The Le Manoir Group, leader in the luxury gastronomy market in Romania, owned by the Romanian entrepreneur Cristian Preotu, becomes a partner of the Flying Blue program of Air France, KLM and TAROM airlines.
Le Manoir Group now offers all Flying Blue members an authentic "art de vivre à la française" experience that embodies the specific French atmosphere, elegance and emotions.
The partnership announced today will enable Flying Blue members earn extra Miles for every purchase carried out at Le Manoir Group locations, both in person and online at www.lemanoir.ro (for every euro spent, members receive 1 Mile). To accumulate and credit accumulated Miles, Flying Blue members must present their Flying Blue card at the cash register or enter it at checkout on the website. Miles will be validated as soon as possible.
At the Comtesse du Barry stores, Flying Blue members can purchase products from famous brands such as Michel Cluizel, Maxim's de Paris, Delamain, Miraval, Bellevoye, etc., which satisfy even the most demanding tastes.
Flying Blue guests can truly feel a fine dining experience in Le Bistrot Francais, the first restaurant in Eastern Europe to join the Relais & Chateaux network. The French cuisine, the cellars – which include more than 700 labels of wine and champagne – and the imposing building made Le Bistrot Francais a romantic place for guests.
Flying Blue members are invited to visit Le Manoir Gourmet Market, inaugurated in February 2023 - the largest space dedicated to gourmet products, with an area of 400 square meters. It includes a butcher shop, a patisserie-boulangerie, a sushi bar but also many grocery products, wines and a very wide range of organic products.
Miles Flying Blue can also be accumulated in the stores - PETIT BATEAU and KIDS AROUND or in the Eurocave store - a generous space for wine sales and also a place where tasting events can be organized.
"We are delighted to have a new local partner and to strengthen the leadership position of the Flying Blue program while offering new luxury experiences to our Flying Blue members," he says Răzvan Răduț, Country Sales Manager Air France, KLM in Romania.
"As a frequent user of the Flying Blue program, I fully understand its benefits and am delighted to share these benefits with our customers at Comtesse du Barry and Le Bistrot Francais, part of the Le Manoir Group. In addition, I would like to thank Air France, on behalf of our loyal customers, for the willingness to offer such a valuable benefit: every euro spent with us will be converted into 1 Mile in the Flying Blue program," says Cristian Preotu, CEO of Le Manoir Group.
BT Flying Blue Card: More Miles for Flying Blue loyalty program members using BT Flying at Le Manoir Group locations.
Owners of the BT Flying Blue credit card, issued by Banca Transilvania in partnership with Air France, KLM and TAROM, will receive extra Miles if they choose to pay with the credit card at Le Manoir locations. Thus, both partners will grant Miles: Banca Transilvania grants for payment with the BT Flying Blue card, and Le Manoir for all purchases from the locations mentioned above.
The benefit is twofold because both partners grant Miles: Banca Transilvania grants Miles for payment with the BT Flying Blue card and Le Manoir Group for all purchases from their location by Flying Blue members.
Since its launch in 2014, the partnership between Air France, KLM, TAROM and Banca Transilvania has become a successful one in Romania. BT Flying Blue cards are the only credit cards in Romania that offer the possibility of earning Miles on daily purchases and turning them into award tickets within the Flying Blue program. The bank has so far issued more than 40.000 cards. With the benefits offered, BT Flying Blue cards are very popular with our customers – the value of purchases with this card was 40% higher in 2022 compared to 2021
