For the trip posted, it looks like you booked Business for EDI-NCE, paying (excluding taxes) 502 euro (assuming you had no status and Economy for NCE-EDI paying 502 euro also (if you, for instance became Silver after the flight to NCE, the return flight perhaps only cost 335 euro).

For the XP, EDI-CDG is international (short band) and in business, so 15 XP. CDG-NCE is domestic and in business, so 6 XP. NCE-CDG is domestic and in economy, so 2 XP. CDG-EDI is international (short band) and in economy, so 5 XP.
Thanks, I get it, looking back at the confirmation email it was business (Z,Z) and economy (A,A), I was forgetting that CDG->NCE is domestic I very rarely fly any domestic flights on KL or AF.
