Reply To: SAS EuroBonus status match

[Fraser]

So I successfully matched with SAS and now have Eurobonus Gold, and their website says on Skyteam I should benefit from “preferred seating.”

However, with an upcoming Air France booking, Air France is charging for seat selection on every leg in economy. Is this normal?

I have two bookings, one EDI-AMS-MPL in economy and they want £10 per leg for standard seating, and allow 1 checked bag.
My second booking is MPL-CDG-DXB in economy and they allow free standard seat selection, plus 2 checked bags.

Quite odd and inconsistent.
