KLM flights to Kilimanjaro (JRO) from AMS
Flying on a KLM Boeing 777-200 - with rows 1-6 for business and rows 10-44 in economy. I want to get off the plane as fast as possible to queue quickly for purchasing a Visa because lines can get really long.
Does KLM always use both a front and back door for deplaning passengers at small airports without jetways? Will they typically use the door between business and economy at about row 6 as the front door?
We are currently in row 18, but row 40 in the back is available. So should we change our seats and only be 4 rows from back door? My only concern is that they do not always use the back door??
thanks for any comments.

So think I should just stay in row 18 - would only be 8 rows from the door esp if it is opened first. Do attendants usually make economy wait until all business class has deplaned if using door 2?

Make sure you have a pen!
Make sure you have US 50 or US 100 in exact change (depending on where you from)
Make sure you have your vaccinations in order
when you arrive walk to the terminal and enter look left. You will see immigration desks
the visa office is at the opposite side of the hall next to
Immigration desks
the situation always changes but you have to normally pay first at this desk.
the form you get in the airplane is enough. Fill that in Completely also the things you might not know such as hotel address.
Just for for example write Hotel x in town Y. That is enough.
You will be send after payment to different desks to have a picture taken and in the end get your visa.
and enjoy the Africa way in how it goes.
The fromt door door will always open first. you will be standing in line as most of the business class pax will also get a visa on arrival.
