Members of Air France-KLM’s Flying Blue Loyalty Program will now be able to earn Miles while taking rides with Uber in France and the Netherlands.
On Tuesday (July 16, 2024), Air France announced that the Air France-KLM Flying Blue Loyalty program has partnered with Uber, allowing members to earn Miles while taking rides in France and the Netherlands. Uber has now become the official ridesharing partner of Flying Blue, and members who link their account to the Uber app will be eligible to collect one Mile for every €1 spent on Uber rides. This increases to two Miles for every €1 spent on Uber for customers who take four or more trips each month.
In Tuesday’s announcement, Air France-KLM’s SVP of Loyalty ands President of Flying Blue, Benjamin Lipsey, said,
“We are thrilled to join forces with Uber to offer our members additional ways to earn Miles in their daily lives. At Flying Blue, our goal is to provide tangible benefits that fit the lifestyle of our 24 million members worldwide. With Uber as our exclusive ride-hailing partner, we are reinforcing our commitment to accompany Air France and KLM customers before, during, and after they travel with us.”
Also commenting on the new loyalty partnership, Uber Mobility’s Vice President, EMEA, Anabel Diaz, added,
“We’re excited to be able to help our customers collect Flying Blue Miles on their Uber trips. So, whether you’re a local resident taking trips to work or visiting from overseas, every trip you take with Uber is helping you get somewhere a little more exotic with Air France and KLM.”
This is just the latest in Flying Blue’s long list of member benefits, including the ability to earn/redeem Miles with over 40 airlines and 100+ commercial partners. Flying Blue Miles can be redeemed for the purchase of SAF, to reserve or upgrade flights, book hotel rooms, shop with participating brands, or to make a donation to select charitable organizations. Established in 2005, Flying Blue is the loyalty program for Air-France KLM, and currently has approximately 24 million members.
