Book an upgrade

If you have booked your ticket through a travel agent, they can request payment in blue credits and upgrade your cabin class using the bluebiz designated travel agent service. If you haven't yet authorised your travel agency, you can find all the necessary information here.

Was the ticket booked online? It is possible to upgrade the seat with blue credits from the time of booking until the check-in opens. However, please note that it is only possible to buy an upgrade if your ticket allows for a change or upgrade.

The complete amount, including fare difference and applicable penalty fees, must be paid with blue credits, and it is not possible to combine them with any other form of payment. Payment with blue credits is subject to published rates.

How to book an upgrade?

  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. Click on ‘Change my flight’ at the bottom of the page.
  5. Select the flight you want to change and click ‘Search flights’.
  6. Select your new flights and proceed to the payment step.
  7. 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.
