    Gonna give this thread a go, I have about 26,000 air miles expiring soon and little chance I will be flying anywhere to extend their life.
    They are Flying Blue (Air France/KLM).

    Willing to gift/swap to the first person to post back and PM me.
    Could be an idea for others too if they have the various airline miles with no intent to make use of them or expiring soon.

    I'm after US Airways or Delta miles if anyone has any to spare.

    EDIT You need to have an active Flying Blue account to receive my 'gift' and as the expiry is 30.04.15 you need to take an Air France or KLM flight before 30.04.15 to avoid their expiry date, else this is just a waste

    Nothing, you'd need to be adding them to existing balance, hence they are going to an active Flying Blue member to bump up their upgrades or options

    You can get some good deals though, got a return trip to USA for €150 + 18,000 BA miles a few months ago.

    I recently priced upgrading to business on an inbound to DUB (on DL using flying blue mileage) & it was 25,000 in total - on a Y fare.
