No problem there (checking in separately, but we have adjacent seats on both flights). However, I did notice that on the GLA-AMS flight, I was offered more choice in the forward seats than my friend (who is not in the FB programme), so there is (maybe) still some remnant of the 'preferred seating' for Elites on some s/h flights.
KL argues that the front Y seats have a little bit more leg space so that's probably why
Was your travel mate able to choose the exit row seats without paying extra?
