Meliá Hotels International has reached an agreement with the Flying Blue frequent flyer programme created by Air France and KLM to allow members to benefit from both loyalty programmes.

The new agreement allows members of Meliá Hotels International’s mas rewards programme to exchange points for Flying Blue miles at a rate of one mile for every six mas rewards points.

Flying Blue cardholders will also be able to redeem their miles in hotels operated by Meliá Hotels International and earn miles for each night made at qualifying rate: 500 miles at Gran Meliá, Meliá, ME by Meliá, INNSIDE by Meliá; and 300 miles at TRYP by Wyndham and Sol.

The agreement forms part of Meliá Hotels International’s business strategy to strengthen its position and competitiveness in international markets, forming partnerships with major travel companies to enhance efficiency and guarantee the best products for its customers.

Through the partnership with Flying Blue, Air France and KLM will join the Meliá Hotels International’s portfolio of partners, which already includes Iberia, Spanair, Air Berlin, Lufthansa, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines.
