This algorithm doesn't work when there is only one side window missing per row [and it seems to be on the port side only].

Flying AMS-PTY & LIM-AMS in Y and looking for some help regarding seat choice - keeping in memory me being 6.3 foot tall.
I could choose 37G on the MD11 - seatguru says it has more legspace but the G seats have the PTV box underneath or I could choose a normal window seat somewhere. What should it be?
On the way back LIM-AMS it's a 777-300ER and 40G is free - again more legspace according to seatguru but the PTV box... so 40G or any other seat?
Can you do the online checkin for the whole journey 30h before departure or just for the first leg when having a Europe-AMS-PTY connection?

You can only do online check in for the outbound and connecting 30 h prior flight. Otherwise you can always pay extra for the coveted Premium economy class seats.
I flew the 777 and found the seats very tight and I'm only 6'. The 77W is even tighter by what I was told by the cabin crew.

We're flying KL602 LAX-AMS in July. We're just casual flyers so yes, we'll be in economy.
Our questions:
1. Do KLM 747-400's have PTV or are the screens overhead?
2. Am sure all seats in econo are tight but please tell me they are a little wider and have just a bit more pitch than ANA. Just came home from Asia and believe me, the last 2.5 hours of the 11.5 hour flight were miserable.

I believe LAX-AMS is operated by 74M (combi) so chances are that you will still have the overhead screens. If your flight is operated by 744 (full pax) then chances for PTV are a lot higher.
I'm 6'2" and find them ok. You can select seats 90 days before departure using manage my booking on the KL (and AF) website. Exit rows become available 30 hours before departure on OLCI - at a cost for pax without KL/AF status.

Hi beauty,
To add to Michiel's answer:
On KL, you can also purchase access to Economy Comfort, which will give you 4 inches of extra legroom. For a long flight, it's well worth it.

A single from LAX to AMS costs €120 per segment per person. A discount of 50% is given if you are FB Gold or Skyteam Elite Plus and a discount of 25% is given if you are FB Silver.
