I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to pay the 270Euro fee to get back 220k points and switch to KL flights.
AF would be A320 and 773 (config with F)
KL would be an EMB195 and A330
Thoughts?
I think AF offers a better hard product although with two young kids the KLM J seats probably aren’t that bad plus this is a daytime flight so sleep unlikely.
Well, it depends. KL food and drink isn't quite the level of AF. The AF lounge in CDG is much nicer than lounge 52 in Schiphol. But food in lounges and in flight has a hard limit on quality, and you can always save the 220k points and buy your family a great meal.
