Thread: KLM Economy?

On the handful of BA flights that I've been on within Europe, the flights either have seats in Y or gone out completely full so I've never been upgraded.

BTW, love the Piedmont avatar!

Thanks for the compliment and info. My wife(F/A) joined Piedmont from Eastern just before the belly-up and now after several morphs...American...so I just HAD to use the Piedmont livery !

And your suggestion about looking at BA is a good one...I just checked their real website seat maps for LHR-CPT-LHR, 18th-25th and it looks like there are over 100 seats open both directions on a 744. That may be a better chance than KLM, however I hate the U.K. taxes. Getting there for a little tax though is a BIG consideration.
