Flying Blue is changing how award tickets work on Air France and KLM starting September 8, 2026.

Instead of one award ticket with one set of rules, you’ll now see three options: Light, Standard, and Flex.

The good news is that Flying Blue is keeping its lowest award prices. The catch is that the cheapest Light fare comes with fewer benefits, especially if you don’t have elite status. On Business Class awards, that can mean fewer checked bags, no lounge access, paid seat selection, and no changes or refunds.

In this video, I break down how the new Light, Standard, and Flex fares work, what they mean for Business Class redemptions, whether Flex is actually worth the extra miles, and why Flying Blue elite status becomes more valuable under the new system.

I also look at the bigger industry trend, as more loyalty programs start making award tickets behave more like cash fares, with different fare types, restrictions, and increasingly dynamic pricing.

For Canadians, the good news is that partner awards remain unchanged, which means many of our favourite Flying Blue redemption strategies still work the same way.
