What is Seat Choice?
Seat Choice lets you choose from two kinds of Economy Class seats. A number of seats in the aircraft provide extra legroom; the other Seat Choice seats are located in a row with just two seats so that you have more privacy.
Seat Choice is available on intercontinental flights operated by KLM. On flights operated by Northwest Airlines you can opt for Coach Choice. Coach Choice allows you to choose exit, aisle or window seats.
When can you opt for Seat Choice?
When checking in online, you can make use of Seat Choice on all intercontinental flights operated by KLM. This service is not available, however, when you depart from Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru or the United States of America.
You can make use of Coach Choice on flights operated by Northwest Airlines, departing from Amsterdam, with the destinations Boston, Detroit, Hartford/Springfield, Memphis, Minneapolis, New York (Newark International Airport), Portland-Oregon and Seattle.
Reserving and paying for Seat Choice
You can make use of the Seat Choice option when you check in online between 30 hours and 1 hour previous to departure.

The cost is EUR 50.00 per seat per flight and is payable by credit card only.
