Front standard seat now paid?
Hi all,
”Front standard seats” used to be free for SkyPriority passengers (like me, a lowly FB Gold). However, I am now being asked for money for this seat, and even receive no discount on the price (in fact, there’s also no discount on Economy Comfort seats). Is this an IT glitch or has there been indeed a recent change in policy? Thanks!

Standard seats are still free for elites at all times. I'd argue a "front seat" is not worth the price generally, if you must sit as far forward as possible you may as well grab an economy comfort seat as the price difference is negligible, at least for short haul.

Is it problematic to change the frequent flyer number via garuda or OLCI after getting a free or discounted seat (with the FB member benefit)?
