I know it's against the rules but I have nothing to lose. The changes to the Flying Blue program make it very unattractive and they are IMO a lousy airline anyway and I don't see myself using them much in the future.
First: the best info you get on the Flying Blue Forum itself.

But, shortly: there is no way to transfer miles from Flying Blue to anybody else (only exception: when moving to the US it is possible to send them to WorldPerks, but I'm not sure for how long). So it is not possible to send them to other programs, and not to other people.

You can book an award 10 months in advance. But be careful: changing this award can result in returning the miles - and losing them forever.

And you can give them to charity...
Selling the awards is an option - but not according to the T&C, so
