KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has unveiled a new cabin class offering called Premium Comfort, bringing the carrier in line with others who have been offering premium economy seats for years.
According to KLM, Premium Comfort will feature between 21 and 28 seats depending on the aircraft type and will offer a class with “more space, luxury, service options, comfort and privacy” than economy seats at a lower price point than its World Business Class.
The Premium Comfort seat offers more legroom than a standard economy seat, as well as a larger entertainment screen and a footrest. They can also recline further than economy seats.
KLM said the seats were designed in collaboration with Collins Aerospace to be lighter than previous designs. In addition, catering supplies were chosen to be either reusable or made from recycled materials.
Passengers will have a “more flexible” baggage allowance as well as SkyPriority privileges, including preferential check-in and boarding, according to the carrier.
The first aircraft to be fitted with the new cabin class will operate routes to North America, with the airline planning to put tickets on sale from the end of July 2022. KLM says the cabin will be installed on other aircraft and routes in due course.
