Putting KLM’s new Premium Economy to the test!

Описание: Curious about KLM’s brand new Premium Economy product, aka Premium Comfort? I flew it for 10+ hours from Amsterdam to San Francisco with the goal of finding out whether it’s worth the extra money, onboard a brand new 787-10 Dreamliner. Also included is an atmospheric early morning departure from Stockholm Arlanda onboard the 737-900 in “Economy Comfort”, which is somewhat confusingly just the extra legroom economy class product, and I test out the Crown Lounge at Amsterdam Schiphol as well. So come along for this detailed trip report and review with some really nice views along the way plus plenty of KLM vibes of course. And let me know what you think!
