Actually, after a quick search, I found the french elite number is published... on the old FP pages of a regional AF website !

I love AF webmasters.

Well, Jumbo-Jumbo is the number they put on the back of their Ivory cards, too... (That's the only plastic i have, after all.) So, to get this straight, there's a dedicated elite line with Air France, and a general reservation number with KLM? Or are there some variants of Jumbo-Jumbo?

(To top the stupidity, on cards they send to Luxembourg, they put a Belgian pay number for AF reservations whcih isn't even reachable from here. That despite the fact that there is an AF reservation hotline with a Luxembourg number.)

Sorry if I broke the forum rules by giving the Elite line number . I thought I would not since:
- It is obviously not a private number;
- It is made publicly available by AF (or rather, was made publicly available, but you can still find its trace on the Web);
- You cannot access the service if you are not authorized to (you have to be identified as Elite from your FB number until you can proceed with an agent).

Still, I have edited my post. However, I could not edit the quotes by Chrissxb and Johan Rebel ...

This being said, I like to hunt for standard (non overtaxed) versions of airline call center phone numbers. Most of them have one but you have to deploy a lot of rethorical gimmicks to obtain them. KLM/NW France has one .

The NL number is just the normal KLM reservations phone number - it has been this for ages (except that Amsterdam phone numbers used to be shorter in the past, so probably once it was 020 747 747 ) The number is now +31 20 4 747 747. This number is published on the KLM website, though it takes some effort to get there - "About us" -> "Worldwide offices" then select 'Netherlands' and it will show up (slightly different names on non-English versions of the KLM site).

So no more elite reservations number for KLM

Why no Platinum Helpdesk when the website clearly claims a level of service for Platinum Elite customers that is totally opposite to what you actually get?

Why do the Platinum benefits continue to erode?
