Air France – KLM Flying Blue launched its February Promotional Awards on Tuesday this week (read more here), and they were supposed to be only for Economy and Premium Economy flights.
There are, however, some business class awards on Sale for travel through July 31, 2022, from select North American destinations (US, Canada & Mexico) served by Air France and KLM. You must ticket these by February 28.

Conclusion
After a cursory look, it seems that these business class tickets are on sale from/to the same cities that appear on the Flying Blue Promo Awards this month, but they haven’t clarified that some, if not all, are also available on business.
I remember when a few years back, the number of miles Flying Blue required for its transatlantic awards was nuts, but they now seem relatively reasonable, even at the full standard rate, considering all the devaluation that has taken place with other programs.
