Yes indeed, a flight on DL credited to Flying Blue will extend the validity of your miles, and the same goes for flights on any SkyTeam airline when crediting to FB.

For DL, I think all fares were earning on FB but I have a doubt regarding the "light fares" DL introduced about a year ago on domestic flights.

Ah good point, sorry about omitting that important point. I had always thought DL was relatively uncomplicated for mileage collection with FB, unlike AZ and UX earlier.

With SAS, once you reach gold you can give a silver card (or something like that) to your companion... I know this happens on FB platinum ultimate, but does it happen on normal platinum?

I booked an 057 ticket for an AF/DL trip (US to EU) in business class, but booked via Orbitz. Delta calls this an "exception fare" so if I credit to them, I earn Skymiles based on a % of distance instead of "per dollar spent". If I credit it to FlyingBlue, is it based on the price, or do they have some sort of modifier as well? I paid only $2000 for hotel+flight in business.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Quick Question: If I book a round-trip ticket, when do miles/XP credits post to my account? Do I have to complete the entire trip for the points to be credited or will I be credited for the outbound after its complete? What if I never complete the return? Do I still get credit for the outbound flight?

OK. That's what I wanted to know Flying first with.a dummy return in coach and wanted to make sure I would get the xp points for the first class if I didn't want to fly the return

AF cooperates with Air Antilles on FDF-PTP-FSG/SXM. But tickets bought on airfrance homepages are around 30% more expensive than if booked directly with Air Antilles. If I buy a ticket with an Air Antilles code (S3 it is I think), can I reclaim xp and miles afterwards or do I have to pay the 30% extra to gain any xp and/or miles?
And continously: a flight with a stop on the way from a to b (you can take the above example) without a change of an airplane, does this count as a stopover and therefore count as two flight for xp or does it count as a direct flight?
