KLM Royal Dutch Airlines представляет новый уровень комфорта в бизнес-классе World Class

For the seasoned traveler, getting there is about more than going from point A to B. The most luxurious journeys begin well before arrival with a seamless airport experience, a seat designed with comfort in mind, and well-curated details that ease and delight throughout the flight. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines caters to the stylish, seasoned traveler — those who see flying not simply as a means of getting there, but as an opportunity to settle in with a memorable meal, catch up on rest, find inspiration in an award-winning film, or indulge in an expertly curated skincare routine. The W reader knows that a trip tailored to their wants and needs makes all the difference, and KLM knows it, too. From the Crown Lounge at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to the elegance of its World Business Class cabin, the airline brings a distinctly Dutch sensibility to every part of the trip. Here’s what to expect when flying KLM’s World Business Class. Where the Journey Begins At Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, KLM's two Crown Lounges set the tone before you've even left the ground — they’re the kind of spaces that make arriving early feel less like a chore and more like the point. Designed as effortless, well-appointed spaces meant for settling in rather than simply passing time before a flight, the lounges offer dedicated workspaces with high-speed Wi-Fi, trained baristas ready to craft hot or cold drinks to order, showers, quiet areas, and sleep cabins. Dutch-inspired details abound, including a Heineken bar and an outdoor terrace overlooking the airfield — an especially appealing place to unwind before boarding. Settle Into Your Own Space KLM introduced World Business Class in 1994, and has continued to evolve the experience in the decades since. Today, the airline’s World Business Class seats transform into fully flat beds and offer direct aisle access, allowing passengers to spread out without having to navigate around neighbors. On new aircrafts, sliding doors add even more privacy. The setup is well-suited for catching up on work, enjoying a standout meal, or getting a full night’s sleep before landing. Wireless charging and other contemporary conveniences are, of course, included as well. Culture and Comfort Combined For those who prefer to spend time in the air making progress on their watch list, KLM offers in-flight entertainment sure to please any film buff. Large, high-definition screens make it easy to pass the hours with a movie or show, while an expanded selection of entertainment gives passengers plenty to choose from. KLM’s amenity kits are designed with ease and sustainability in mind, stocked with skincare from Dutch lifestyle brand Marie-Stella-Maris, known for its natural ingredients and social impact initiatives. Expect hydrating essentials like face mist and moisturizer, plus a lip balm that will actually survive cabin pressure. Dine With a Dutch Point of View When it comes to KLM’s food and beverage program, the airline brings its design heritage to the table, literally. World Business Class meals are served on bespoke tableware created by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, whose collection pairs well with refined glassware and cutlery. Constantly evolving menus emphasize fresh, seasonal ingredients and are developed in collaboration with leading chefs, incorporating both Dutch and international flavors. A carefully selected wine list and premium beverages round out the gastronomic experience. For something unexpected, try KLM’s signature blue mocktail, made with lemon, ginger, and spirulina. The final, and perhaps most unforgettable, treat comes after the meal. On long-haul World Business Class flights, passengers receive one of KLM’s Delft Blue miniature houses, modeled after a real Dutch building. These collectible souvenirs have become a hot-ticket item for travelers in the know. A Trip Worth Taking Each element of the KLM experience — from the curated tableware and Delft Blue houses, to the transformative power of a comfortable bed in the sky — makes a long-haul flight feel considered and even, dare we say, fun. Don’t be surprised if you enjoy the journey just as much as the destination.
