Redeeming miles will be possible, starting March 31st, on all transavia.com flights to/from France. (source: Air France French travel agents portal)

Can I credit my HV EQMs/RDMs to another airline? Like AF or maybe even AS?

As in I want to earn miles on AF when flying on Transavia metal...

Not just use AF miles to redeem on Transavia...

Earning is not possible at all yet and I think the chance one can earn miles for HV on AS in the future is zero.

The only way to earn Flying Blue miles on Transavia flights is to book them under the KLM codeshare; very few Transavia routes/flights are available as KLM codeshares, and these can only be booked in conjunction with onward travel to/from Amsterdam on KL-metal flights.

Transavia has no frequent flyer programme, and no other FFP will give miles for flying on Transavia.

Any chance, in the near future, that AF will start selling codeshares on TO as KLM do on HV. (At the moment, if you try booking a trip, say EDI-(PAR)-FNC, on AF.com you are given a message that you should try transavia.)

In an interview with Zakenreis, HV exex Ten Brink confirmed spending FB miles on Transavia Holland will be possible but earning will not be. HV will come up with their own FFP.

Was that said as a joke? Because it sounds like one, from the passenger point of view...

I don't see why it should be a joke. They could perhaps tie in with the Dutch Airmiles scheme (which they left only last year, though it was only possible to spend Airmiles on HV, not to earn with them).

Besides, the existence of an FFP is one of their frequently asked questions.

Because they belong to a group that owns a FF program called FlyingBlue, with one of the largest members base in the world.
I know that neither HV or TO are part of SkyTeam, but as we can already use our FB miles for HV or TO flights, they could use FB as an FF program and grand award miles (with or without applying a level bonus, with or without status miles)...

+1. Creating a new FFP for HV would be a complete non-sense.

This link (in Dutch) has a list of the number of miles required. Bookable trough call center only. And unverified, no clue about fees, etc.

Thanks

The taxes for transavia are, on paid tickets, about the same as the taxes KLAF charges for awards. Eg, a recent Transavia ticket AMS-ATH contained 62 euro taxes and fees - 31 euro per segment. I assume that the same taxes will be charged for these award tickets.

The miles required for an award are currently 50% discounted, so at some points the numbers mentioned on the list will be doubled. What is not clear to me though, if these are one-way or roundtrip. If roundtrip it would be a (very) good deal. If one-way, outside of the 50% discount period, they would be priced just slightly cheaper than AFKL. Booking only through transavia call center (from monday).

Transavia ticket Dubai 20.000 FB miles
Transavia ticket Cape Verde 25.000 FB miles
Transavia ticket Austria 6.200 FB miles
Transavia ticket Switzerland 5.000 FB miles
Transavia ticket Czech Rep. 7.500 FB miles
Transavia ticket Germany 5.000 FB miles
Transavia ticket Denmark 6.250 FB miles
Transavia ticket Spain 6.250 FB miles
Transavia ticket France 5.000 FB miles
Transavia ticket Greece 7.500 FB miles
Transavia ticket Croatia 7.500 FB miles
Transavia ticket Hungary 7.500 FB miles
Transavia ticket Italy 6.250 FB miles
Transavia ticket Marocco 7.500 FB miles
Transavia ticket Portugal 6.250 FB miles
Transavia ticket Turkey 7.500 FB miles
