What happened
Air France and KLM are adding 10,000 Flying Blue miles on new paid US economy tickets via Paris CDG or Amsterdam AMS, for bookings made August 19 through August 31, 2026 and travel completed by January 31, 2027. Those miles stack on regular base-fare accrual and can take up to 6 weeks after travel to post.
New economy tickets must be purchased on the Air France or KLM US sites and receive a new booking reference. The first outbound must start from an Air France or KLM US gateway and at least one segment must fly from that gateway to CDG or AMS. Air France or KLM must market and operate every qualifying flight. A Delta-marketed or Delta-operated flight does not count. Award tickets and miles-plus-cash bookings are ineligible. A change to an older reservation is not a new booking. The Flying Blue number has to be on the reservation before travel. A member earns the 10,000 miles only once. The member profile must show United States residency.
Book a new qualifying ticket by August 31, 2026 and finish travel by January 31, 2027 only if that trip is already required.
