Improved/Added Premium Economy on AF/KL
Yesterday during the Shareholders meeting/GA there seemed to be a few updates on AF/KL Premium Economy:
- New dedicated meal/"main dish" on AF Premium Economy starting May 2022 (different than Economy as it was until now);
- From summer 2022 the Boeing 777 will start replacing the shell seats with the recliner seats from the A350 on AF;
- KLM will add Premium Economy as "Premium Comfort" starting summer 2022 and fully rolled out by the end of 2023;
- KLM seats will have a 38" pitch, 8" recline and 6.7" extra legroom (not clear if compared to Economy Comfort or to Economy). No info on meal offering or other soft service elements;

Just curious
By adding a new class Premium Economy, do you think people who is flying Economy Comfort, can have a good surprise in the next months ? Same, but in other way : people who booked a Premium Economy, will fly Economy Comfort, because the new seats are delayed?
How they manage ? Do they have a accurate schedule which inform the commercial department when to start to sale the new seats ?

Also I checked yesterday and the KLM website now integrates Premium Comfort in all its pages (or in most). It seems Premium Comfort will also have a separate meal than Economy.

But when this gets sorted at least we’ll have a bit more options, especially to North America, with Delta/AF/KL all having PE. The price might go a bit down as extra capacity/supply appears on those routes.
