I still think the price is steep, but if you get a small discount due to your FF status, take it!)
Always good to read another opinion! Thanks for your input!
I stand to be corrected but AF 787 W seats are marginally different than A388 W seats; after my opup from CDG to JNB outbound! ( + an enhanced catering compared to KQ)!
Next time on KQ, row 2 or 3 will be reserved to eventually get a full flat seat !
From JNB on that day, the light load factor could allow many passengers to do so.

As you travelled a few times with KQ already, maybe now do you know if the middle seat is blocked off (at least at the first row) or it was just a glitch in their early days?
Or what does KQ exactly mean with a "free" middle seat?
