So Hainan is part of Star alliance, you receive nothing. It is...

Re: Brussels-Zurich-Shanghai with Swiss

Hello André,

I never ask for a window seat, always for an alley seat. I am almost alway traveling alone, and than you have alway the problem that you need to disturb someone before you can go to the bathroom or the luggage compartment.
