YVR in August is peak cruise season and peak holiday season in Europe and in addition to that not really served well by SKY at all...

It makes sense to complain about several new FB enhancements, but not about some destinations not available during super high season...
Yeah i know what you are trying to say, with it being peak season and that. But come on!!!!!! 1 seat.... they can't fine me 1 seat in 30 days via all the hubs that Skyteam has in North America. It would be different if i only wanted a straight flight. But I am willing to go any which way they decide to send me.

How many flights must Skyteam have across the pond daily? They can't put me on any one of them and then a connection from whichever hub i land in (even in Y for the North American) section was fine with me.

I think its just AF/KLM trying to clear out our points by giving us no option but to book Open fare awards. And that really gets me angry.
