I linked Accor account as well which I suppose will add 5XP after my next flight if I understand correctly, giving me 182XP. Do you much cleverer frequent flyers think this is worth the extra $$ and time? I do love flying so don’t mind the extra legs, especially if in Business (even if only EU BC). Also have never flown AF so that would be new. Thanks!!

EDIT: by the way am not interested in taking the train to DUS first for this one.
Welcome! Yes, since you are planning the trip anyway I would go for it in business as you will become gold which has many advantages over silver.
