Partnership FlyingBlue / LeClubAccorHotels
hello
for your information
it looks like AFKL ended their offer with LCAH without any notice to end users (if yes let me know where it was announced)
i mentionned it in another thread related to pointshound , but it was possible to book hotels to your destinations directly from LCAH and earning extra FB miles (1 mile = 1€) while enjoying LCAH benefits
checked today and now you are redirected to the wonderful page of bookiing.c0m and there you will earn 1 Mile for every €1 spent (same as with LCAH) , but you can forget about your frequent hotel status , as booking is an OTA
[UPDATE] = looks like this offer is not available everywhere . at least not in germany , as my booking was paid from this country and the partnership between LCAH and FB apparently dont include germany
bye

It looks like it indeed. I just checked. Btw, it was already the case when using KLM website.
UPDATE: I checked again, this time using the AF app (not AF website).
Well, things haven't changed. We are still taken to an Accor page showing 1 mile earned per Euro spent.

AF redirects you to the country of departur when you want to modify your booking
however as my ticket was booked through an TA , i was redirected to the country of this agency , therefore germany

I logged on Airfrance.fr. Clicked on the hotel tab and was immediately offered booking.com
Gone is the offer for accorhotel website.
The app still offers it though, as I was writing . How long for, no one knows...
The least AF could do would be to inform FB members!

AF app takes you to Accor dedicated website airfrance.hotelandbook.com.
I called FB who told me that the partnership between Accor and FB was ongoing. They suggested I book via the app if I wanted both miles and Accor points and status benefits.
Go figure...

Spoke with FB who said they were processing the retro-claim.
Have you had any further news?

In my opinion , i guess they stopped it , but forgot to share the informations within FB department and also bluelink
the link https://airfrance.hotelandbook.com/ is still available because its still coded somewhere in the app (i guess) , from this link you will be able to book hotels as usual but the ''partnership FB LCAH : 1euro = 1 FB mile'' no longer exists
the only question is to know when they ended this , and then you may be able to retroclaim miles for bookings prior to this date

no , i feel so lazy to try cause its not worthy that much effort for 400 miles

However, I just tried a mock booking via the app. It sills says "1 mile for 1 € spent".
What a mess.
P.S. I booked the hotels for this summer via the AF website (not the app), so these bookings shoud be fine. It was a bit of money (more than 400 € ) so I will pursue and let you know.
