Flying Blue miles to book for all passengers in the same booking

You should speak directly with Blue's reservations. FF usage can get tricky. I doubt if anyone here would have first hand experience. "benefits are not transferable to other passengers in your booking. That sure sounds like your cannot transfer to another person. You need a direct answer.

I agree with Frank. For what it’s worth, I have called Flying Blue before when I had a problem, and they answer promptly and are very friendly and very helpful. They should be able to give you the answer to your question.

You can use Miles for both passengers. Flying blue benefits include things like free luggage, potential upgrades, etc.

But I’m a little concerned on that I have 0 miles part. you’re looking right now and apparently you’re going to have to transfer miles I assume from a credit card?( If you’re buying the miles from somebody run now.). The problem is none of this is instantaneous. So you see flights you like now for the miles you can get now and you transfer them that does not mean they will be there by the time all that transaction takes place. I booked a flight on Delta about a week ago round-trip to Europe for 61,000 miles. I went back two days later to see about changing it. It was over 100,000. (I’m sticking with the one I originally booked.)

The problem is none of this is instantaneous.

Some of it can be. A couple of days ago I priced award tickets on Iberia, transferred from Chase, logged out of and into Iberia again, and booked the tickets, all in under 5 minutes. I've done the same with BA, United, and Turkish. I've transferred to FlyingBlue, but that was years ago and I don't recall the turnaround.

onemileatatime.com has posts that he updates regularly about the speed of these transfers, which certainly can vary based on both the origin source and destination program.

What Carol said. Depending where you are transferring the miles from it can several days or even a week..

On a somewhat related subject, I found out the hard way this past year that if you have both a Delta Skymiles acct and Flying Blue acct that Delta won't let you get credit for both on code share flights - Delta/KLM/AF. If it's all purely Delta then I would get all the miles but if any of the flights were KLM or AF I'd get Flying Blue miles for those legs but not Delta Skymiles. I literally had to cancel my Flying Blue acct. I have a few months left to spend those miles but they aren't a lot and will likely expire before I can use them for anything.

CJ: The loyalty number on the boarding pass indicates where the miles get credited. If it isn’t there ask at the gate for them to check in their system.

Incidentally, I bought on Delta.com a ticket starting KLM then connecting to Delta and all the miles ended up on Delta.com. Even though I have a Flying Blue account and could see the flights in that app.

As already stated, there’s no issue using Flying Blue points for flights for others, whether you are on the itinerary or not.

I have transferred Chase points to both BA and Virgin Atlantic and the transfer was instantaneous.

Thanks all for the info.
Yes, I transferred points from Chase, and it was instantaneous. Used the transferred points (aka miles) for both tickets, no problem.
