But, it seems to be a double standard that we get lesser treatment as DL elites on AF/KL (I have never been recognized as an Elite Plus on a partner airline, EVER!) while they get it with us. With the joint venture, all things should be equal, right?
Flying Blue elites hardly get better treatment than DL elites on AF/KL flights. FB elite statuses are more or less Elite/Elite Plus status with a mileage bonus. Does it really bug you that they give the seats to partner elites? Would you rather they be empty?
