KLM launches Economy Comfort option

KLM has introduced its new Economy Comfort zone, which offers some additional luxuries for people travelling in economy class.

Located in the front section of the economy cabin, the new area allows passengers to disembark first.

Economy Comfort customers will also be able to enjoy 10cm more leg room in a seat that reclines twice as far as the standard option.

Service and meals will be the same in the new zone as in KLM's standard economy cabin.

The airline revealed that more than 1,500 Economy Comfort seats will be available every day to passengers willing to pay additional fees starting from €80 (£72).

To promote its new offering, KLM hosted a special event at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam this week that featured a 'gliding act' performed by magician Ramana.

The stunt was arranged to tie in with the airline's new advertising campaign, which shows passengers sitting in invisible seats and seemingly floating in mid-air.
