Seriously, though - you should claim for the Lufthansa flights from a Star Alliance FFP - Lufthansa's own programme is not the best - and seek the ORC for your cancelled KLM flights from your Skyteam FFP

It seems SFO is always the destination where flight alterations (or cancellations) can be made when something is wrong with the 789 fleet.
Code:
KL607/23AUG AMS-SFO (San Francisco) Booked: X KL608/23AUG SFO-AMS Booked: X o Equipment change. Flight segments will be operated with a B777-200 instead of a B787 due to exceeding technical maintenance. o New configuration is 34C/282M. o Both flights are max saleable 34C/264M for crew reasons.

KL605 is operated with a B77W today instead of the usual B744, the resulting delay is insignificant though.
KL608 (departure 13SEP) is operated with a B772 and delayed by 2 hours.
Looks like SFO continues to be hit by aircraft changes. I'm scheduled to fly next week on said flights and am hoping to fly as booked on B744 and B789... We'll see.

I don't think it's even that the issues occur in SFO. It's just that, when they are having fleet issues, they seem to favour sacrificing the SFO route. Whether it's because it's a particularly easy one for them to recover from, or whether there was some other reason to start with, by now it appears to be a habit.
We're down a 787? Then we must cancel SFO!!!!

KL601 (I'm flying smarter: AMS-LAX-SFO) today got last minute equipment changed to a 777! I was supposed to have my 744, my absolute favorite...
any idea why Ralph? Or is just my eternal Holland-California luck.

Probably in 2.5 month a 789 AMS-SFO awaits me, I'm gonna start praying now ...
