At the end of 2022 Flying Blue<\/a> announced<\/a> a new feature to its program: a free stopover on an airline award booked with Flying Blue Miles<\/strong>! Initially, this feature was reserved only for flights on Air France and KLM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s nowpossible to add a free stopover on Flying Blue partner flights<\/a><\/strong> too, giving access to a very wide range of possibilities and flight combinations for flying with miles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flying Blue is a fast-growing program, particularly in Canada following the partnership with American Express Membership Rewards<\/a> and the launch of a credit card with Brim<\/a>. In recent months, we have seen the addition of features such as the Flying Blue Family accountthe possibility for families to pay 25% less in miles<\/a> for children aged 2 to 11, and the launch of unbeatable promotional rates from Canada to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East (starting at 12,500 points).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s analyze this new feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
