Why, may I ask? AF/KL Flying Blue awards only 25% mileage and EQMs for heavily-discounted flights; Platinums get 100% bonus mileage (not 125% either)
Advantage of FB:
- 10 years of continuous Platinum makes one Platinum for Life
- Lower qualification levels for Gold and Platinum (outside of France):40,000 milies or 30 segments (non-French domestic) for Gold; 70,000 miles (60 segments) for PLT.

FB is NW's FF program in Europe/Africa/Middle East. So if you have a mailing address in one of those territories, you will get NW domestic EUAs just like a regular NW Elite. FB has no such domestic upgrade arrangements with DL
yet. But an FB member in the U.S. does not qualify for the NW EUAs.
