Saving on your travel expenses with KLM BlueBiz

BlueBiz is KLM's loyalty program for any company without a current discount agreement with KLM. If a company participates in the BlueBiz-program it can save Blue Credits by flying KLM and participating partners. The only thing you have to do is communicate your BlueBiz (UCC) number (= Unique Client Code) to us and (if applicable) your Flying Blue number before you make your reservation and before the ticket is issued. You only need to do this once.

If your company doesn't have a discount agreement with KLM yet, then you're welcome to participate. There is no fee, you only need:

  • A registration number with the Chamber of Commerce (dependent on where your company is established).
  • An internet connection to register your company and manage your BlueBiz account.
