A few comments:

- Officially the BA Club Europe product doesn't include wider seats, originally when they changed the product they stopped converting the seats, but after complaints they started converting them once again. Unfortunately some of the more recent Airbus deliveries, have spacesaver seating throughout, the ones in the front are no longer convertible. (that said they're actually quite comfortable)

- As a BA Silver (at the time) could you not have used the BA Galleries lounge in AMS (although you will have needed to leave extra time to get to your gate)?

- Are these still the old AF J seats? I've seen them before, don't look comfortable whatsoever.

- Was your Qantas domestic connection on a separate ticket?
