Air France-KLM's Flying Blue has added a bigger size to its monthly mileage plan. Subscribe to Miles now has a Complete+ tier that adds 30,000 miles to your account each month for $402. One Mile at a Time and LoyaltyLobby both reported the new tier on October 26, 2026.

Subscribe to Miles first launched in late 2024, according to One Mile at a Time. The idea is simple. You pay a fixed amount each month, and you get a fixed number of miles in return.

The five tiers

With Complete+, there are now five tiers. One Mile at a Time lists these U.S. prices, which include taxes and fees:

TierMiles a monthPrice a monthCost per mile
Starter2,000$34.201.71 cents
Smart5,000$79.001.58 cents
Advanced10,000$146.001.46 cents
Complete17,000$227.801.34 cents
Complete+30,000$402.001.34 cents

Note that Complete+ does not lower the price per mile. It costs the same 1.34 cents as the Complete tier. What it adds is volume: you can build a large balance faster without stacking plans. InsideFlyer lists the Complete+ price in Europe as €330 a month.

The rules

Flying Blue's terms, which are hosted by points.com, set out how the plan works:

  • Three-month minimum. You must stay subscribed for at least three months. After that, you can cancel from your subscription page.
  • Cooling-off period. You can withdraw within 14 working days and get a full refund, as long as you haven't used the miles. After that, the purchase can't be refunded.
  • Timing. Miles are credited within 72 hours, then each month after that.
  • No status. Bought miles don't count toward Flying Blue elite status.
  • Expiration. Your miles don't expire while you are subscribed. After you cancel, they last 24 months, or 36 months for residents of Germany.
  • Pricing can change. Air France-KLM can change the price of the plan.

The charge is processed by points.com, so it shows up on your statement as "FlyingBlueMiles by PTS." That means it won't code as airfare, so cards that pay extra on airline purchases won't give you their bonus rate.

Is it a good deal?

At 1.34 cents per mile, the top two tiers beat Flying Blue's usual sales. One Mile at a Time says that when Flying Blue runs promotions on buying miles, the bonus usually tops out at about 80%. That works out to about 1.69 cents per mile.

Still, buying miles only makes sense when you have a clear use for them. Three months of Complete+ costs $1,206 for 90,000 miles. That is a large outlay, so price out the award you want first. Flying Blue award prices change with demand, and taxes and fees on many awards are paid in cash on top of the miles.

For most people who collect bank points, transfers are still the cheaper path. Flying Blue is a transfer partner of several major U.S. bank programs. Amex, for example, has a 25% bonus on transfers to Flying Blue through October 31. If you can earn the miles that way, you may not need to buy them at all.

Where the plan can help is with a planned trip that is a few months out. If you are short of an award and know when you want to book, a short subscription could top off your account at a known price.
