50,000 → 60,000
Without prior public announcement, minimum saver-level pricing increased. U.S.–Europe one-way examples moved from 20,000 to 25,000 miles (economy), 35,000 to 40,000 (premium economy), and 50,000 to 60,000 (business). Similar percentage increases applied on other long-haul bands. Flying Blue stated the change was paired with increased saver inventory. The change affects U.S. transferable currencies that transfer to Flying Blue (Amex, Chase, Citi, Capital One, Bilt, Wells Fargo).
