Of course, as it is a SkyTeam benefit.

Until recently, this was the case for anyone but FB Platinum.[/QUOTE]

So I luggage shuffled at the elite check-in
That sounds crazy to me. I would have made them call a supervisor because having to open your suitcase for 200 grams is just nuts.

As long as you have the physical card with you, there is no real benefit of having the AZ number printed.

Are you talking about the rows with baby bassinets? Normally AF is pretty family-friendly but nowadays, ancillary sales have become a priority especially at outstations...

There is no such thing as an FB/Delta lounge, I am wondering where you were? That is just a matter of training, happens all the time.

In fact, the Mrs winebug was the only lap infant carrying parent on the lap infant row, and all other lap infant parents (there were a few on this flight) were scattered elsewhere throughout the plane.
While this is a pure revenue-based rationale, these rows are not reserved to people travelling with infants.

You mean Premium Eco (W) in a long-haul plane? This is a separate class of reservation and they would not place you in this cabin if they don't absolutely need to (Y overbooked, but I am sure many FB Plats and Golds would have higher priority).

Really? You cannot be serious making this kind of statement
