The KLM B747-400 Combi has a passenger cabin configuration of C35W36Y197, with a total capacity of 268 passengers and 7 cargo positions in the rear. Sadly, there aren't many Combi aircraft made nowadays. This type of Boeing transports all kinds of cargo, from small packages to large animals, like elephants or horses. The B747-400 Combi has the ability to load cargo from its side cargo door. ![]() The aircraft registration was PH-BFW, City of Shanghai, delivered to KLM in October 2000 (19.5 years old) KLM B747-406 Combi PH-BFW, City of Shanghai KLM B747-406 Combi PH-BFW, City of Shanghai January 15th 2020, I flew KL685 from Amsterdam to Mexico City a route I specially chosen to be able to fly on the KLM B747-400 Combi. This is a photography report to highlight the special KLM B747 experience. The much beloved KLM Boeing 747 is facing an early retirement, at the end of March this year.īelow is a unique flight I took on the KLM B747-400 Combi, from Amsterdam to Mexico. Over the years, KLM has operated: B747-200 series, B747-300 Combi, B747-400, B747-400 Combi and B747-400 Cargo version.ĭue to the COVID-19 crisis, and its impact upon the aviation industry, airlines all over the world are retiring their older fleet sooner than planned. Known as the “Queen of the Skies” or the “Jumbo Jet”, the Boeing 747 has been part of KLM's fleet since 1971. How I got it: Purchased after reservation was made at Boeing 747 is KLM's biggest aircraft in their fleet. Members of the Flying Blue Program receive discounts as follows: Silver – 25%, Gold 50%, Platinum- Complimentary. SkyTeam Elite Plus members (Delta Airlines Gold & up) receive 50% off. Strategy: Seats in economy comfort cost between 60 and 150 EUR. The normal (non-exit) seats in this elevated economy offer a little of both and provide a good compromise. The seats in these rows aren’t the best if you require extra width, but ideal for stretching out. ![]() Summary: Each seat in economy comfort has up to 4 inches of additional legroom, and even more if you can grab 9B, 9C or 11D, 11E. Not something you’re able to do on most airlines (to the best of my knowledge) but a brilliant move if you can. More than one of us attempted to steal his aisle seat but it turns out that he purchased the entire row. Notes: I noticed the gentleman in the row behind us had all 3 seats to himself. Keeping yourself entertained is easy with personal televisions at each seat, but the lack of in-seat power may keep you dependent upon KLM’s selection of movies and a couple of “30 Rock” re-runs that you’ve already seen on other flights. ![]() In regards to seat width, this is most certainly economy sans comfort as your tray table and personal TV eat up valuable side-body real estate. What I ended up with was a very normal exit row seat with even more legroom than the others in this section. The Seat: With everyone abuzz about Delta Airlines introduction of their version of premium economy that’s similar to KLM Economy Comfort service aboard long-haul flights, I thought it might be a good idea to check out their partner KLM’s version of this slightly “less annoying than coach” offering. ![]()
