Trip Report: KLM's Economy Comfort Class Experience | KLM 787-10 | Amsterdam – Chicago | AMS – ORD

Hello and welcome back to yet another Trip Report! Today I have one of the most exciting flights I’ve taken in quite awhile with all of the in-depth analysis you could ask for. As seems to be the case with all trips I take, I added an extra layover on the way home so that I could try out a more “luxurious” product. This one happens to be onboard KLM’s largest Dreamliner, the 787-10. The flight itself was one of the most positive experiences I can remember in quite awhile, as everything was set up for a smooth flight over the North Atlantic. The best part for me was the added legroom granted with the upgrade to Economy Comfort. From there, the food and views also couldn’t be matched. Let me know in the comments if you’ve had similar great experiences with KLM on long-haul flights and stay tuned in a couple weeks for the final installation of this travel itinerary from Chicago to Minneapolis. Until then, thanks for watching and have a great day!
