to purchase miles throughout the year, so if you aren't a buyer here you'll likely have many more opportunities to do so in the coming months. Over the last few years, the deals to purchase points rotate between discounts on your purchase (usually of 35-50%) and bonuses on your purchase (usually between 70-100%). The best recent bonus Air France / KLM has offered is 100% so this offer of 80% isn't as compelling as those in recent history.

Key Terms to Know

  • Elite members can purchase an unlimited number of miles, though each transaction is capped at 300,000 miles, resulting in a bonus of 240,000 additional miles (540,000 total) when factoring in the bonus.
  • Basic Flying Blue members can purchase up to 100,000 miles with a bonus of 80,000 miles.

What are Some Good Uses of Flying Blue Miles ?

Most redemptions in the Flying Blue loyalty program are optimized around flight paths that take you through Paris or Amsterdam. The best deals will usually involve one of those two cities, or a city that is in some way affiliated with France or The Netherlands. More often than not your redemption of Flying Blue Miles will have you seated on an Air France or KLM plane.

For as little as 70,000 Flying Blue Miles you can fly all the way from Bangkok to Amsterdam or Paris in business class onboard KLM or Air France

A popular option that won't take you to Paris or Amsterdam but will allow you to head French Polynesia in style is Air France's business class service from Los Angeles (LAX) to Papeete (PPT). For as little as 77,000 Flying Blue Miles, you lay flat while you head to Tahiti.
