What is 'Europe Business' on a KLM 777-200
Hey guys,
Looking at an award ticket to JNB on Jan 23rd. Routing is MCI-DTW-AMS-JNB. The MCI-DTW-AMS is delta metal. AMS to JNB is KLM and shows as 'Europe Business'. I know these exists on shorter intra Europe routes, but no idea what that is on a 777. Any thoughts on this route? Will I be stuck in Y if this is ticketed on that segment? FARE CODE - CSV1200

It's just the system being confused. Euro Business is technically the flights within Europe/N. Africa/TLV. Normal coach seating but middle seat blocked.
I noticed same thing on my last JNB booking.

It's real business. It's just Delta's system not knowing what name to correctly call it.
KLM AMS/JNB and v.v. is a great flight It's one of the few with on demand dining. They serve a regular meal to start and then rest you order food from a menu. It's reversed on way back to AMS, on demand first, and meal served prior to arrival.

120k is the current cheapest for US/JNB. It's slowly crept up over last year with multiple increases. Most my award are J tickets to/from JNB. One of the best valuesfor miles is business JNB-NZ/OZ or v.v.

Yeah Europe Business is on the "domestic Europe flights" which is normal coach seats, middle seat blocked, and if it's just 2 seats on one side, everyone is in the window seat. You have more personalized service and even on a flight like BRU-AMS which flight time is 25 minutes, there's a cute little bag of a sandwich (which are really quite tasty, either egg salad or a potato salad with tomato/arugula) and a bottle of water/OJ, plus beverage service. You also get access to the lounge as well I believe.
Delta has a typo. I think officially the long hauls are World Business Class (which was co-branded with NW back in the day).

If you'd bothered to read past the original post, you would've noticed that that's not the case on the 777.
