The different Flying Blue levels

Each Flying Blue level gets you different benefits. The more you travel, the more XP (Experience Points) you gain. These allow you to reach higher levels and enjoy the perks that go along with them!

How do XP work?

You gain XP on all eligible flights with Air France, KLM and SkyTeam partners. The number of XP you gain depends on your travel cabin and the flight type.

How can you maintain or upgrade your Flying Blue status?

Open all

You are a Flying Blue Explorer member

You have 12 months to gain enough XP to increase your level. After those 12 months (which begin as soon as you earn your first Miles or gain your first XP after joining the Flying Blue program) your Miles & XP counter starts back at zero.

Gain 100 XP to advance to Silver. We'll subtract the 100 XP from your XP counter and you’ll keep the rest. This will give you a head start towards becoming Gold or maintaining your Silver status.

When you become a Silver member, you'll get to enjoy this new status for 12 months.

You are a Flying Blue Silver member

You have 12 months (after a year of being Silver) to gain enough XP to maintain or increase your level.

Earn 100 XP to maintain your Silver status. After 12 months, we’ll subtract the 100 XP from your total and you’ll keep the rest.

If you earn 180 XP during these 12 months, you’ll move up to Gold. In this case, we'll subtract the 180 XP from your XP counter and you'll keep the rest. You'll get to enjoy this new status for 12 months.

If you earn less than 100 XP in these 12 months, you'll become an Explorer, 12 months into being Silver.

You are a Flying Blue Gold member

You have 12 months (after a year of being Gold) to gain enough XP to maintain or increase your level.

Earn 180 XP to maintain your Gold status. After 12 months, we'll subtract the 180 XP from your total and you'll keep the rest.

If you earn 300 XP during these 12 months, you'll move up to Platinum. In this case, we'll subtract the 300 XP from your XP counter and you'll keep the rest. You'll get to enjoy this new status for 12 months.

If you don't earn 180 XP in these 12 months, you'll become Silver, 12 months into your Gold status.
