How do I transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Air France KLM Flying Blue?
To transfer your Chase points to Flying Blue, visit the Ultimate Rewards website, log into your account and select your Ultimate Rewards earning card (if you have more than one).
You should then see the dashboard page for the card account you selected. Click the “Travel” drop-down option at the top of the dashboard and select “Transfer points to a partner.”
You’ll be directed to a page showing all of Chase’s transfer partners. Scroll down and click Air France-KLM in the Airlines section.
To continue, click “Transfer Points” to access a page where you can enter and confirm your Flying Blue information. If you have previously transferred Chase points to Flying Blue, you only need to confirm your Flying Blue number. You can choose to transfer Ultimate Rewards points to your own Flying Blue account, or to the Flying Blue account of another family member listed on your account as an authorized user (spending card) or company owner (business card).
Enter the number of Chase Points you want to transfer to Flying Blue. Ultimate Rewards points must be transferred in 1,000-point increments, so you must transfer at least 1,000 points.
Click Next to go to the summary page, review the transfer details, and click Submit to confirm your transfer request.
Remember, transfers cannot be undone. So before you hit the “Submit” button, make sure Flying Blue is the destination you want your points to take into consideration for the upcoming redemption.
When should you transfer Chase points to Flying Blue?
Based on our December 2025 valuations, TPG currently values Chase Ultimate Rewards points at 2.05 cents per point and Flying Blue miles at 1.3 cents per point.
To maximize your Chase points, we recommend comparing Flying Blue redemption rates to the value you get when you book flights with cash or through the Chase Travel℠ portal.
Although Flying Blue uses dynamic pricing, here are some great ways to transfer and redeem Flying Blue miles:
- Flying Blue Promotional Rewards: Every month, Flying Blue publishes award discounts (up to 25% off) on select Air France and KLM routes, providing a great way to save on flights from the United States to Europe. Economy class flights can cost as little as 18,750 miles.
- European premium cabin: When booking through Flying Blue, awards on flights operated by Air France and KLM are dynamically priced, with prices to Europe starting at 25,000 miles per person one-way in economy, 40,000 miles in premium economy and 60,000 miles in business class. Business class prices are particularly good, and you can use tools like Seats.aero to search for available awards. (Note: After using the search tool, be sure to confirm award space with the airline.)
- Free stopover: Flying Blue allows free stopovers (no additional miles; taxes and fees apply) on one-way or round-trip awards (including partner itineraries). This is great if you want to add Amsterdam or Paris to your travel itinerary.
bottom line
Converting Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Flying Blue miles is easy and often instant at a 1:1 ratio.
Always find award seats first, weigh the value of cash or portal bookings, and keep an eye on promotional incentives or transfer bonuses to further increase your Chase points.
