No , depends on your status or not , and which type of fares you booked you need (light / standard / flex) you will have to pay to choose (usually between €24 and €140 for long haul flights) or get assigned a random seat at checkin

You also need to pay and they are more expensive than regular seats

depends on destination and also on lot of factors , but it will be around these values at least . Check the thread about olci with KLM
last time i flew to barbados , prices were around €600 for the transatlantic upgrade

hop, or is it 30hrs before each leg?
Online check-in for all your flights open 30h before first flight
