I don't see how anyone who has a choice would ever choose KL over TK on this route. The latter offers a vastly superior J product in every respect.
No OLCI upgrades offered CPH-AMS yesterday, by the way, but J had been reduced to two rows, with only one seat available.

199Euro an 80% discount?
Always fun to 1st see "an 80% discount" on business class announcement and then be quote 199 Euro for an upgrade on AMS-LHR. Never knew a single fare Business Class to LHR would be 1000Euro

£505 for TPE-AMS.
I actually made an upgrade bid for 350 and have heard sod all from KLM as to whether it was accepted (apparently not) or rejected or whether the AFKL IT system is too just sh*t to handle it. I was the only bidder.

I tried to buy an upgrade on board a 777 yesterday. The Purser's iPad showed that I had status with DL, but my mileage balance showed n/a, so unless I wanted to pay 750 for a TATL upgrade, she couldn't do it.
Does anyone have an estimate of what the miles price might have been?

Last weekend: UIO-AMS, small posters at the check in "inquire for a special fare for a relaxing trip", 850US..... they checkin staff said the day before was "really cheap", 309US, since the plane was overbooked.
Last Thursday: AMS-DEL, 349,- to business (747 full pax) or economy comfort for 50 euro.

I mean, to quote, it's a "journey of luxury," all the way from Amsterdam to Berlin!
All that for only 99!
I "guess," it's better than the recent 199 AMS-OSL and 149 AMS-LHR I got recently at OLCI.
