The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 275 passengers across Business + Premium Economy + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. Seats are rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 2A, 2K, 3A, 3K, 4A, 4K. Another 61 seats are rated best or good. Look for 25 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 25A, 25B, 25C, 25D, 25E, 25G. Another 26 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
KLM has been progressively rolling out in-flight Wi-Fi across its fleet, and the 787-9 is among the aircraft equipped. Coverage and speed can vary by route and satellite footprint — it is reliable enough for messaging and light browsing on most intercontinental sectors, less so for heavy data tasks.
KLM assigns seats based on fare class and Flying Blue status. Economy passengers can select standard seats at booking for a fee, or free seat selection opens at check-in. Comfort seats (exit rows and preferred locations) carry a surcharge regardless of fare. Elite members and high-cabin fares often receive advance selection at no extra cost.
In a three-seat centre block it is the standard awkward position — no direct aisle or window, one armrest to share on each side. But three-three-three abreast keeps the block to just three seats, so the middle is only one seat away from the aisle rather than two as in a four-seat block. It is far from ideal, but more manageable than on KLM's ten-abreast 777s.
