KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 787-10 (318 seats)

318 seats: 28 good, 26 mixed, 18 to avoid

Best seats

  • Row 1, seat A (World Business Class): front row of World Business Class at the window, with direct aisle access.
  • Rows 2–9, seats A and K (World Business Class): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
  • Row 10, seat A (World Business Class): last Business row has only the window seats, so the cabin's rear is quiet; the galley is behind.
  • Row 10, seat K (World Business Class): set back from the aisle, so it is more private

Seats to avoid

  • Row 26, seats D, E and G (Economy Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
  • Row 27, seat A (Economy Class): backs onto the mid-cabin lavatories: limited recline and a queue beside you.
  • Row 27, seats B, C, H, J and K (Economy Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
  • Row 46, seats A, B and C (Economy Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
