My take: Flying Blue Transfer bonus is wonderful

I love using Flying Blue miles for the Air France KLM monthly promo awards. Those rewards, which are published monthly on the first weekday of the month, offer heavily discounted awards to Europe. Getting a 20% bonus to Flying Blue means that can you get to Europe with as few as 13,000 Membership Rewards® points.
