Speaking to one of the flight crew on my return flight from HK, KLM will continue using the combi 747 on the AMS -HKG route for a while yet, they have a high passenger/cargo yield. It did surprise me to find the 747combi had no personal tv, only overhead monitors.Originally posted by mupsuit@Feb 10 2006, 10:58 AM
Booking a Seat
PS - The aircraft type used by KLM to Manila is a Boeing 777 I found this to be a much better aircraft than the B-747 - the seat configuration is 3-3-3 compared to the 747 configuration of 3-4-3 I found the lower passenger load made for a better flight
Plus the inflight entertainment was significantly better than the 747 as each seat could individually select the movie of choice from about 100 features
