When ever I wanted 4E I could never get it, blocked. During a long layover at AMS, I had one of the staff members at the lounge look at a few future bookings I had, and I was told it was reserved for the strippers club 2000. I just hope it sticks, well see if I get mysteriously moved closer to departure.
Certainly a revelation. I just hope such indecent exposure of internal policy doesn't get the employee in trouble. They are all but naked for the wrath of violations of corporate policy. Fortunately, KLM hasn't exactly been in pole position for striking such 'leaks' down. It's likely nobody will be stripped of their career here.
Have a couple of 747 flights coming up to LAX, NBO and CUR. I like to look out of the window and see 2 engines on the wing. Even if they are old... I like 4 engines for longhaul!
ICN is still 747 (Combi I think, I don't usually go that far back).
I have a IST-AMS-ICN (RT) trip coming and both legs between AMS & ICN will be in a 747 combi according to the booking I have. I even managed to snatch 4E on the way to ICN (and I believe 4E was also available on the way back but I wanted to travel upstairs since I have not done so in 15-20 years).
Just booked a return to Hong Kong for late summer, changed the dates to be on KL747 flights. My son 11 likes 4 engines especially how they wiggle during take off.
