Selling Flying Blue miles: current value per 1,000 miles
Flying Blue is one of the most active programmes on the secondary market — mainly because Air France and KLM regularly discount routes by up to 25 % with Promo Rewards. Those promotions decide what your miles are worth when selling.
Price range per 1,000 miles
Based on completed deals on MilesMarket, Flying Blue miles trade in a clear corridor in 2026. Selling at the upper end requires a verified account and a fast delivery commitment:
- Lower band: roughly €9–11 per 1,000 miles for a plain point transfer
- Mid band: roughly €11–13 per 1,000 miles with reliable award booking
- Upper band: roughly €13–16 per 1,000 miles for business class awards with tight availability
- Promo Reward periods lift demand noticeably for a short window
Promo Rewards as a price driver
Air France and KLM publish Promo Rewards every month, discounting selected routes. Buyers then actively look for miles because the same amount suddenly covers a more expensive flight. Having an active listing during that window means selling faster and closer to the upper band.
Sell or redeem yourself?
Rule of thumb: work out the cash value of your best realistic award flight, subtract taxes and surcharges, and divide by the miles required. If the result is below the market price per mile, selling is the better decision — especially if your miles expire within the next twelve months.
How to sell Flying Blue miles
Selling runs in four steps: verify your account, create a listing with amount and delivery method, answer requests in chat, and deliver once the buyer has paid into the protected payment. Payout follows automatically after confirmed delivery.
