An in-depth look at the Air France KLM Flying Blue Credit Card's welcome bonus, earning rates, and how it helps unlock Flying Blue elite status faster.
Given the greater focus in the blogging world on this path to making La Premiere bookable with miles, I can’t help but wonder how air france will adjust their La Premiere award pricing and availability down the road to maintain the very exclusive experience they insist on maintaining.
I have a feeling a lot of first class points chasers will be left holding the bag in a couple years.
@FoulOwl — I wouldn’t be surprised if, someday, we found out that Air France itself had been quietly nudging the blogosphere to keep discussing this long-shot path to First Class, because beyond that, there really isn’t much propping up the proposition.
The points on offer aren’t even enough for a Business Standard fare, the level you need for lounge access. The XPs don’t get you meaningful status on their own, either. Taken as a whole, it is one of the weakest SUBs out there.
@ FoulOwl -- LaPremier is severely overpriced anyway. Save your miles and fly J three times instead of F once. With much-improved business class seats these days, international first class is often (not always) not worth the additional cost.
