  • In this video, I’ll be running through what it’s like traveling in KLM’s Premium Comfort Class on an overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam. This cabin class lies in between KLM business class and KLM economy class, and is akin to something like premium economy. It’s worth noting that Premium Comfort Class is not yet available on all KLM flights; but by the end of 2024, all KLM Boeing 777 and 787 planes (doing intercontinental flights) should have this.

    Nice video! I never used it, but on my flight to Beijing this August, I had a diference of only 100€ from economy. Glad I chose to buy it. The diference between leg room already made it worth it

    Finally a comprehensive review on KLM Premium comfort, nice! Cant wait to try for myself in a few months, I'm totally on the same page about the seat in front reclining into your space, so I'm taking the bulkhead. Sky Priority seems like a great perk, especially flying from crowded Schiphol. A little correction/addition: the config can be 2-3-2 or 2-4-2 depending on the aircraft (B787 or B777).

    5:50 Having flown long-haul business class on a couple Asian airlines, the bathrooms aren't posh and not noticeably larger. The only benefit is that there are fewer people using them, and there may be some nicer lotions or toiletries.

    always find on the plane KLM staff are brilliant, although my last flight with them was the exception to the rule, the service centre on the phone I have found to be terrible (UK). have flights booked to PERU at the end of October in premium comfort, at 6ft 2 I need the extra space especially on a 13hr flight. good video, get an idea what to expect, wouldn't mind an upgrade to business class though :)

    Fully reclined seats in front come right back into your personal space and it's almost impossible to get out your seat.

    My wife and I live in SFO and to get to West/Central European cities we have several options. KLM provides the best value for the buck of any of the premium economy experiences of any airline, including AF and UA. You can fly to Schiphol and then change planes very easily.
    For a 10 hour flight to AMS, it’s well worth the additional investment, but to get good seats you have to book early. There may be 21-30 seats in premium economy but maybe 12-16 in the outside seats. Agree that having access to an upgraded restroom would be nice but it would just cost more. And you might use the bathroom 1-2 times for the whole flight.

    I love KLM's Premium Economy and wished the regular upgrade price is EUR 145. The extra space is worth it to me by itself, and I do like the smaller cabin, service and slightly better food. If you do not have Elite Plus status than the Skyteam priority would potentially save you quite some time in Amsterdam with the quicker check-in and security. Finally I expect that Premium economy may increase your chances on a good upgrade deal to business...

    Felt the exact same way. Actually got a few hours of sleep, my foot rest was stuck and I did not figure out how to make it go all the way down! I didnt see any menu card though, and i read somewhere that they have espresso martini but seen nothing like that… despite extra space in seat and for feet, still felt kind of narrow and tight, if the people in front of you have their seat all the way back it is quite annoying to get out of your seat.

    All KLM 787 have Premium Comfort the 777-300ER are almost completely refrubished for Premium Comfort leaving 15 777-200ER for modification . KLM is like other airlines and subject to equipment changes therefore until all their fleet are modified and you might still find you are downgraded despite purchasing a premium comfort seat . Thank you for your excellent review.

      No you will never be downgraded by an airline, they have to upgrade you if they can’t provide what you payed for not downgrade you, this is false information

    145 EUR price for an upgrade is actually quite good!.
    Usually Premium Comfort are 2-2,5x the price of economy.

      Agree - at 145 EUR extra for something like this, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. I currently have a quote of 151 EUR for an upgrade from Economy to Economy Comfort for a similar-length flight, and the step up to Premium Comfort seems considerably larger.

    • @MercedesBenxx
      @MercedesBenxx 3 місяці тому +3

      @@gluffoful Yea, Premium Economy is a much more defined product. with better service. so 145 EUR is a steal for a long flight.
      However, on a very long economy comfort flight the extra leg room definitely helps. Especially if the seat next to you happens to be empty. I had the best 14hr flight of my life with Economy Comfort and an empty seat next to me.

    I have a intercontinentaal flight with KLM, but this option is still not available. There is the option of Economy Comfort, but this costs 93 euros per flight. Never done it, but not sure if it worth it :/
    Do you think this price worth it for Economy Comfort?
