Thumbs down "Upgraded" to the middle seat of a Fokker 70

This morning, on a KLC flight, I was "upgraded" (at the gate, on an award ticket) to C... only to find out it was the middle seat of a full F70 ;-)

Besides the fact that I actually see loosing my nice aisle seat fot a middle seat, even in row 2, as a downgrade, I think the guys around me (who actually paid C) were not very happy to have me sitting on "their" middle seat.

The captain actually came in the cabin and announced that AF messed up things but that to sort this out would take 1 hour, so he apologized.

After my neighbors ate their box, the FA came back and offered me one... which I politely declined as I just had a snack before boarding.

When I booked the award ticket, it was a 737 (strange for a BOD-AMS)... which could explain the fully booked F70 and thus the non existent "space for your confort" for C PAX.
