Because I'm travelling alone, I can't replicate what you're seeing (even though, stupidly, I tried). As a data point, when I was looking at contributing via Air France last week, I was getting the standard/normal options (seat, meal, baggage, contribute, etc.) and when I selected "contribute" it took me to the abridged offers you are seeing - seat and baggage options only. KLM is where I saw the full set of options yesterday (plus an option for checking a bike! ), and "contribute" was one of them, and when I selected it it displayed the offer and would allow one to make a purchase for SAF. So if you're seeing this over at KLM, that just seems odd.

Maybe at this point a call to KLM (not necessarily to AF, since they're the ones who are pausing the program) is in order? One would think that they would want to make the offer available to everyone who is flying, so what you're seeing doesn't really make sense.
I added the SAF a few weeks ago to a ticket for two people. if memory serves me well, I could only do that once. it's on a route I've never done so I do not know if the price I paid is for two people or not.

that raises another unrelated question: if I add the SAF to an award ticket, will I be awarded the XP and miles for the SAF? (not for the award ticket of course). I haven't tried yet but I see that the option is available. strangely enough, the PSL wasn't really sure about that. ty
