It is 100% a matter of personal tastes and preferences.
Some dream of flying in First, others don't care and are happy with biz or even economy.
Some travel alone, others with company or even entire family.
Some hate traveling altogether.

People are just trying to be helpful and align it with your desires.
I'd personally spend it on P travel. AF has such a wonderful product. And I'd go to Japan, perhaps on KL.

I'd personally go with a RTW in business (350k each), even if it's a little complicated to book, + 1 flight to north america in P / return in J.
Otherwise you can construct up to 5 flights in long haul P to north america (200k each) or 2 to North America and 2 to Asia with some more miles (320k each).

My first post. 
Just wondering....can a person buy miles from another person?
I am only FB Ivory, and desperate to upgrade, at least a little, from KLM economy for two people from JFK to Kilimanjaro. If I can't buy miles, any ideas about my upgrade desires? Flying in Aug 2017.
I actually WON a safari trip, including air, so I did not book the flight myself. I would not be able to afford this trip if I had not won it. Taxes and other things are costing a bunch for this 'free' trip as it is. Even so, I am grateful. Thanks all!

As you don't appear to be familiar with the FB programme, I would advise you to do your homework before doing anything further. I would also advise you to check the small print of your "prize", as it is likely that your ticket is not upgradable.
