I can only select in advance a regular Y seat. I can't select a "preferred" Y seat for free and of course same for Comfort+. Is that normal ? If it is, will I be able to select one of those for free when OLCI opens ?
Thank you

Eventually I was refered to a footnote on the Flying Blue benefits page where it’s said that the upgrades only clear on the day of departure (but interestingly not at OCLI).

Maybe in your case maybe you should call the PSL and see if they can do anything? For a “preffered” seat I’m sure they will be able to sort it out, but for Comfort+ it might be trickier unless they find a workaround for Ultimate members.
