Flying Blue, the [[frequent flyer program]] of Air France-KLM, awards members points based on miles travelled and class of service. Membership into the program is free. The program is divided into standard (Explorer), Elite (Silver) and Elite Plus (Gold and Platinum) statuses. Explorer is the basic level which is attained upon entry into the program. Elite status is attained by accruing a certain number of milesXP (Experience Points) within one calendar year. Elite Silver, Elite Plus Gold, and Elite Plus Platinum cards have added benefits. An invitation-only card called Club 2000 is attributed to some VIPs, celebrities and politicians.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.journaldunet.com/economie/tendances/cartes-prestige-dirigeants/2-club-2000-air-france.shtml |title=Les cartes dont raffolent les grands dirigeants : Club 2000 d'Air France |language=fr |publisher=Journaldunet.com |access-date=2 March 2014}}</ref> Officially, it provides the same benefits as Platinum status but numerous sources confirm it almost guarantees upgrade to Business or La Première.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pnc-contact.com/forum/hotesse-steward-cafe/vols-intercontinentaux-choix-des-sieges-surclassement-t23107.html |title=Vols intercontinentaux, Choix des sièges et surclassement .. : Le café des hôtesses de l'air et stewards |publisher=Pnc-contact.com |access-date=2 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222135229/http://www.pnc-contact.com/forum/hotesse-steward-cafe/vols-intercontinentaux-choix-des-sieges-surclassement-t23107.html |archive-date=22 February 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Flying Blue succeeded Air France's previous frequent flyer program, Fréquence Plus, which operated until the Air France-KLM merger in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airfrance.us/X02/en/local/voyageurfrequent/flyingblue/fblue_essentiel.htm?BV_SessionID=%40%40%40%400150872006.1232666306%40%40%40%40&BV_EngineID=ccdeadegfjggmddcefecekedgfndghk.0 |title=Air France Flying Blue |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120223211009/http://www.airfrance.us/X02/en/local/voyageurfrequent/flyingblue/fblue_essentiel.htm?BV_SessionID=%40%40%40%400150872006.1232666306%40%40%40%40&BV_EngineID=ccdeadegfjggmddcefecekedgfndghk.0 |archive-date=23 February 2012 }}</ref>{{primary source inline|date=December 2023}}
