Air France-KLM's [[frequent flyer program]], Flying Blue, awards miles based on the distance travelled, ticket fare and class of service. As well as KLM and [[Air France]], other airlines that adopted the Flying Blue programme include [[Transavia]], [[Aircalin]], and [[TAROM]]. Membership in the program is free. When flying, members earn Experience Points (XP) and Award Miles.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.flyingblue.com/en/programme?activeTab=introduction|title=The Flying Blue programme|publisher=Flying Blue|access-date=2 July 2023|archive-date=2 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230702113341/https://www.flyingblue.com/en/programme?activeTab=introduction|url-status=live}}</ref>

Experience Points are used to determine membership level and remain valid until the end of the qualification period, which lasts for 1 year from counting from the member's first flight. XP can be earned with KLM, Air France, Transavia, Aircalin, TAROM, and other SkyTeam partners. The Flying Blue programme is divided into four tiers: Explorer, Silver (SkyTeam Elite), Gold (SkyTeam Elite Plus) and Platinum (SkyTeam Elite Plus). The membership tier depends on the number of Experience Points earned and is recalculated each qualification period. Flying Blue privileges are additive by membership tier; higher tiers include all benefits listed for prior tiers. There is an additional fifth tier, Platinum for Life, which can be obtained after 10 consecutive years of Platinum membership. After the Platinum for Life status is obtained, re-qualification is not required.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.flyingblue.com/en/programme/more-info/status|title=Status & XP|publisher=Flying Blue|access-date=2 July 2023|archive-date=2 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230702113344/https://www.flyingblue.com/en/programme/more-info/status|url-status=live}}</ref>

Award Miles can be exchanged for rewards and expire after 24 months without flying.
