3. Yes you can select the seat after booking. However, when the flight is very full and you do not have FB status, KLM might block seats and seat selection is only available upon check in.
4. KLM has a very good personal service, I think they stand out from other airlines. Catering is hit and miss, but since the new catering since end of October 2018, the reviews are getting better. IFE is ok, however screen is not HD.
5. Yes you are correct. In fact the whole KLM long haul fleet is by december 2018 equipped with lie-flat seats.

Thanks for this quick and very useful reply!

Re #3 : If in fact KLM blocks seats until check-in, is there any way to ensure we get two seats together, or do we simply hope for the best?
