Seat Selection

Seat Selection at Charge: It is now the industry standard for seat selection to be at a cost and can only be booked directly through the airline, seat costs are per person per flight. Seat selection can only be completed once your flights have been ticketed, this typically happens automatically roughly 4 weeks prior to travel. However, if purchasing a seat is very important to you please touch base with your consultant directly any time after your final payment has been made and they can request early ticketing on your behalf, this will allow you seat selection access within 24 hours via KLM’s My Trip portal.

Cabins
