With the new Flying Blue subscription, members can now accumulate up to 204,000 Flying Blue miles per year. The most affordable plan starts at €28 per month. These miles can be used for various rewards, such as a Promo Rewards ticket.

Save miles with a Flying Blue subscription

Flying Blue offers four subscription options for members:

  • The Starter plan: earn 2,000 miles monthly for €28.
  • The Smart plan: receive 5,000 miles per month for €65.
  • The Advanced plan: accumulate 10,000 miles monthly for €120.
  • The Complete plan: gain 17,000 miles per month for €187.

Miles are credited to your account each month, extending their validity as long as the subscription remains active. Once your subscription ends, the miles stay valid for another 24 months, provided you continue earning or redeeming activities to maintain them.

Furthermore, subscriptions can be taken on a month-to-month basis, so you’re not tied to a full year. Cancellations are managed through your Flying Blue account.

Save over 50% on flight costs

With the Starter plan, you pay around 1.4 cents per mile. The Smart plan reduces the cost to 1.3 cents per mile, while the Advanced plan lowers it to 1.2 cents per mile. The best value comes from the Complete plan, where you pay just 1.1 cents per mile.

These miles can be redeemed for Reward tickets, including recent options with SAS. For instance, a flight from Copenhagen to Aarhus costs 1,500 miles plus €29. With the Complete plan, those miles would cost approximately €16.50, making the total cost of the flight €45.50. This is a significant saving compared to the usual €94 ticket price, allowing you to save more than 50%.
