no, there isn't. Doesn't address award bookings at all. Says you can cancel through a travel agent and get a voucher, I am talking about the $ to redeposit the miles, so perhaps you could try being helpful instead of snarky. Thx!

How about you state that clearly in your original post so we know you are talking about award bookings and not revenue fares? 😉
Generally speaking, you can cancel your award bookings (except promo rewards) up to 2 hours prior to the scheduled departure, with all the miles re-deposited to your Flying Blue account, and the taxes/surcharges refunded. All that for a fee (of 50€ if I remember correctly). Flying Blue never exchanges award tickets: they cancel and rebook, assuming award fares are available.
Now, as suggested by carnavon, call FB to have further clarification, and whether or not the current COVID-19 situation might be grounds for the waiver of that cancellation fee.

I posted a datapoint exactly on cancelling a reward AF ticket on March 10, not too long before you posted this thread. The thread is Coronavirus - AF/KL authorize rebooking at no extra cost. Post 24.
In support of NickB - God helps those who helps themselves first.
A waiver to date change for when space is available or a waiver for refund? At this point i’d rather just have the redeposit and wait until things calm down.
