To OP : please complain to AF/KL about this. It is important to send them that kind of feedback.
Yes, I already let KL know, both electronically and upon boarding (crew was excellent and “watered” us). Now in Cartagena.
Re your hypothesis: I don’t know. At least DL is still using the Avianca lounge. The Avianca lounge is not as good as Latam, but way better than the MasterCard lounge. Also the Latam lounge was never overcrowded at least for the (early) KL departure.
