Due to fleet changes and refurbishment of aircraft, the seating FAQ does not always reflect the most recent information.
A revamp is currently in progress.

FAQ 3A1 - The Great KLM Aircraft and Seating Guide
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It gives me enormous personal pleasure to introduce the all-new
Herein it is hoped that you will find everything you could ever want to know about the aircraft KLM fly, the seating and IFE options, which seats to choose, and which to avoid.
None of this would have been possible without the tireless efforts of Flying Blue Forum member Gajan, who searched and researched long into the night for weeks on end. Everyone be sure to thank him, and maybe treat him to a beer or slice of cheese the next time you're in the Shengen lounge.
I've locked this thread to keep it neat and tidy. Please direct all your questions, complaints, discussion, and smart-assed comments about what difference does it make since nobody's flying them anymore anyway to the new thread made just for that purpose. All the old questions and discussion from this thread have been preserved there as well.
