Book flight-related services

Use your blue credits to buy flight-related services. Flight-related services can be either selected during the reservation process or added later to an existing reservation.

Flight-related services can only be added to bookings with Air France and/or KLM operated flights. You can only book and pay with blue credits for flight-related services until the check-in opens (30 hours before departure or 24 hours before departure for flights from and to the US).  

How to add flight-related services to an existing reservation? 

Before booking flight-related services, ensure that your bluebiz number is already included in the reservation. Without it, blue credits will not be available as a payment option.

  1. Log in to your bluebiz account and go to the ‘Manage your trips' section.
  2. Choose either Air France or KLM.
  3. If your reservation isn't visible, click on ‘Add a booking’. If you're traveling, choose ‘For myself’ and add your booking code. If you're booking for someone else, choose ‘For someone else’ and add their booking code and last name.
  4. In the 'Your Bookings' section, you can choose flight-related services to add to each flight segment of your reservation.
  5. Proceed to the payment step.
  6. Blue credits will be available as a payment method. Select them and click ‘Continue to payment’. Once the payment is confirmed, you'll receive a notification.
