  • Points may be earned on KLM marketed/operated flights and points will be issued to Flying Club members when travelling in the classes listed.

  • If you fly on an KLM operated flight marketed by any other SkyTeam member airline (including Virgin Atlantic), you will earn as per the marketing airline.

  • Points will not be earned for travel in any other class not listed above

  • No points are earned on Reward Flights with partner airlines.

  • Points accrual rates and Terms and Conditions are subject to change at any time without prior notice according to partner airline’s policy and circumstances.
