New KLM Business Class

[Smoketrails]

Anybody got any idea which B744's are scheduled for the new business class refit?

My understanding is that all KLM's 747 will be retrofitted in due time, but they're starting with those in the Asia livery. (I'm happy to be corrected on this, but this is something I recall reading in their inflight magazine a few months ago.)

Any updates on this?! They should have started already.

The entire 747 fleet is scheduled to be reconfigured between July of 2013 and April of 2014, after which the 777 fleet will begin to be reconfigured. I guess the bad news is that they’re reducing the number of business class seats on the 747 from 42 to 35, which will likely make award tickets even tougher to come by.

jackieofalltrades,

Thanks, but this I know. I was wondering if anybody has been lucky enough to fly the new C-class on KL? And which B744's have already gone through the conversions?
