In addition, KLM will scale up the number of flights to Teeside, Humberside, Cardiff, Southampton (UK) and Graz (Austria). Finally, Naples (Italy) and Split (Croatia) will both be served daily. This is new in the winter but a continuation of the summer timetable.

KLM's new Premium Comfort class can be booked this winter to various destinations in the US and Canada. In this class, which is somewhere between Economy Class and World Business Class, customers experience a new KLM service concept in a separate cabin with comfortable seats and plenty of legroom.

Caribbean and Suriname
To the Caribbean (especially the Antilles), the number of seats has increased by more than 20% this winter compared to 2019. For example, KLM will offer Curaçao at least ten times a week, with two flights a day during the Christmas period. On the flight to Aruba in combination with Bonaire, KLM will daily use the largest aircraft in its fleet, the Boeing 777-300ER (408 seats).

This is because a large number of Southeast Asian destinations have reopened their doors to foreign visitors. Flights to/from Tokyo Narita will be operating non-stop again this winter. However, KLM will continue to fly via a detour, because Russian airspace is closed.

Flights to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), which continue to Jakarta (Indonesia), will also be direct this winter, rather than via Singapore. Last summer, KLM resumed flights to Bangalore (India). These flights will continue this winter. Flights to China remain limited for the time being.
