in early November AF/KLM removed YQ/YR from all of their european fares. YR/YQ is now calculated into the base fare. this finally makes multi-segment-flights cheaper.

You will have advance seat reservation via the AZ website, even though the first 9 rows are normally not available during the process. Check-in opens 2 days before the flight and seats in the first row next to the emergency exits are available free-of-charge for Elite+s (in the last 10 months of flying mostly AZ in Europe, I've always got an 11F, which is much better than Economy Comfort on KL).

When the ticket is issued by Alitalia and the flights are operated under AZ flight number that's a completely different story. Then everything is fine.

No - you can't open your itinerary on the Alitalia website - neither with the PNR nor the ticket number, when the ticket is issued by KLM and the AZ flight is under a KL flight number. Happened to me every time during the last year. And neither KLM nor Alitalia can help with advance seat reservation. Even online checkin is not possible when online checkin opens. the website keeps telling me "not available".

I didn't know this, which is probably very good news. Might push me back to a segment run in the future. But I hope that the interesting longhaul business class offers with other scaryteam airlines will continue to appear. Maybe something from Xiamen Air?
