Air France KLM Flying Blue has been growing in prominence in North America over the past few years.
At a time when many programs are stripping away value and removing features, Flying Blue has been making itself felt on various fronts, warranting greater attention from Miles & Points enthusiasts.
Here are 6 reasons why we love Air France KLM Flying Blue, as well as a few notes about what we think could make the program even better.
