Transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards Points Into Flying Blue Miles And Get A 25% Bonus

Chase executives told me when they launched Ultimate Rewards point transfers to airlines that they decided to focus on strong partners with easy to understand transfer ratios and not on assorted transfer ratios and transfer bonuses.

But times are changing and Chase has their first ever Flying Blue transfer bonus.

Chase points normally transfer into Flying Blue miles at a 1K:1K ratio, but until 5/15 you can get 1,250 Flying Blue miles for every 1,000 Chase points.

For example you can fly in coach to Israel for 25K miles or 20K Chase points or business class to Israel for 55K miles or 41,250 Chase points.

You can also save an additional 25% for booking award tickets for kids under 12! That means kids can fly in coach to Israel for 18,750 miles or 14K Chase points or business class to Israel for 41,250 miles or 33K Chase points.

Flying Blue offers travel on Virgin Atlantic with lower fuel surcharges than if you book directly with Virgin.

Coach award calendar:

Business class from JFK to Tel Aviv for 55K miles:

Flying Blue charges 36K-36.5K miles to fly nonstop on Delta between JFK or Boston and Tel Aviv, so that will run under 30K Chase points each way. See this post for more.

Flying Blue also has rotating Promo Awards which discounts award tickets from rotating destinations to Europe.

Flying Blue is also offering free changes and cancellations due to COVID-19. Cancellations or changes normally cost 50 Euros for regular awards and isn’t normally allowed for Promo awards.

Flying Blue miles require earning activity every 24 months to keep them active, so transferring miles will also extend their validity. Miles won’t expire in 2022 due to COVID-19.

You can transfer AMEX, Capital One, Chase, or Citi points instantly to Flying Blue.
