This summer they have been wasting their money, what with just about every flight being delayed.
EC is my favorite part of KLM product.
Sitting up front is nice, but being tall and large as I am the extra space is more than worth the 10 odd euros and the higher chance of empty middle seat is also nice.

Speaking of, I meant to be at the airport like 20 minutes ago.
Good old NS, in addition to removing 1/3rd of IC trains from schedule in advance, cancelled another 1/3rd, leaving me with a lot less options than expected. And then the singular option that made sense for me got delayed and reported impossible transfer.
Now I'm arriving less than 90 minutes before departure time. Hope my Privium will be of help.

or is that usually fine?
On direct flights, baggage doesn't seem to be an issue.
Less so with connections, but that's not your case.

AirTags used to be a lot quicker, however there were cases of stalking via covertly places tag. They were nerfed, still absolutely capable of being used to find lost items, but not enough to allow for real time tracking.
