Flew KLM Economy Comfort NRT-AMS-NRT.
NOT impressed. 32" waist and still felt so cramped.
Dreadful seating, service same as Y class and no extras.
REAL Economy Comfort I have flown have been TK and AF.
NO more KLM for me -- not worth it and told my company based in AMS that I would even pay that little extra to fly on non-KLM. Felt the economy part but not the comfort!

Finnair will soon also introduce a longhaul "premium economy light", which will also be called Economy Comfort:
- 35" pitch
- improved headrest
- amenity kit
- priority boarding
For this they will charge between €45 and €65.
KL charges twice as much for what? 34" pitch and bit more recline.

I am not sure which one is less likely - KL dropping the price for EC on LH flights or improving the service (e.g. amenity kit). Obviously I would prefer the latter.

Every now and then I check people in for AMS-MNL, flights that are mostly (nearly) full. Each and every time the seatmap shows the vast majority of paid-for seats still available.

But are all those EC seats filled with paying pax, or just those who checked in late?

Sure there must be some formula behind it.

KL should recognize your status as a FB elite (+)
Are you a non-FB elite (ie Delta SM)? Cause the ict of KL still has problems recognize the correct status of those elites.
