(1) If I understand correctly from the other thread, it will be free for Plats, 50% off for Golds, 25% off for silvers is this correct?

(2) If so, does the discount extend to companions (ie can a Plat book him/herself+companion for free, a Gold book him/herself+companion at 50% off, etc)

(3) Is this a 'pure' KL initiative or is it expected to extend to AF?

(4) Can pre-selected seats (EC or not) be changed at any time. For example, I imagine that KL will start the cabin where they believe it is 'likely' that the curtain will be. Let's say that when I book this means row 8. When KL fine tune their numbers and move the likely curtain just in front of row 4, can I change my seat to row 4?

(5) Are the seats really different? (more leg room? More recline? What exactly?) or are they just at the front of the cabin?

(6) Will KLM crew enforce not letting people randomly move to these rows unless invited to? This has occasionally been a big problem on long haul as some people end up 'helping themselves' for free to something others have paid for which creates resentment (and inequity I would say)?

(7) Will there be any service difference between EC and non-EC seats (like DL adds full bar to long haul EC seats unlike the rest of the cabin)?

OK that will do for a start!
