So, it's definitely an upside, unless that AF website is always poor in info about the miles earned (even if KL one is sometimes confusing).
In conclusion, it's now possible to book a "mix" trip on AF website, and a multi city one on KL website... Still a couple of updates to go for a good merged one...

Does anyone know if one can do this with expedia (and others) as well? I am always able to mix KL/NW and AF/DL but AF/KL gives me full fare prices. I just tried the TLS/CPH for mid February and got USD177 return for KL (great price, 145 EUR all in) all in and USD285 for AF; combined $1400.
