While I try to go out of my way to review new and unique products for Live And Let’s Fly, when a 60,000 mile Flying Blue award on KLM in World Business Class on the 787-10 opened to Los Angeles, I booked it. My flight was great, with really good food and plenty of rest, though there was one shortcoming.
I realize I just reviewed this same aircraft on the same route only a year ago (review here), but even year-to-year it’s nice to see how a product changes and this flight reinforced how much I like KLM…not as a leading business class product, but as a solid one with consistently excellent service and nice touches like the Delft Blue houses as souvenirs.
KLM charges for seating, even though I have to SkyTeam Elite Plus status with SAS, but I was able to choose a window seat during check-in (otherwise 129EUR). The reverse herringbone seat on the 787-10 does not have doors like the new KLM business class product, but it is quite comfortable and the bedding is excellent.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
