Flying Blue doesn't have a preference for routing via CDG/AMS, they do have near-last-seat availability on AFKL.
I understand that; I was just shocked to see ZERO availability for any day, any route, any flight, on their partners - even at inflated prices. Heck, DL charges 1 million + miles for some of the trans-pacific J routes to China - on partners, I mean. It's ridiculous, but at least there is availability. Oh well, thanks for the insights - I'll probably just book CX or SQ then.
