Hi saviox,

It seems the earning scheme of Blue Biz differs from the VR one. If I compare the current earning tables on ES and FR sites for AF, here is what I got :

  • Intercontinental return flights (direct/connecting)
First P-F : 300/300
Business Class J - C -D : 140/180
Business Class I - Z : 110/150
Premium Economy S - A - W : 70/90
Economy Flex Y - B - M : 38/50
Economy Restricted U - K - H - L : 24/30
Economy Restricted Q - T - N - R : 10/16
Promos & Groups G : 2/4
  • Intra-Europe return flights (direct/connecting)
Business J - C - Z : 80/80
Premium Economy Y - W - S - A : 40/40
Economy Flex B - M - U : 24/24
Economy Restricted K - H - Q - L - T - E : 12/12
Economy Promo N - R - G : 2/4

Versus

  • Intercontinental return flights
First P-F : 500
Business J - C -D - I - Z : 250
Premium Voyageur / Alizé W - S - A : 200
Voyageur 1 Y - B - M : 120
Voyageur 2 U - K - H - L : 50
Voyageur 3 Q - T - N - R : 20
  • European return flights
Premium Affaires J - C - D - Z : 120
Premium Eco W - S - A : 80
Voyageur 1 B - M - U : 60
Voyageur 2 K - H - Q : 30
Voyageur 3 T - E : 10
  • French domestic return flights
Voyageur 1 W - S - A - Y : 30
Voyageur 2 B - M - U - K - H - Q : 20
Voyageur 3 T - E : 10

So, for my concern :
- the very bad news : the CIO flights in Affaires will now make my account earn 140 or even 110 whereas it is now 250
- the unknown news : French domestic earning scheme is not precised on the ES site

And as the current VR redeeming scheme is (and has always been) a mystery, I cannot make a decision.

Last question : with the Blue Biz scheme, are the ticket booked taxrs and surcharges included and earn FB miles like it is the case in the VR scheme?
