KL 663/664 AMS/IAH Privatair reductions?
After leaving KLM and FB and moving all my business over to CO I needed to dump around 500K miles, so I booked a few award tickets with Privatair to IAH.
KLM called this weekend to inform me that my flight had been cancelled due to Winter reductions and that the Privatair flights would not be flying the first week of January.
They booked me on the 662.
AFAIK KLM have never reduced these flights before.
I am not too happy, as I really enjoyed the Privatair flights. On the bright side, I love 747s.

it's a single plane with less than 2 hours turn around at either end. Not too much room for taking care of little issues like maintenance.

I always thought that Privatair had 2 BBJs that they rotated through their network for service/maintenance issues. Though it would make sense to cancel a week around New Years for maintenance.
