NBO-AMS €759 euro.
I did not take it as I had a nice EC chair. But got a complementary upgrade after take off from the purser to 73B.
Second upgrade I received this year by the purser.

AMS-ALC 99 E tomorrow/tuesday. flight seems overbooked by 9 in M and 6 available in C... not bad for a good product If you don't have any elite advantages this would be good just to skip lines
Declined though as already have fast lane/ lounge and the onboard pasta meal is not to bad

HEL-AMS 149€ at T-30, 5/8 open, later changed to 99€
Upon boarding only 3/8 open, I could hear the FA and GA talking about 1 opup and 1 last minute paid upgrade, both which didn't receive a J meal since they were not loaded in AMS...

Have known that to happen too.
I once arrived at the airport in very good time (can't trust the railroads), and offered to take an earlier flight. For once KL was happy to accommodate me, as the flight I was orignally booked on was the last of the day and overbooked by four. Ended up with only one other pax in J, who got the only dinner. I got a sandwich leftover from lunch.
On another occassion they ended up with five OpUps, because a screw-up where one J pax plus all these OpUps found themselves in the first row behind the curtain. In this instance they not only moved the curtain, but also went to the trouble of ordering a stack of extra J meals from a local airport caterer.
