Did KL start to sell O-Class for European flights?s

I just noticed a price drop on KL operated inner-European fares. It looks like they are finally offering discounted business class in the O fare bucket which is still a few euros more than the AF O class, but the KL European business class prices are no longer in the 900-1000€ range when connecting through AMS.

I don't check every day - but a few weeks back there was still no O class availability on European KL flights.

KLM was notorious for having very high prices in J. I don't think I've ever seen a KL marketed shorthaul J under 700 until now.

I have. For example I've seen about €400-ish (maybe a a little above or below) to BCN and LHR, and this was years ago already.

They have been back&forth. During Covid I noticed them offering O class on the ATH route at around ~450 euro roundtrip a few times. Then it went back to the absurd 700 euro minimum price level. From earlier this summer again O class is available on that route for just under 500 euro. Still not sure if that's worth the money though. Personally I'd probably rather book AF at the same price and get double XP's (And better food on board).

why do you get double XP on AF? *headscratch*

Presumably because the flights route thru CDG so four segments rather than two?

Apologies, yes - from my perspective that would be double XP (Flying between AMS and ATH).
