Air France KLM have announced changes to their Flying Blue program that will take place on April 1, 2018.

Hit 100 XP in a rolling 12 month period and you’ll get Silver status, 180 for Gold or 300 for Platinum. The key term now is rolling 12 month period, rather than calendar year. This will kick in on April 1.Mileage expiry is also changing, the 24 month rule stays in place but all miles earned remain valid if you fly with Air France KLM or other SkyTeam airlines or use a Flying Blue credit card once every 2 years however miles earned on their own from flying non-SkyTeam partners, car rentals, hotels etc…How to get to 3 travel spots using credit card points
