Before you sell: know the risk

Selling Flying Blue Miles is against the Flying Blue terms and conditions. The terms say the sale or barter of rewards or tickets may result in the termination of your account and the forfeiture of all your XP and Miles. We cannot promise how Air France, KLM or Flying Blue will respond to a sale.

Price guarantee: the price per mile we agree with you in writing by email is the price we pay once your miles transfer is complete.

Why Sell Air France-KLM Miles in 2026?

The Flying Blue program (serving Air France, KLM, and Transavia) is one of the most popular in the world, but it is also one of the most volatile. In 2026, holding a large balance of Flying Blue miles is a risk many savvy travelers are no longer willing to take.

  • Aggressive Dynamic Pricing: Flying Blue was an early adopter of dynamic pricing. In 2026, the cost of a Business Class seat to Paris or Amsterdam can fluctuate by over 200,000 miles in a single day based on “demand.”

  • Phantom Availability: One of the biggest complaints from Flying Blue members is “phantom seats”: awards that appear available on the website but fail to book at the final stage.

  • High Fuel Surcharges: Even “free” flights on Air France and KLM now come with carrier-imposed surcharges that can exceed $600–$900 for a round-trip ticket.

  • Strict Expiration Rules: Flying Blue miles expire after 24 months of inactivity. Unless you are flying a SkyTeam partner regularly, your miles are a ticking time bomb.

  2. Verification: We verify your balance, and send you the details of what we need by email.

Earn Air France Miles with Flying Blue Program Details: SkyTeam and Beyond

While Flying Blue is the loyalty program for Air France and KLM, its miles are valuable because they can be used across the entire SkyTeam Alliance, including Delta, Virgin Atlantic, and Korean Air.

However, actually finding those partner “sweet spots” has become nearly impossible for the average user in 2026. By selling your miles to The Points King, you are extracting the maximum wholesale value of your points without having to spend hours searching for non-existent award space.

Score XP To Score Top Status

Flying Blue status is earned with XP (experience points), which you collect by flying with Air France, KLM or partner airlines. Explorer is the entry level, Silver starts at 100 XP and Gold at 180 XP, with Platinum and Ultimate above them, and higher levels earn more Miles per euro spent. Thresholds and benefits change, so check the Flying Blue membership levels page for the current rules.

Flying Blue: Air France and KLM Miles: Sell Miles or Redeem

Flying Blue miles are mostly used for reward flights on Air France, KLM and partner airlines, and the miles needed for a seat change with the route, the date and demand. For current reward options, see Flying Blue’s own site.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Is it legal to sell my Flying Blue miles? Selling Flying Blue miles is against Flying Blue’s rules. Whether a sale creates legal exposure beyond that depends on the facts and where you live. This page is not legal advice.
  2. Can I sell miles that I transferred from my credit card? Absolutely. Once the points are in your Flying Blue account as miles, we can purchase them. This is a common way for our clients to turn their Amex or Chase points into cash.
  3. Will my Air France/KLM account be closed? It can. Flying Blue can close an account it links to a sale, and status goes with the account. See the risk box above.
  4. How long does it take to get my money? Most customers are paid within 15 minutes of completing the transfer.
  5. What is the minimum amount of miles I can sell? We typically require a minimum of 80,000 Flying Blue miles to initiate a cash buyout.
