KLM » B777-300ER

The 425-seat B777-300ER is the newest aircraft in the KLM fleet, the first two being coming into operation in 2008. The carrier is also in the process of taking delivery of four more. The planes are fitted with two classes, economy with 390 seats, and World Business Class with 35 seats.

The newer of KLM's two business class offerings is featured on the B777-300ER, which includes angled lie-flat seats with a 60-inch (152cm) pitch and 170-degree recline. Seats slide back to form a bed which is 74 inches (1.9 metres) long and has a width of 20 inches (51cm). The seat can be adjusted electronically with three pre-set positions, upright (for take-off and landing), a z-shaped relax position, and a sleeping position.

The seat also features adjustable headrest, lumbar support with massage function, privacy canopy, dimmable reading light, bottle holder, personal telephones (wall telephones are also available), in-seat power and an in-arm video screen measuring 10.4 inches (26cm). State-of-the-art AVOD is in place with handheld (seat-based) control units and access to over 60 movies, and the ability to send SMS messages.
