How to book Delta flights with Flying Blue

1. Find the Delta flight you want and note the flight number and date.
2. Search the same flight with Flying Blue. Flying Blue says a reward ticket is booked by a member, paid in miles, and can be used on Air France, KLM, and Flying Blue airline partner flights. Those rules do not name Delta or a Delta award price. Confirm the operating carrier is Delta before you transfer.
3. If the seat shows and the operating carrier is Delta, transfer bank points to Flying Blue. Confirm the seat first, so you never move points you can't use.
4. Book the seat and check that the confirmation shows the Delta flight number.

Flying Blue's published reward chart says its prices are for Air France and KLM operated flights. It is not a Delta price list, so this page does not copy those miles into a Delta table. If the search does not show a Delta operated flight, stop. How to book Delta with miles is the map of SkyMiles and both partners. Book Delta with Virgin Atlantic is the other partner guide, and Delta SkyMiles to dollars is what SkyMiles themselves are worth.

What you pay on top of the points

Flying Blue says a reward ticket is subject to airport and security taxes and carrier surcharges, and miles do not cover those amounts. Source: [Flying Blue, reward tickets](https://www.flyingblue.com/en/spend/flights/rewards), checked November 9, 2026.

That rule is for reward tickets in general. It does not say Delta awards have no carrier surcharge, and it does not give a dollar amount. The cash line on the booking screen is the number to use.

This page does not include a worked booking. A dated Delta itinerary, with miles and taxes, is not in the repo, and Flying Blue's reward page does not publish one.

Is it worth it?

We value Flying Blue miles at 1.45 cents per point (The Points Guy, November 2026). Divide the cash fare, minus the taxes you pay on the award, by the points the award costs. If the result beats that number, the booking is a good use of your points. If it doesn't, pay cash and keep the points.

Run your own balance through the points value calculator.

Run that math on the seat you found, not on a remembered Delta sale. Promo reward prices on the Flying Blue page are for Air France and KLM flights to and from Europe. They are not a promise for a Delta domestic seat.

Changing or cancelling

Flying Blue says a reward ticket follows its program rules, the fare rules, and the operating carrier's conditions. The reward ticket page does not publish a Delta change fee or a cancellation fee.
