Air France-KLM Business Class, Up To 9 Seats |
| Air France-KLM Flying Blue devalued business class award rates recently, but we were told more saver level award space would be opening up to members. Sadly, we haven’t really seen that happen on U.S. routes (yet?).
Still, we were able to find some dates in smaller chunks across the schedule. Considering how difficult it’s been to book at saver level, this could be a good time to lock in an Air France or KLM business class award.
Now, let’s get into it! |

| Flight Experience
Air France
Most Air France aircraft have a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout in business class. Some Airbus A350s, have a staggered 1-2-1 layout similar to United Polaris.
If you fly an Airbus A350 with the reverse herringbone layout or one of the refurbished Boeing 777-300s with the new reverse herringbone seats, the bulkhead is one of the best business class seats in the sky.
You can typically expect quality inflight catering with a solid crew. However, service quality can vary from flight to flight.
KLM
Their newest business class product can be found on their Boeings 777s. It’s arranged in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout and each seat has a privacy door.
Your next best option is on a Boeing 787 which has a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout, but without doors. With either layout, you’ll have a lie-flat seat with direct aisle access.
I would avoid their Airbus A330 if possible as it’s a 2-2-2 layout. While it provides a lie-flat seat, you don’t get much privacy and only the middle section has direct aisle access without your neighbor needing to step over you.
Generally speaking, I prefer KLM’s crews to Air France. However, the catering isn’t top of the line so you might prefer Air France for that reason. |
