And as it is often necessary to embellish reality, marketing has come up with a fantastic idea. <strong>More seats on board to improve comfort<\/strong>.

At the same time, work is also underway to refurbish the cabins of the long-haul fleet, which will increase the number of seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KLM will introduce <strong>a new service formula in Economy class. <\/strong>The aim is to serve hot meals more quickly and create more space for personal contact with passengers.
