XP for CDG-GVA
The Flying Blue XP lookup tool says it's a Medium band flight, so 5/15XP.

But the flight arrives in the French sector at GVA, making it technically a domestic flight.

Has anyone flown this and can report what they earnt? Thanks!

Interesting. Basel/Mulhouse can have the same issue.

Only one code for GVA so you win 5/15 XP depending on your class eco/biz

No experience yet but am flying this Dec 24 (in Y), KLM app says I'll gather 15 XP (AMS-CDG-GVA-AMS) which would mean it is seen as international.

The question is not IF OP will earn XP, but how many, i.e. 2/5 if it's a domestic flight or 6/15 if it's considered international.

You mean do stay 2/5 in Economy or 6/15 in Business, depending on whether the flight is domestic or international?

On post #3 it is yet written... GVA Swiss airport is international only for FB. It is different for Mulhouse/Bâle: you have MLH(domestic) or BSL(international)
In GVA you may out on French side or on Swiss side. Luggages are delivered first on French side and then on Swiss side.
So 5XP in eco and 15XP in biz, each way.

I confirm what Delanotre said : GVA is all international for FB : 5 XP in Y, 15 XP in J, when flying CDG-GVA or return.

Great. That's what I was assuming and had based on my expected year-end XPs on.

That was true prior to the move to XPs but it is no longer true: you now get domestic XPs even on CDG-BSL and not just on ORY-MLH.

For CDG-GVA,, OTOH and as noted in several posts, international XPs are awarded.

Good to know about CDG-BSL. I never thought about it and just assumed you got 5 XPs on that route.
Geneva is definitely an international flight, always has been.

For CDG-BSL, I can confirm I got 5 XP each way some weeks ago!
