    Back to Flying Blue
    As a priority traveller, you'll save time and trouble through your entire journey with a wide range of Silver advantages. Silver membership gives you Elite status which means access to many extra benefits.

    Enjoy a 50% Elite bonus as standard

    Flying Blue

    Your Silver membership gives you an Elite bonus* of 50% more Miles for each flight you take with AIR FRANCE, KLM, our partners Air Europa, Kenya Airways, Aircalin and TAROM as well as our other SkyTeam partners.

    Check our Miles Finder to see how many extra Miles your next flight could bring you.

    * The bonus is calculated from your Award Miles without any Service Class bonus. Elite Bonus Miles do not count as Level Miles.

    More award ticket flights

    As a Flying Blue Silver member, you qualify for award tickets that are exclusively reserved for Elite members on AIR FRANCE flights.

    • Elite Award
      The Elite Award is available on certain flights, for 115% of the Award Miles usually required for a Classic Award in the same cabin class.

    • Flex Award
      In Business Class and First Class, Flex Awards are only available to Elite members like you. This means that even if there is no award seat available, by simply doubling the Miles required, you will get the seat you want on the flight you want.

    Carried over Level Miles

    Get your year off to a flying start – make your Level Miles go further by carrying them over to next year.* Instead of resetting your Miles balance to zero, Flying Blue Silver members can now start the year with a positive account, as Level Miles earned above your level threshold will be saved after your Annual Level Check. This makes it easier for you to retain your current membership and achieve enough Level Miles for an upgrade!

    * You must have made at least one Qualifying flight during the year.
