As a priority traveller, you´ll save time and trouble throughout your entire journey with a wide range of Silver advantages. As a Flying Blue Silver member, you're recognised as an Elite member on SkyTeam airlines flights, which means access to many extra benefits. You can also enjoy preferential treatment and services offered by our SkyTeam partners, and by our other airline and non-airline partners.
Membership benefits
Every one of the four Flying Blue membership levels has its own unique advantages. Each level brings you different ways to get more from your journey. You´ll find that the benefits just get better with each membership level you reach. Read on to discover how it all works.
Enjoy a 50% Elite bonus as standard
Your Silver membership gives you an Elite bonus* of 50% more Miles for each flight you take with AIR FRANCE and KLM, our partners Air Europa, Kenya Airways and TAROM as well as our other SkyTeam partners.
