Flying Blue and Uber announce partnership offering Flying Blue miles on rides

Flying Blue, the loyalty programme of the Air France-KLM Group, and Uber, the world’s largest ridesharing company, today announced a new strategic partnership to allow Flying Blue members to earn Miles when using Uber in France and the Netherlands.

Starting today, Uber will become the official ride-hailing partner of Flying Blue. Members who link their account in the Uber app, will now be eligible to collect 1 mile for every €1 spent on Uber rides, rising to 2 miles for every €1 spent for Uber customers who take four or more trips each month.

The partnership will be available to local residents and visitors alike who connect their Flying Blue account in the Uber app, and book rides in any city across France and the Netherlands.

This new partnership adds to Flying Blue’s wide-ranging list of member benefits, including the ability to earn and redeem Miles with 40+ airlines and 100+ commercial partners. Flying Blue Miles can be used to purchase alternative aviation fuel (SAF), reserve or upgrade flights, book hotel rooms, shop with participating brands or donate to charitable organizations.

Air France-KLM Group is one of the leading airline groups in Europe and counts more than 24 million Flying Blue members who will be eligible to take advantage of the tie up with Uber.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Uber to offer our members additional ways to earn Miles in their daily lives” said Benjamin Lipsey, SVP Customer Loyalty and President of Flying Blue at Air France and KLM. “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.”

“We’re excited to be able to help our customers collect Flying Blue Miles on their Uber trips,” said Anabel Diaz, Vice President of Uber Mobility, EMEA. “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.”

All Flying Blue members will be able to collect Miles through Uber app as of 16 July 2024.
