Seat options on Air France vs KLM site

I am trying to book a multi-city flight (outbound via KLM and Inbound via AF) on the Air France website and notice that my options to pay for seat selections is more limited than if I booked via KLM site. Is this normal? Would I be able to book my flight on AF site and go to KLM flight to select seats after?

You should be. The differences are small but not inexistent which never ceases to puzzle me!

Thanks for the quick reply! It's so weird since KLM has a ton of seats (paid preferred and paid economy comfort as well as free economy seats) for selection on their site, but AF only has a handful of of paid preferred seats to select (otherwise, seats are assigned 30 hours before departure).

I also tweeted KLM and they told me they can help me select seats as long as the flight is on KLM.

Yes, this is one of those weird KLM / AF things that always rears its head. Now you now for future bookings, if you want to get more options, check KLM.com
