That's wrong - as pointed out by
Goldorak, if there is an interline agreement and will, two tickets make no difference. Like
brunos I have done it routinely not just on ST-ST itineraries (mixing AF, KL, DL, KE) but also on ST-non-ST itineraries (mixing AF, KL, and DL with BA, LX, LH and more). There are exceptions -- some stations or agents seem to discourage/resent transfers onto other airlines and refuse, AF seems to limit the luggage tagging to three segments max for some obscure luggage tag reason (which apparently does not prevent DL or KL for tagging 4 segments), etc. With BA I have had mixed results, sometimes they say no, sometimes they say yes, and finally some AF or DL agents don't know the procedure and end up thinking they need to do more complicate things than they need to do. But the general rule is routine and quite easy, and BTW, I don't agree KL is any less good than AF at it!
