Promo Rewards are only available on flights operated by Air France and KLM.

Once you find a flight you’d like to book, select it and follow the on-screen prompts to complete your reservation. If you plan to transfer credit card rewards to book this, make sure you find award space first; then, place your ticket on hold and transfer your points or miles.

How to earn Flying Blue miles
Boosting your Flying Blue balance is easy because the program partners with major programs that have transferable points and miles.
You can transfer rewards at a 1:1 ratio from American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Wells Fargo Rewards and Citi ThankYou Rewards. You can also transfer Marriott Bonvoy points at a 3:1 ratio, with a 5,000-mile bonus for every 60,000 points you transfer.

Based on our tests, Amex, Bilt, Capital One, Chase, Wells Fargo and Citi transfers should post almost instantly. However, our test transfer from Marriott took three days to arrive in our Flying Blue account. Because of this, points and miles from the other providers listed are your best bet if you hope to book right away.
