I was skeptical and nervous about transferring the miles to flying blue. But I got to the site at 12:01 the day they released the seats and got the pick of the cabin for seats. Non stop return with excellent times. $307 in fees but I can take that.

Just need to figure out how to get from Antwerp area to AMS/Schipol the day of the return flight, but I have a year to figure that out......!
Glad it all worked out KLM is better than AF too, so there's that
