I have a reward flight on Air France booked for next year. When I manage my booking I see the option to pay for the SAF offset but there is no mention or offer of earning XP. I have no status, I'm just Explorer.
Were you ticketed by AF or KLM? Like does your ticket reflect that AF or KLM sold you the ticket (whether by cash or points)?
If so, you should call FB and ask them, as you should absolutely be able to pay for the SAF offset and earn XPs for it.
ty ben. you have the best articles on these matters, imo.
i am going for status with either delta or flying blue. they are in the same alliance. i could do either one with flying and spending. i fly mostly within the US, but go to europe, caribbean or asia about 5-6 time a year. i do like lounges and perks of status with flying. do you think one is better than the other?
thanks very much!
Same issue. Bought a reward ticket on AF directly from AF. I see the option to buy SAF but no XP associated. Looked both on website and in app. The line about XP is missing. I'm FB Gold (via Bilt).
