So here we go. This morning,
every single EC seat was occupied on my KLC flight (E190). IMHO, most of the 20 PAX were neither FBP, neither did they pay...
My best guess is that the EC seats become available without paying as soon as the other seats are taken... meaning that, if you want to have one of those, you should not check-in online, but do so at the airport as late as possible.
Very poor from KLM... Here elite pax are not considered
more than regular pax but actually
less.
