Anyone else get peeved that partner airlines don’t truly recognize status from other airlines. I have elite delta status and KLM spat in my face, figuratively. Some kind of alliance...

That’s because the US airlines devalue the status due to the ease of earning points

What did you want KLM to do for you? They are not very generous with upgrades even for their own status holders, but lounge access and priority boarding should be given ...

Yeah I wouldn’t read to much into it. They are quite strict in the application of terms of tickets bought. I can totally see them do this saying we just follow the rules. In my experience having status doesn’t typically give you benefits outside of the listed benefits.
