I get the full open seatmap pretty much everytime on both AF and KL.

...and it's never worth it.

hmm. Possibly it would have been, except I’ve never seen it, as once I have selected eco for the outbound, biz was not shown for the return leg.

HKG-AMS, $290 from W to J. What an absolute steal. Was able to upgrade the entire family of 4.

AMS-LAX Economy comfort to Economy Premium 301 Euro. We took it.

Wow! amazing deal indeed! hard to beat

Probably not a good deal, but SIN-CDG from cheapest economy ticket to business class €800. This was December 24

Ams-jfk y-c €899

It's not bad for such a long flight in a peak travel month.

Jan 9th:
CDG-NCE 139€... :D :D

Y-C as in Y to Premium Comfort? C isn’t the booking class IIRC.

is anyone able to tell me how many spare J seats are available for AMS-HAN on the 13th?

KL doesn’t fly to HAN

KL843, AMS-BKK. Sorry. Vietnam (VN) does the 2nd leg which is coded as KL3088 by KLM

KL843/13JAN AMS BKK booked 31/35 in business class.

AMS - BKK: 13 december 2024: Upgraded from economy to Business for €999. Probably a bit on the high side but it was a once in probably long time opportunity for the first time in my life experiencing KLM BC. Seat great, service was reasonable. Food was horrible.

BKK - AMS for tomorrow 12 januari 2025: upgraded from economy to premium economy for €299. I think this is a good deal. I will eat at Suvernabhumi airport beforehand to be sure ;).

Trip to Bangkok business class had 1 seat left, for the flight tomorrow J seems to have been fully booked. PE had a couple of seats left, basic economy (Y?) quite full and I was auto assigned in a middle row at the very back. PE was an absolute no brainer.
