Seat in the Economy Comfort zone
Get comfortable on intercontinental flights! Our Economy Comfort Zone gives you up to 10 cm (4 inches) of extra legroom and up to double the reclining angle. What’s more, the zone is located in the front of the aircraft, so upon arrival you’ll be among the first to be on your way. The service in the Economy Comfort zone is the same as in Economy Class.
Arrange
Reserve your seat in the Economy Comfort zone from 90 days before departure, on most intercontinental flights operated by KLM! Simply do it yourself:
- when booking your flight
- via Manage my Booking
- when checking in online at KLM.com or at a self-service machine at the airport – depending on the check-in services at your departure airport.
If you are a Flying Blue Platinum member or if you travel on a fully flexible Economy ticket, you can also reserve your seat in the Economy Comfort zone via a travel agent.
Price
The price for a seat in the Economy Comfort zone is from EUR 60 to 150 per one way, depending on the duration of the flight. If you are a Flying Blue Platinum member or if you travel on a fully flexible Economy ticket, you can get a seat in the Economy Comfort zone free of charge. Flying Blue Gold members and SkyTeam Elite Plus members of our partner airlines receive a 50% discount. Flying Blue Silver members pay 25% less. All you need is a credit card.

Seat with extra legroom
A bit more legroom goes a long way.

The number of seats with extra legroom is limited, so get one while they are available.
You can buy a seat with extra legroom for EUR 20 to 70 per KLM flight from 90 days before departure:
- when booking your intercontinental flight
- via Manage my Booking (on intercontinental flights only)
when you check in online at KLM.com or via our self-service machines at the airport – depending on the check-in services at your departure airport.

You can reserve a seat in a row of 2 for EUR 30 per flight from 90 days before departure:
- when booking your flight
- via Manage my Booking
- when you check in online at KLM.com or via our self-service machines at the airport – depending on the check-in services at your departure airport.

Changing your seat and refunds
Log on to Manage my Booking to:
- Change your extra comfortable seat to a seat of the same type on the same flight – free of charge
- Change your extra comfortable seat to another type on the same flight (for example, changing a seat with extra legroom to a seat in the Economy Comfort zone) – at an additional charge.
If you have reserved an extra comfortable seat and you change your flight times or dates, you need to reserve an extra comfortable seat again on the new flight. You may then apply for a refund of the costs of the extra comfortable seat on the original flight.
Refund
We will do our utmost to assign the seat you have chosen, whether you reserved a seat in the Economy Comfort zone, a seat with extra legroom, a seat in a row of 2, or a regular Economy Class seat. Due to unforeseen circumstances we could decide to reallocate your seat. If this happens, we are very sorry and apologize for the inconvenience. You may be entitled to a refund, which you can easily apply for online.
