Or alternatively you can fly the outbound first. Then call to cancel the return flight for a refund of 30K miles (Costing 50 euro change fee) and then book the one-way return ticket. This of course has the risk of the C-class award not being available any more at that time, or the 30K miles refund taking long leaving you without a ticket. Therefore I would recommend booking the new one-way inbound flight first as described above.
I thought about this (option 1), but the problem is that I don't keep a balance in my Flying Blue account. I'm generally a DL flyer and only transfer to FB just enough miles for an award. So I don't want to end up with 30K miles in my FB account. I'm planning on doing option 2 (the "alternatively") if there's the inventory.

Thanks to all.
