Multiple destinations on AF site (any country)
Playing with the URL's it's possible to get the multiple destination feature for a lot more countries which gives the impression things will be officially rolled out too (you just need to modify the two letter ISO country code and language code). Here's some to start from:
UK:

As far as award bookings are concerned, I shouldn't really call it a multiple destinations option, even though that is exactly what AF calls it. It is really only the facility to book an open-jaw return. If you choose, say, CDG-LAX, the destination for the 'return' immediately becomes fixed as CDG. All you can do is come back from another city. I'd call multiple destinations the possibility to book several sectors (which is what it means on most other airline's sites), so that you can book an award which goes, say, CDG-IAH, IAH-LAX, LAX-CDG. You have to phone FB if you want to do that.

This booking engine is for revenue fares and does work correctly for multi segment trips. I do agree that the multi segment reward booking tool is not very good so hopefully they will replace it with this one eventually.

KLM flights are also listed on this tool, so it looks like in future it won't matter whether you book on AF or KL's website you will have access to both airlines flights. ^

I tried this only yesterday for a "complicated" trip and it works satisfactorily. Only, no booking class is indicated (only Economy), and there is no way of telling how many miles you'll be earning: In contrast to the simple booking engine, the choices of flights you get are based on schedule (no levels of green"). Does anybody know a way to get that info as well?
