Alitalia is one of the last resorts for Flying Blue mileage runs in Europe. Flying Blue members earn miles on all Alitalia operated flights with a SkyTeam prefix. You earn in Economy 100% of your actual flown miles. For national flights in Italy you get 500 FB miles and for intra EU flights you get 750 miles. Only U and Z class are excluded from earning miles. Correct me if I miss something. My question is: ‘is a Flying Blue mile worth 2 € cent?’

Here we go 1: 2.09 € cent per mile.
