KL622 Operated by: airBaltic?
Checking in for a flight tomorrow (Mar 30,22), this caught my attention:
ATL TO AMS:KL622
Atlanta GA to Amsterdam NL
FLIGHT STATUS: ON TIME
DEPART: 10:30pm
ARRIVE: 12:55pm
Operated by: airBaltic
Just a glitch?
(Wouldn't surprise me, as my app shows my next trip - a 6 seg multi-city, 4 days later - as a round trip with only 4 segments. )

The only regularly KL coded BT operated flights are AMS-RIX.
It's possible for KL (and other airlines) to contract BT aircraft + crew for other flights (though just as often it's the other way around). But, impossible here, as the BT A220s have a reach of 3450 NM. AMS-ATL is 4,401 NM.
If it was BT, you'd have much better food and service than KL, bright and comfortable cabin in Y (but no real J).
Easiest way to confirm it's a glitch is to look at the aircraft and seatmap.
