Funny thing they had my gf listed for "Low-sodium" meal. I didn't ask for that during booking and it's not in her profile anywhere...
I booked an upcoming trip in WBC via NW on nwa.com with some KL segments including a trans atlantic and two inter europe flights. During the on-line booking I was able to pick KL seats that show up as being confirmed in my reservations. However, during the on-line purchase, I was not able to grab any of the premimum seats (e.g. 77A/B upstairs) only non premimum WBC seats across the pond. I was able to pick any of the non blocked seats on the KL 73x flights. Unlike NW flts, you can not go back and change the KL based flts to choose premimum seats and talking with the NW Elite folks they can not grab them either.
Does anyone have experience of being able to call KL and have them release or assign prem seats on KL metal with a NW reservation?
