i tried STR BUD in business and it shows AZ and OK flights
I think it depends on your destinations. if there are easier connections
via other Skyteam hubs, you can go for it.

I had a look, changed my details, got a new PIN and then got a message that I was not authorised and should contact FB in my own country - now just where is FB in the UK 
?
I expect it will be OK tomorrow, the launch date.

Already here on Air France's website whereas KLM seems a little bit late 
:
The login cookie is a nice new feature. BTW, still no official new accrual table 
Promos in August? When everybody will be abroad, on award tickets or mileage runs?
:
De nieuwe Flying Blue-kaarten zijn pas vanaf 6 juni geldig. Ons systeem zal de Flying Blue-kaart voor die datum niet herkennen. Tot 6 juni kunt u gebruik blijven maken van uw Flying Dutchman-kaart.

Seems pretty clear to me - 100% for all economy fares outside of domestic France. I thought there were all sorts of exceptions but the site seems clear to me.

Does anyone else have problem with accessing their account? I can log in and see the overall balance, but the site hangs when I click on the detailed account. Maybe millions of customers are updating their profiles to FB right now...

It's interesting that they no longer display the EQMs you need to qualify for each level in the program.

Somehow, I expect the official-as-published-on-AF-own-website rules to change in the next few days, to match what's in Amadeus and was told by flyaircanada.
As a reminder, it's now:
1000 in Y, 500 in W, E, A and 250 for any other for domestic flights.
100% for Tempo, 200% for Tempo Challenge and l'Espace Affaires in Europe (with a minimul of 750 miles).
100%, 150% and 300% for long-haul flights in Tempo, Affaires and Première respectively (with a minimum of 750).
As a side note, I will stay in a Campanile hotel in Dijon this evening, and I will have the opportunity to give my FB card to an employee there on the first day of the launching of the program. I'll keep you informed if they are well-trained with FB or if they look at me silly
(you know earn miles with several hotel chains according to the website).
