Half of the combined fleet is in a 1-2-1 which means most seats are similar (except missing windows) but on the A350 or 2-2-2 configured A330 and KL 777 its another story… As an elite, I won’t complain.
Very disappointing to see them follow in the same footsteps as BA. If you're paying so much for a Business ticket, the least they can do is allow free seat selection.
What about STE/E+ members from other airline programmes? Will they also be forced to pay or will their status be recognised by AF/KL?
