I have gotten 1.3 points per 1 Amex points several times. One way trips in coach are 20K points, and often less on VS.
don’t just transfer amex points over to Flying Blue (Af) as unless you have any kind of AFKL travel history then any flight booking will probably be judged as fraudulent.
there are multiple posts about this on the AFKL forums - just go search.
