Flying Blue, the loyalty programme of Air France, KLM, Transavia, Aircalin, Kenya Airways, and TAROM, and Rocket Travel by Agoda launched a new platform that provides Flying Blue customers with more options to earn and use points on hotel stays. With this launch, Rocket Travel by Agoda has expanded its reach globally, as Flying Blue became Rocket’s second white label partner in Europe.
Since launch, bookings have increased by 200%. The customer-centric and partner-branded website, the improved user experience, the expanded option to earn and redeem Miles, and the emphasis on delivering quality support are some of the key reasons why this partnership has been successful.
Customers can now book their hotel accommodation through hotelsformiles.flyingblue.com, choose from over 400,000 properties worldwide, and earn up to 10,000 Miles per night on every hotel reservation. The customized technology also allows users to boost their rewards if they choose to do so and earn even more Miles.
Through the partner-branded website, customers can also pay for their hotel reservation using Miles or a combination of Miles plus money. In addition, besides booking their hotel accommodations on Rocket’s white label solution, Flying Blue customers also have the option to earn Miles when booking with Rocket’s partner and parent company, Booking.com, providing them with flexibility and freedom to plan their travel needs.
At Rocket Travel by Agoda, the customer is the core of the business. Therefore, Rocket understands that focusing on providing quality customer support is the foundation for any successful partnership. Besides assisting customers via email and phone, with the launch of hotelsformiles.flyingblue.com, Rocket expanded its customer service assistance to include French language support for native French speakers.
Both teams are thrilled to see such results in a short time and will continue working to support the growth of our partnership while fostering true collaboration and effective communication.

Jim Thompson, the iconic Thai lifestyle brand, aimed to expand its visibility among a diverse, global travel audience. To do so, they needed to place their promotional offers in front of travelers who were actively planning their trips. However, advertising channels tend be imprecise, often showing ads to a general audience instead of people who are actively planning a trip. This can lead to wasted budget and missed opportunities to connect with interested travelers.
ShopBack is Asia-Pacific's leading shopping and rewards platform. They connect over 50 million users with 15 million merchants and partners, driving billions in sales for them annually. Given their current scale, it's hard to believe that just over a decade ago, ShopBack only started to set out to help people across the region save money with cashback on their everyday shopping. Very quickly after launching, ShopBack identified an opportunity to launch a dedicated travel vertical. Their goal for the vertical was to provide strong travel offerings that would drive high booking volumes for travel partners, enabling ShopBack to earn from these referrals and pass higher cashback deals back to their members. However, launching a travel vertical presented unique challenges for a platform primarily known for retail cashback. To win member confidence for these higher-value travel purchases and provide a truly competitive service from day one, ShopBack knew they needed two key elements: access to a vast selection of global travel options and the backing of an established, trusted name in the travel industry. This was about more than just adding inventory it was about ensuring a reliable and appealing booking experience that members would trust. “We needed a partner who could offer both scale and trust. Rocket Travel by Agoda gave us global reach with local credibility, which was key to winning our users’ confidence early on.” - Hazel Then, Regional Head of Commercial, ShopBack
