(4) go to DL.com, do an award search, remember to search by schedule, NOT by price. Sometimes you need to search segment by segment (i.e., multi-city) in order for the AF/KL flight to show up.

I've always been able to book AF or KL award flights on DL.com, and I found DL.com to perfectly match the award availability on airfrance.us.
I must be hitting a bad run of luck with Diamond line tonight. I've found "classic award" seat availability via airfrance.us, but 3 agents now have told me those seats aren't available for Delta. Of course two of the agents, after I found what appeared to be "classic award" seats via codeshare on KQ, sternly told me KQ is not a part of Skyteam.....

Oh well, keep searching!
