Flying Blue is the joint program of SkyTeam member Air France and KLM. They consider Tel Aviv to be part of Europe which can make for some decent deals.
-You can transfer AMEX, Chase, or Citi points to Flying Blue at a 1K:1K ratio or Starpoints to Flying Blue at a 20K:25K ratio.
You can view credit card offers by clicking on the AMEX tabs or “Other Credit Cards” tab on top of the DansDeals banner to view links for card offers. You can click on the link that says “View all card offers by issuing bank” and scroll down to view all card offers from the bank of your choice.
-Flying Blue charges fuel surcharges on their own flights but not on Delta flights. However availability is significantly better on their own flights than on Delta flights. When there is Delta availability though it’s significantly cheaper to book the Delta flights with Flying Blue miles than with Delta Skypesos.
-They normally charge 25K miles each way in coach to Israel but they run rotating monthly promo awards throughout the year that are valid for select cities.
-Promo awards are only valid on Air France or KLM.

-You need to book the current promo awards by 9/30.

Is there anyway to book with an unborn child?
@theberk, I’m not a pro, but I think that you can make a booking now, and then call once the child is beshah tova born, and add the baby to the reservation then.
Assuming you’re trying to book a seat for the baby, just use first name “Infant” with your last name and correct it later.
If you don’t want a seat you can add the baby later.
@theberk- I found a newborn baby can’t fly…
If I was to fly from NY, I saw the mileage rate would be 25,000 miles each way plus $144 is that a good rate?
Theberk, I don’t think so

@Hatikvah: that was a pun , that he only gives h/t from his forums since he doessnt follow Fb as much
which point currencies transfer to flying blue
@chinagel:
Read the post.
Fly to one of the cities on special. And fly from there. Yes, it means 2 stopovers. But for the business class deal, it’s most definitely worth it.
Last year when they had a 12.5k mileage promo I flew Air France to Israel. They are a first class airline.The kosher food served out of Paris is fresh, never frozen.
Does flying blue ever have a promotion like this in August, or should I just be happy with their 25,000 each way? Does it pay to wait? Also, how can you fly Delta on flying blue? Do you call a rep. at flying blue, because I don’t see any option online.
Just to clarify, I mean 25,000 to Israel
It is not showing me any dates open with miles… is that normal? From israel
I mean to the EU from israel
@dan- im trying to search for a flight using the air france tab. for some reason its not letting me
Dan;
Just checked my Flying Blue account and realized that they pulled out 35k five days ago due to expiration without any email notice etc.! Wanted to use for EY this year… Any idea how to get them reinstated? Thanks!!
