I just booked a couple of KLM flights through the Delta website. The seating chart labeled the seats at the front of the coach cabin Economy Comfort and sold them at what I considered a very reasonable price. These seats offer extra legroom and recline. Right behind them are seats labeled "Preferred," and the benefit of these seats is that you can "Fly more privately in a row of two." There was no extra fee to book these. This is on a 787-9 and I failed to look at the aircraft type before I booked or I wouldn't have booked it. But if there are only two people in a 3-across row that is something to look forward to. I would gladly go without extra legrom in exchange for not having a stranger touch me for six hours.

Oddly enough, when I hover my cursor over an empty preferred seat it gives a "row of two" message, but when I hover over my actual reserved seat it just gives me the legroom and recline amount. The KLM website describes the "row of two" seats as being in the back of the plane, not the front.

Does anyone have experience with this? You can bet I'm going to be watching the seating chart like mad.

Edited to add two photos, one which shows description of empty seat, the other which shows the description of my selected seat. So the description changes after I select it. I'm inclined to think this is a glitch and that I haven't discovered the Philosopher's Stone.
