AA does allow a stopover at the US gateway city of an international ticket.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

+1
Awesome for anyone that lives in a gateway city. Free domestic trip every time you book an international one. Think Hawaii...

I am.

Is a stopover OW allowed on FB metal, or only AF?

My bad,
 * You cannot include a stopover on an AIR FRANCE, KLM, Air Europa,KenyaAirways or Tarom one-way award ticket. In order to include a stopover in Paris between Amsterdam and Marseille, you will need two separate award tickets.
 
BMI is the only one.

Would KLM-DL be valid? or both legs have to qualify?

Do you read that right?

You CANNOT make a stopover on a one-way.
