Hi,

i just made my booking on KLM.com for my upcoming trip from MCT to STR.
I was automatically given 11 G for both ways for he long houl. Did anyone have an advice if this seat is good or not or will it be better to change it?

Thanks,

AF 001

AFAIK this is a standard aisle seat. Nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks Brobbel,

than I will ask more specific :-):
Any seat somebody can recommend in Economy KLM's A330-200?

Thank you

Temporarily locking this while I do some housekeeping.

will fly AMS-MEX mid july and i was wondering if the 744 Combi will be refurbished or if i have to bring a good book ? :-)

All 747's are refurbished with AVOD in C, in Y there is no AVOD (only overhead screens)

All 744 will be refurbished with AVOD in Y as well as with the new premium economy by the end of the year.

July would be too early though.

Which are the exit rows on the 737 (i.e. 737-700) and 738?

Are there two rows each, and which ones are reserved for Elite Plus, leaving what for everyone else.

I find instead of showing the exit row as unavailable online check-in just shows the rows as non-existent.

Thank you

Check the seatmaps on the KLM website, linked trhough. You will find that the exit rows vary between the types and therefore selection can be tricky.

-300 (which are rapidly leaving the fleet now) has a single exit row (10), row 9 has no window seats but has more legroom. 10A and 10F are great for legroom!

-400 has two rows (11 and 12)

-700 has one exit row (10) NB I cannot confirm the seatmap as correct, not having flown the type yet.

-800 has two rows (12 and 14).

-900 has two rows (15 and 16).

Make sure you login to FB before OLCI and - in my experience - the exit rows will be highlighted with a yellow icon and a little 'e', showing availability for 0 euro for elites. Sometimes only row 12 is highlighted and row 11 only has the little 'e' indicating exit row. This may happen when they aren't sure of using a -400 or -800 (I have found this to be the case with the LHR routes).

No guarantee that you will have an exit row as they can change between the types at short notice.

They will usually fill the exit rows so that there are people to operate the doors in case of an emergency. So if you want a better chance of an empty middle seat next to you, don't select the exit rows - or fly LH C class :-)

There is no guarantee as such therefore, PE can try and get these seats for free, other people have to pay but in practice will usually sit there as a result of random seat assignments by the computers and without paying.

OT: the 'new' KLC F70s (recently arrived ex AF) have a huge amount of legroom in row 11, as the seat pitch for the other 16 rows seems to be less than the normal KLC configuration.

I am flying KLM from LHR-AMS-JFK in October, in C. These are FB award tickets. When can I request seats and can I do this online?

KL paid C seats in are usually available 90 days out (s/h and l/h) but I'm not sure for awards; should be the same, though. But if the AMS-JFK leg is on the NW-operated flight (dep. 08:15), then you'll have to go to nwa.com to make your seat assignments (type in your KL PNR and the website will give you an equivalent NW/DL PNR).

I just spoke to a KLM rep while trying to select a seat for a CPT-AMS leg in October. Although the KLM website lists it as a 772, the configuration as described by the rep is different than what is shown on the KLM website or seatguru as follows:

Rep description:
777 (Flight 598)
C= 2-2-2; Rows 1-5 and 10-13 (same as DL 772ER)
Y= 2-5-2; not sure which rows (but configuration not same as any on DL, NW, or KLM 777 per Seatguru)

KLM Website and Seatguru:
772ER
C=2-3-2; Rows 1-5
Y=3-3-3

773ER
C=2-3-2; Rows 1-5
Y=3-4-3

The rep noted that they may be acquiring another carrier's metal due to the DL/NW merger, but I can't find any with the above configuration on KL, DL, or NW. Any ideas?

Unless they are bringing the NW DC10 fleet back - which are the only aircraft I remember with 2-5-2, the KL rep is likely to be mistaken.
