KL
Yesterday I flew KLM/KLC after some time and I'm happy to see that little has changed, apart from the Ultimate reserved area in lounge 25. It is actually quite nice though completely unattended, but despite the huge crowd outside nobody was there, only another person with the Ultimate tag.
The dragons were obviously really busy doing something at their desk, so they're not greeting Ultimates or accompanying anyone in the reserved area. No request for pre-boarding or anything related to boarding at all.
For the rest, it's still the same: KLC had perfect recognition and delivery on board of my preferences, on KLM I got nothing at all. And the breakfast box was really horrible.
Other positive note on KLC: first time for me on E195-E2 and I was surprised on how quiet it was. It's really a nice plane. Also, despite changing my flight on the same day, I've got my seat free (blocked?) in C class, though I think it was by chance.
The purser asked me a strange question, she asked me if it's true that AF blocks the seat in C in E190 - and I told her that afaik that's not happening yet except on the few planes where they refurbished the seats, though I couldn't find any example on expertflyer. I remember reading that the refurbishing should have been completed by Summer 2025, but as usual - I assume there have been delays.
