IN A WORLD where international travel is becoming increasingly commonplace, finding affordable award redemption tickets can often be a cumbersome task with frustratingly low success rates. For those of you who have experienced these frustrations, allow Flying Blue to be your shining light.

The combined frequent flyer program of KLM and Air France is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Not only are Flying Blue miles among the easiest to accrue, but the program is also one of the most accessible gateways to award travel across Europe. The program itself operates on a dynamic pricing model, meaning mileage prices for award tickets constantly fluctuate and typically increase during periods of high demand.
