I had the misfortune to be on the IAD-AMS flight on Friday in 14G - Definitely not a good seat at all if you are tall - ver limited ability to stretch your legs. Apart from that and the generally shabby interior of the "Garbialdi Bridge" the thing I noticed the most is that KLM 767's lack individual air nozzles in Economy - this coupled with the fact that a 767 has far less air volume inside it than a 777/DC-10/A330 etc (being so narrow) meant that I spent the whole 7 hours (on the completely packed flight) feeling like I was suffocating...

I feel for you. I wandered up to 14 later in the flight to see who had ended up with my seats, and it was a veritable third world picnic going on.

The funny part was in the end, my partner's mother did end up with 14E, and the family in 14CD with infant kept offering her $5 to switch seats with another family member of theirs. UG!
