AF KLM revamps loyalty programme

FROM April 1 next year,
Air France KLM will re-jig
its loyalty programme,
Flying Blue, and travellers
will earn miles for each euro
spent.
Ivory, Silver, Gold and
Platinum members will
receive 4, 6, 7 and 8 miles
respectively. The number of
miles earned will no longer
depend on the distance
flown between origin and
destination. Customers will
also be able to earn miles
when purchasing ancillaries.
The miles needed for
a ticket will be based on
origin, destination and flight
date.
Flying Blue is also
introducing experience
points, which determine the
level of membership and
are calculated according to
the type of flight (domestic,
medium-haul or long-haul)
and the travel cabin chosen
by the customer.
The airline says this will
make the accrual of miles
easier and clearer.
The balance of award
miles as of March 31, 2018
will remain unchanged on
April 1, 2018.
