So... did KL get a sweet deal on these last NG (that is a weird name now... with the Next Next Gen version out).

@ NWI airport. PH-BGN (737-700) just landed. Very big airplane for NWI.... looking forward to the 'upgrade', flying on this plane. Hopefully I do not have to go by BUS @ AMS!

PH-BCG managed to make a full flight from Boeing Field in Seattle, to Glasgow... Arrived Glasgow at 0809HRS this morning.
I'd expect the Ivory Bird will make it to Amsterdam at some point today.

Despite FR24 not showing it, I am now being told that Ivory Gull has got to Amsterdam already.

PH-BCG will make its debut between Amsterdam and Göteborg tomorrow on KLM1161. Would be great if anyone onboard could get some new interior photos!

I have pics via a friend who got to fly it. Seats look not comfortable, (fake) leather material used in blue colour.
all seats come with USB. Armrests are small and short... magazines and safetycard places behind the headrest (not in front of the knees). Traytable is like half-size compared to the regular 737 fleet.

Will KLM refurbish excisting frames as well?

What a suprise!

Has your friend confirmed that they are as uncomfortable as they look?

By "full flight", you surely don't mean that all seats were occupied....do you??
