SCHIPHOL - The brand new Premium Comfort Class will be available on almost all intercontinental KLM flights this year. The Premium Comfort Class can also be booked on flights to Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire, KLM regional manager Dirk Buitelaar confirmed.

The Premium Comfort Class is a separate travel class in a separate cabin with a different type of seat. These are wider and have more recline. There will be 7.5 cm more legroom than in Economy Comfort, where the passenger will have 89 cm of legroom at their disposal.

"A phased conversion of the fleet is taking place," says Buitelaar. The travel class between Economy and Business will be introduced next summer on the Boeing 777 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
