\"buy<\/p>\n
I often talk to you about my travels and the Flying Blue Air France frequent flyer programme. Today I want to give you the reasons to buy Miles to help you travel a little more, or cheaper!<\/p>\n
You could travel in Business Class for much less!<\/h2>\n
Let’s take an example: A return trip from New York<\/a> to Paris in Business class costs $2880.94 in my simulation. The simulation starts on March 3rd, 2020, with a return on March 11th, 2020 as you can see on the screenshot below:<\/p>\n
\"price<\/p>\n
Then, I decided to do a simulation for the same flight and at the same time, but in Miles:<\/p>\n
\"miles<\/p>\n
If you have already some Miles, you can use them to book this flight as the value of 119,500 Miles is $1 195 + the taxes at \u20ac295,51, approximately $330. The total for this ticket in Miles is $1 525, less cheaper than paying for the ticket $2880.94.<\/p>\n
If you don’t have enough Miles from Air France Flying Blue<\/a>, you can buy the difference ! The limit of Miles you can buy per year is 75,000.<\/p>\n

* Annual limit for a Flying Blue Ivory or Silver member, for others, the limit is 100 000.<\/p>\n
You could get from 50% to 100% bonus Miles!<\/h2>\n
Depending on the period of year, the Flying Blue Air France<\/a> program<\/strong> offers incredible promotions as you can see on the example below:<\/p>\n
\"how<\/p>\n
If you had purchased Miles with this 75% promotion, you would have had to buy 70,000 Miles at \u20ac1,925 (Approx $2 150) and benefit from 52,500 free Miles credited<\/strong> to your loyalty account. In total, 122,500 Miles for the price of 70,000 Miles, crazy no ?<\/p>\n
For your information, tickets purchased with your Miles, the price of the checked bag is included!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
You have understood, in this case you want to travel in business class from New York to Paris<\/a> for \u20ac1,925 + \u20ac295,51 of airport taxes, i.e. a total for your business flight ticket will be \u20ac2,220.51 (Approx $2,480). With this\u00a0 promotion, you would have saved $400.94 on the purchase price of the ticket.<\/p>\n
Not clear ? The price to buy this ticket is $2,880.94, if you buy Miles with this 75% bonus promotion, and pay the taxes on the ticket paid with your Miles, the total will be $2,480.<\/p>\n
Don’t forget, there is a so many ways to earn Miles<\/a> ! Check my advices to know how to earn Air France’s Flying Blue Miles without flying<\/strong><\/a> !<\/p>\n
Flying Blue Rewards Promos<\/h2>\n
Well, in this article I give you a very advantageous example but this is not always the case. To save money, you will have to be patient and check for Air France’s prices and offers.<\/p>\n
Every 2 months, the Flying Blue website updates its Promo Reward’s page<\/a>. The offers cover a range of flights around the world, with a reduction in the usual amount of Miles required ranging from 20% to 50%.<\/p>\n
You can book a one-way ticket!<\/h2>\n
The other advantage of buying Miles if you need them, is to be able to book only a one-way ticket without surcharge!<\/p>\n
For example, a New York – Amsterdam one-way ticket, with no obligation to pay a huge surcharge (often more than a round-trip ticket).<\/p>\n
How to buy Flying Blue Air France Miles?<\/h2>\n
There is only one site in the world that manages this for almost all airlines and hotel loyalty programs.<\/p>\n
Several times a year, there are also promotions such as in October 2019, where 75% of Miles are added free of charge to the number of Miles purchased! To access the page dedicated to the purchase of Miles, click on the button below:<\/p>\n

Conclusion :<\/p>\n
It is much more rewarding to buy and use Miles for long-haul flights in Premium, Business or First class than on domestic or medium-haul flights.<\/p>\n
In addition, don’t forget that you can spend your Miles with all SkyTeam’s airline partners: Delta, KLM, AeroMexico, Tha\u00ef, Alitalia…<\/p>\n\n\n
