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.
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).
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...
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
I’ll definitely try the KLM Premium Economy on my next long haul flight. I use British Airways Premium Economy & it sounds similar & it definitely sucks to have to use the economy toilets.
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
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 :)
I found on s recent long flight i found myself sliding out the seat when reclined. Fully reclined seats in front come right back into your personal space and it's almost impossible to get out your seat.
Thanks for this detailed review! I usually do business at least one way (if I get it at a sensible price, ie not £5k 😂) but I’m trying this class in November. Looking forward to it now…the price seemed fair. I hate flying, so anything extra helps.
I just wanted to see a video of what KLM premium economy is so I watched your video. Thank you. It looks like you have y bunch of videos I'm interested in. New subscriber❤❤
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
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?
Flew from Amsterdam to JFK and when the people in front of you put their seats back/ recline you have to be a contortionist to get out of your seat. It is absurd.
Hello everyone! 😀 Have you tried KLM's Premium Comfort Class - how did you find the experience?

Thanks for sharing this information. That's v interesting to know what the business class toilets are like!
Very nice video. Will be flying KLM Premium Economy class in July. Chicago to Amsterdam.
Thanks so much for saying! I really appreciate the feedback and safe travels in July :)
This was excellent - a really good video. Thanks
Thank you, I appreciate you saying this!

Thanks so much for your comment and also the addition on the economy configuration.
Nice video, interesting information, thanks!👍
Thank you Jack, always appreciate your positive feedback!
I choose the light premium economy! Thank you for the information!
That's great!
I enjoyed your video and you have a lovely manner of speaking. I am flying back to ATL on KLM Premium comfort and your video was very reassuring.

Thank you for sharing your comment here. That's an interesting point about it potentially increasing your chances on a good upgrade deal too.
145 EUR price for an upgrade is actually quite good!.
Usually Premium Comfort are 2-2,5x the price of economy.
Thank you for your feedback here! That's v interesting to know, and I'm happy to have got a good price on it!

@@patrickkfoy thanks for sharing your experiences here :) For a 10 hour flight, I definitely use the bathroom more than 1-2 times though!

Also, my upgrade was 185 instead of 145 EUR
That’s interesting to hear your experience, and also about the foot rest and price too. Thank you for sharing! :)
Informative video and has helped me chose to go with this to Kuala Lumpur.
I'm glad this was helpful to you! Thank you for the feedback.

They looked solid, but I didn't use them in the end.

How much was this?
@@emon9600 I can’t remember the ticket price, but the cost of the upgrade is mentioned in the video.
145 euro is a absolute bsrgain girl good job .
Normally you pay 2,5 times more than economy .
Hi Gerrit, thank you for your feedback on this. V glad to know it was a bargain :)
very well
thank you
Last time I flew with KLM was 1998, never again!
Ok!
Over 25 years ago. Why are you interested in the video then? 😊

I'm afraid I've never tried Economy Comfort.
