Transferring Air Miles to Flying Blue Miles, or vice versa
From Air Miles to Flying Blue; I say yes, the other way around I say no. When I told them that the only way to book airline tickets with Air Miles was to exchange them for KLM holidays vouchers, they were in a bad mood. Air Miles can now be exchanged for Flying Blue Miles. You get two Air Miles for the price of one Flying Blue mile. You do the math, I say with a wink.

Conclusion:
It is great that there is now an option to convert Air Miles into Flying Blue Miles. It is of course nice to be able to add extra Flying Blue Miles to your account, but the points also
count towards the activity of your Flying Blue account. If you transfer points from your Air Miles, you prevent your Flying Blue Miles from expiring (provided you don’t spend 24 months, which seems strong to me.) The other way, so it is less sensible to convert Flying Blue Miles into Air Miles, because the Flying Blue Miles are a lot more valuable.
