I do work within Flying Blue and I have reached out to you on Ben's behalf to get some more elements to investigate your case and some other members' cases as well. Our objective is to better understand the situation to deliver the courtesy seat promise when possible.
I should have introduced myself directly on the thread before reaching out tou you to avoid any misunderstanding !
