How to Import Your Flying Blue Data
Flying Blue hands you a PDF activity statement, not a clean data export, and typing every flight, mile and XP entry into a tracker by hand is exactly the busywork you want to skip. The good news is you do not have to. With the right statement and a few minutes, your full earning history loads into SkyStatus and starts working for your status forecast. This guide walks you through it, including the one download mistake that quietly leaves half your history behind.
Quick Summary
Download your Flying Blue activity statement PDF, upload it to SkyStatus, and follow the guided wizard to review and import your flights, miles, and XP data.
Due to variations in PDF formats, a 100% accurate import is not always possible. Always review your transactions after importing and manually adjust or delete any incorrect entries. The review reconciles your statement so transactions are not double-counted, but always check after an import.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Download your PDF from Flying Blue
- Go to flyingblue.com and log in

Upload PDF to SkyStatus
In SkyStatus, click Import Data and select your downloaded PDF file.
Microsoft Azure Document Intelligence reads your PDF and extracts the text and tables. Your import is then checked by our team before it goes live, and you receive an email when it is ready. This usually appears within about 24 hours.
Review in the Import Wizard
The import wizard guides you through several review steps:
- Verify Header: Check that your miles balance and XP match your Flying Blue account
- Set Qualification Cycle: Choose your cycle start date and any rollover XP/UXP
- Review Current Cycle: Select which transactions to import for XP tracking
- Review History: Select historical transactions for miles tracking

Your PDF is sent to Microsoft Azure Document Intelligence (in the EU) for text extraction. Azure processes the document transiently and does not keep the file. SkyStatus stores the original PDF and the extracted data securely (private and access-controlled) so your import can be verified and corrected before it goes live. You can remove stored import files under Settings > Privacy, and you can request deletion at any time.

Why Azure Document Intelligence?
Flying Blue PDFs have complex layouts with tables, multiple columns, and varying formats across languages. Azure Document Intelligence reads such documents and extracts the text, then your import is verified before it goes live:
- Reliable extraction: Reads table structures and relationships between data
- Multi-language: Reads statements in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish
- Format resilient: Handles PDF variations and layout changes over time
- EU hosted: Processing in the EU for GDPR compliance
What Gets Imported
SkyStatus extracts from your statement:
- Flight dates and routes
- Miles earned and spent
- XP and UXP earned per activity
- Cabin class and operating airline
- Bonus XP (welcome bonus, promos, etc.)
- Partner transactions (credit cards, hotels, car rentals)
- Miles purchases and transfers
Troubleshooting
Import fails or shows error
- Make sure you're uploading a PDF file, not an image or screenshot
- Try downloading a fresh PDF from Flying Blue
- Check your internet connection — the PDF needs to be sent to Azure for processing
- Very large PDFs (100+ pages) may take longer. Be patient during processing.
Data looks incomplete or wrong
- Did you click "More" on Flying Blue until ALL activities were loaded?
- Make sure you downloaded the Activity Statement, not a booking confirmation
- Verify the miles/XP in the header step match your actual Flying Blue balance
Processing takes a long time
| PDF Size | Expected Time |
|---|---|
| Small (1-10 pages) | 5-15 seconds |
| Medium (10-50 pages) | 15-45 seconds |
| Large (50-100+ pages) | 45-90 seconds |
If processing seems stuck for more than 2 minutes, try refreshing and uploading again.
The import feature is designed as a kickstart to quickly populate your account. It is not a replacement for careful data management. After every import, review your transactions in the Transaction Ledger and correct any errors.
FAQ
Is my PDF data safe?
Yes. Your PDF is sent to Microsoft Azure Document Intelligence (in the EU) for text extraction. Azure processes the document transiently and does not keep the file. SkyStatus stores the original PDF and the extracted data securely (private and access-controlled) so your import can be verified and corrected before it goes live. You can remove stored import files under Settings > Privacy, and request deletion at any time.
What languages are supported?
SkyStatus reads Flying Blue statements in six languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. It is most reliable in English, French, and Dutch. Other languages, including Portuguese, are not supported. If your statement is in an unsupported language, switch your flyingblue.com account language to English, French, or Dutch and download the PDF again.
What if I import the same statement twice?
SkyStatus reconciles your statement against what you already imported, so transactions are not double-counted. When you upload a PDF that overlaps with an earlier import, the review accounts for what is already in your account.
Is the import 100% accurate?
No. The import is a kickstart to quickly populate your account. Due to variations in PDF formats, 100% accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The wizard lets you review and deselect incorrect items before importing.
Can I import without using cloud services?
The PDF import requires Azure for accurate parsing. If you prefer not to use cloud services, you can manually add flights via "Add Flight" in the Flight Ledger, or import a JSON backup file via Settings.

Import process may vary based on PDF format changes by Flying Blue. SkyStatus is not affiliated with Air France-KLM or Flying Blue.
Where do I find my Flying Blue statement PDF?
Log in to your Flying Blue account at flyingblue.com, navigate to your account overview, and look for Activity Statement or Monthly Statement. You can download statements for specific months or date ranges as PDF files. Statements are typically available within a few days after the end of each month. Save them to your device before uploading to SkyStatus.
How long does the import process take?
Uploading the PDF takes a few seconds. Azure Document Intelligence then reads it and extracts the text. Your import is checked before it goes live, so it does not appear right away. It usually appears within about 24 hours, and you receive an email when it is ready. The data then shows in your dashboard.
Can I import Flying Blue statements from previous years?
Yes. SkyStatus supports statements from any date, going back as far as your Flying Blue membership. Historical statements are particularly useful for building a complete flight history and tracking your lifetime UXP progress toward Ultimate status. The review reconciles each statement so older transactions are not double-counted against data you have already imported from more recent statements.
What Data Gets Imported
The Flying Blue PDF parser extracts several types of data from your activity statement. Understanding what gets imported helps you verify the results in the review wizard.
Transaction details
Each transaction row includes the posting date, description (typically the flight route or earning activity), miles earned or spent, and XP earned. The parser identifies flight segments separately from non-flight earning activities such as credit card spend, shopping portal purchases, or hotel partner earnings.
Statement summary data
The parser also extracts your total miles balance, total XP for the statement period, your Flying Blue membership status, and your member name. This summary data is used for verification purposes and helps SkyStatus confirm that the individual transactions match the official totals on your statement. Any discrepancy between the sum of individual transactions and the statement total is flagged for your review.
Automatic categorization
Imported transactions are automatically categorized based on their description. Flight transactions are linked to your flight log with origin and destination airports. Non-flight transactions are categorized as credit card, shopping, hotel, or other earning types. This categorization powers the analytics dashboard where you can see your earning patterns over time.
