Air France-KLM Flying Blue Offering Double Miles & Status Credits

I don't think the operating airline necessarily has to be AF/KL to qualify for this promotion. From what I read in their email I believe the flight has to be marketed by AF/KL and booked directly via AF/KL.

I'm a lowly silver with KLM. I would love to take advantage of this - if I had a need to go somewhere.

TAP has a really good instant status match promotion as well.

@ Alex H:

Yes. And given the appalling status requirements of LH/LX/OS/SN, the TAP promotion offers an excellent path to Star-Alliance Status.

I was looking at my flights a few moments ago, and checking the usual changes for upcoming flights here in Europe. Of course, I saw all my expected XP's and miles to earn had doubled so checked the Flying Blue site, saw the promotion and was absolutely delighted as my remaining flights for the year will further extend my Platinum status for another 2 years, assuming all flights go ahead as planned (there are a few sets of flights booked for later in the year).

Hi, Ben, a few typos. The ivory level is now rebranded as explorer. The thresholds for earning status from scratch are the ones you noted. However, for retaining, it is 100 for silver, 180 for gold, and 300 for platinum.

@Ben I see one additional typo to what @Lloyd has spotted with the number of XP to retain status. You state you would "earn eight to 12 miles per EUR", though with double miles Platinum members will earn 16 miles per EUR. I only know this as my Mum who travels once a year is earning exactly half the number of miles I am for the same ticket.

Problem is no one wants US citizens. Let’s hope the EU ban will be over by years end to take advantage of this.

Great offer. Congratulations. Thank you very much.
