KLM ECONOMY CLASS CUSTOMER SEAT REVIEW  - 13 February 2010 by C Mangold (USA)

My husband and I flew from Chicago to Amsterdam in the economy class. The armrest did not raise on the flight to Amsterdam, but on the return flight it did. This made no difference. It was very uncomfortable seating. I am 5' 4" and weigh 145lbs. I could not get comfortable. I could not move my legs. My husband is still complaining about hip pain due to the tight seating.

It was a 13 hour night flight from Singapore to Amsterdam. The worst thing about the seat was its hardness. However I twisted I could not get comfortable, and sleep was barely possible. I will not fly KLM again for a long haul flight because of this.

KLM ECONOMY CLASS CUSTOMER SEAT REVIEW  - 23 January 2010 by Wessel Krauss (China)

KLM is flying from AMS to PVG with the "Vintage KLM 747-400 Combi" No individual tv screens, no leg room (I am only 1.75 mtr tall). They have now introduced the Premium Seats in the old Business Class section (better known as the "pijpenla") and the try to rip you off at an additional EURO 125 per flight sector (one way) to have more leg room. I am Dutch and live in Shanghai but when I can avoid it I do not fly KLM anymore. Shame on KLM, it used to be one of the best airlines in the world, now they are just the low cost carrier for Air France.

KLM  ECONOMY CLASS  SEAT REVIEW  - 17 January 2010 by Ralph Janssen (Netherlands)

Very tight seats. My knees were cramped an if the passenger in front of me reclined his seat I couldn't move anymore! AVOD was very hard to see when reclined.

KLM  ECONOMY CLASS  SEAT REVIEW  - 4 December 2009 by Justin Maxwell (South Africa)

It seemed like a new plane, and had personal screens for entertainment, but I found the seats tight. I ended up climbing across the armrests to get in and out of my seat. Once the seat in front of me was pushed back I had to slouch down in my seat to see a decent image on my screen. I'll avoid KLM in the future.

KLM  ECONOMY CLASS  SEAT REVIEW  - 10 November 2009 by Manuel Roos (Netherlands)

Completely ridiculous small seat pitch in such a large aircraft for such a long flight (more than 10 hours). The seats were old, no private screens but central placed screens. Although I am Dutch I will never fly KLM again.

KLM ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 7 February 2009 by Chris McMahon  (USA)

SFO-AMS and AMS-SFO. The last 3 rows or so have only 2 seats between the aisle and window. These are the best seats in economy. You'll be the last off, but much more comfortable on a 11 hour flight. Lots of room on the side of the window seat for carry on. More engine noise. I thought FAs were reasonably polite.

KLM ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 7 January 2009 by M Kurvers  (South Africa)

JNB-AMS. Little 37cm overhead TV's are archaic, serve no purpose whatsoever. Im a small sized woman (aisle seat), and my Husband small (middle seat), and fortunately the lady sitting on the window seat small too, even with this when ever either of them needed the loo, it was event, we eventually all went together- all out, all in scenario. They say Holland is the land of Giants, well what airline do they travel on? Sat in row 52, right opp kitchen- smelly, noisy and what later became an emergency ward for a a passenger who fainted (probably from the claustrophobia). Can only hope trip home via Paris is on one of Air France's new air-busses.

KLM ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 10 December 2008 by Ron Jacobs  (Netherlands)

KLM should have got rid of the MD-11's way back. They just started refitting the cabin, but I my opinion it's a waste of money and time. Even though the whole cabin was redone, legroom is still very poor. Seat width is ok, so is the recline. There are no personal screens (the installation has apparently been delayed over million times now) and never mind looking at the overhead screens, they're rubbish, very blurry and small.
