Seats in Economy Class
When booking your KLM flight, you can reserve a seat that’s to your liking. Are you going for more space or a spot at the front of the aircraft?
Arranging your seat
You can choose a standard seat during check-in, at no additional costs. If you’d like to ensure that your preferred seat is yours, or if you want a more comfortable seat, you can reserve a seat via My Trip.
Searching for the price?
We can imagine you want to know the costs of each seat type. You can find this when booking your flight or in My Trip.
The seat price depends on your travel route, the time of day of your flight, your Flying Blue level, and more factors. Because of this, it’s impossible to show prices here without knowing your travel itinerary.
Sitting next to your kids
Are you travelling with children up to 11 years old? At least 4 days before departure, we’ll assign you your seats. If it’s not possible to have you all seated together, we always guarantee for each child that has their own seat to sit next to an adult from your group. Of course, you’re welcome to select seats for your family at an earlier stage, to ensure that you are all seated together.
