Hello there...I'm a CO PLAT and usually post on said board....but I have upcoming reward seats on KLM and had a few questions....I'm flying JFK-AMS-CDG on the first leg of my trip....doomed to coach as there were no seats available for my date....question #1...I believe that the equipment is a 747. Can you guys suggest some decent coach seats...I will need 2...I would rather have so that the armrest goes up.</font>
As you are CO-elite, you should qualify for the select seating-zone of the aircraft.
Try to get a seat in the front cabin and there try to get one of the two seat only rows in the middle-section. KL has a small portion in the fornt of the 743-aircraft that has Eco-seats between doors 1 and two, and this section (3-2IGalley configuration)is really nice. I have no idea, however, if the armrest is movable, as I never tried to move it.

If it's KL-metal, I think they just upgraded that route from a 767 to a MD-11, giving you their World Business Class instead of the old one. Depending on when you fly you may also end up with a vintage Northwest DC-10 on that route who take it over sometime later this year.
Hope this helps!
