US-Asia Awards via Europe

My niece is thinking of traveling ATL to Japan via Europe on KLM in Sept and wants to know if the she can do it on the 70K one-way J award . I told her no but I might be wrong. Can anyone confirm this?

How so? AF/KL have decent award availability and you can be routed through CDG/AMS.

For that you would need Flying Blue miles. Delta is limiting TATL redemptions to Asia to India/Maldives, but not further east. Of course, one can do US-Europe+Europe-Asia redemption and in some cases it may be less than US-Asia in high plus get you an extra stopover/open-jaw options.
