Sounds like a good trade to me.

When did the NW upgrades for FB Elites end? I always liked the close integration, as a NW Gold or Plat KLM always treated me like one of their own elites, in the days when KLM treated it elites well.

They have started with the re-alignment on A330's and 772's now.
Both will have one row of seats removed and have four rows of Eco +.

On the 77W's they will not remove any seats but realign the current seats (which currently have more legroom in the zone between doors 1 and 2).
So Eco + gets more than now and Eco gets less although still 31 inches or more.

Entire widebody fleet will be completed before Dec 1st apparently.

My dad flew back from Delhi last weekend and was impressed with the legroom.

I thought KL's industry leading world class premium cabin (WBC) was located between doors 1 and 2 (or 11 and 12, in KL parlance)? Could certainly do with another 4" of pitch, that's for sure.

I am wondering if those extra seats will be available also for ST E+ that are for example from OK+.

Besides the point made by Johan, do you mean that B77W will also have 4 rows of Comfort Economy?

I would say that the B77W would not need more room compared to the other types, as these at least have pod-seats.
Fancy trying to climb out of your seat when the three people in front of you have reclined their seat in a B772 in WBC!

True, but remove a row, like on KQ (and IB is now following suit), and hey presto! there's room for true flat-bed seats. Now that would be something.

My mistake, I meant doors 2L and 3L (is that 12 and 13 in KLM terms?).

It seems KL has adjusted its seatmap available online -

http://www.klm.com/travel/nl_en/trav.../777-200ER.htm

On the B772, B773, MD11 and B747M row 13 has been removed which could mean economy comfort will be dedicated to rows (9), 10, 11 and 12.

AFAIK KLM has never had a row 13 on any of their aircraft.

Rgs,
Nonsense, KLM has never had row 13 on any plane.
On 747 it's row 18 that has been removed and the entire zone between doors 1L and 2L are Economy Comfort, not just the first 4 rows.
