Based on those codes for DL, the Y legs will earn 100% base, 100% MQM, and 20% distance MQD.
The O legs will earn nothing.
Same for FB earnings.
But the the price is great if you can do without any earnings.

Seems to be bookable out into late Autumn but not over Christmas
Some flights route CDG-FOC(Fujian)-PEK on their own 787 long haul, rather than CDG-AMS-PEK on KLM metal.
The stop in FOC in this case would be to change planes and clear Chinese immigration.
I did try a few other desinations within China other than PEK but no dice.

It's possibly worth pointing out that all passengers require a visa for FOC, no transit without visa allowed at all.

Anyone found routing without domestic sectors in China? ie FOC/XMN-PEK
update: yes, KLM metals all the way, bookable on Expedia but need to hurry, as one of my preferred connections are gone, they're probably fixing it now.
update2: fares are probably gone, all back to normal $1800 USD

Seems like an Error to me. 26 total hours in business for <600 seems to good to be a sale even for Xiamen which typically has cheap fares. That being said I have heard nothing but good things about Xiamen's food and service, but KLM gives you a cute little Dutch house so I think you made the right choice.
