What to expect with Transavia?
I am booked this month on a Transavia flight RAK-AMS as a KL codeshare. From my understanding, I can't pre-book seats, the luggage allotment is different than what KL gives me as a Skyteam Elite Plus and and they can't tag my bags as PRIORITY for the connecting KL flight. Anything else I should be prepared for?

They are not a SkyTeam airline, so your SkyTeam benefits mean nothing, except for some award miles if you are on a Plus/Max fare.
Luggage should be determines by the MSC, are you flying further with KL?

It's an LCC - buy on board food, strict one carry-on enforcement, etc.

It's not possible to book HV flights under their KL flightcodes unless there is further travel with KL (or DL/AF).

Since Transavia is a wholly owned subsidiary of KLM the thread has been moved to the KLM forum.

Then the KL luggage allowance should be the relevant one.

Is this an award ticket?

Is it possible to do this as an award ticket? Example Transavia CTA-AMS as KL flight code and then AMS-DTW-IAH as KL flight codes also.
