Many people who booked Flying Blue business class award tickets to Europe for 1,500 to 13,500 miles one-way were frustrated to find out that their tickets had been canceled. Even more frustrating was the fact that many had transferred points from Amex, Bilt, Capital One, Chase, and/or Citi to book.
In a rare move, Flying Blue has agreed to reverse these transfers as first reported by Kyle Potter. The Head of Flying Blue, Ben Lipsey, confirmed this on FlyerTalk but you'll need to contact Flying Blue to do so. The U.S. contact number is +1-800-375-8723.
Reports indicate that phone agents may not have received word about this yet, so don't be surprised if you need to call back in a week.
