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 Gold 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.
