converting KLM miles

Has anyone got a (no doubt roundabout) way for me to move my KLM miles into Qualiflyer miles?

How would that be possible?!? I also wonder how long Qualiflyer will continue to exist. So why go to QF and not remain with KLM-FD?

The only thing you can convert your FD miles into is Worldperks miles. This might be usefull if they are about to expire.
You have to check if it is possible from your current address.

QF miles expire after 3 years, unless you are a (hard-to-achieve) Travel Club member.

FD miles don't expire any more if you fly once every 3 years.

That said, QF awards in Europe are more attractive if you don't live in Amsterdam, as KLM does not include connecting flights to AMS in their awards.

However there is no way I know of to transfer miles between the two programs.

Does anybody know of a way to move miles from KLM FD to the KLM partner Braathens' frequent flyer programme Wings or vice versa? I am a member of both programmes and would prefer to consolidate my miles into one account. I believe that the Braathens program is better suited for me as a resident of Scandinavia but the future for Braathens does not look that bright right now.

How do you convert your FD points into WorldPerks miles? Is it on a 1:1 scale or? One FD point is actually less then one worldperk mile

Welcome to the board Johan! As you might know SAS may buy Braathens in the near future so my advice to you is to keep your Wing miles and who knows they might be transferd into EuroBonus.
