KLM Launches A New Premium Economy Cabin

荷航推出全新高级经济舱

KLM has officially unveiled the 'Premium Comfort Class,' its new premium economy cabin. Premium Comfort will launch in July 2022 on selected routes to North America, before being rolled out across the airline's entire fleet of Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 aircraft.

荷航正式推出了“高级舒适舱”，这是其新的高级经济舱。高级舒适将于2022年7月在北美的特定航线上推出，然后在航空公司的整个波音787和波音777飞机机队推出。

Offering passengers more space, comfort, and privacy, as well as enhanced service and catering options, Premium Comfort Class will bridge the gap between KLM’s economy and World Business class. The move will also bring KLM in line with its partners Air France, Delta Air Lines, and Virgin Atlantic, all of whom already boast a premium economy cabin.

高级舒适舱能为乘客提供更多的空间、更高的舒适度和更完善的隐私保护，以及更完备的服务和更多样的餐饮选择，将弥合荷航经济舱和世界商务舱之间的差距。此举还将使荷航与其合作伙伴法航、达美航空和维珍大西洋航空保持一致，这些公司都已经拥有一个高级经济舱。

A closer look at KLM’s new Premium Comfort Class

走近荷航新推出的高级舒适舱

KLM's Premium Comfort Class seats have been designed in partnership with Collins Aerospace and will have a seat pitch of 38 inches and boast 8 inches of recline. Depending on the aircraft type, there will be between 21 and 28 seats in each Premium Comfort Class cabin. On the Boeing 787s, the cabin will feature a 2-3-2 configuration, while on the Boeing 777s, it will be 2-4-2.

荷兰皇家航空公司的高级舒适舱座椅是与柯林斯航空航天公司合作设计的，座椅间距为38英寸，靠背部分为8英寸。根据飞机类型，每个高级舒适舱将有21至28个座位。在波音787上，机舱将采用2-3-2构型，而在波音777上，机舱将采用2-4-2构型。

In addition to more space, Premium Comfort Class passengers will benefit from enhanced entertainment with a 13.3-inch personal screen and noise-canceling headphones, priority check-in and boarding, extra luggage allowance, an amenity kit, and upgraded food and drink options.

除了更大的空间，高级舒适舱乘客还将享受13.3英寸个人屏幕和降噪耳机、优先办理登机手续和登机、额外行李限额、舒适套件和升级的食物和饮料选择等加强版娱乐功能。

On intercontinental services, passengers will be offered one or two hot meals, followed by coffee, tea, liqueur, and ice cream. A variety of snacks and cocktails will also be served in between meals.

在洲际航班上，会向乘客提供一两顿热饭，然后是咖啡、茶、利口酒和冰淇淋。在两餐之间还会提供各种小吃和鸡尾酒。

In line with KLM’s sustainability goals, the catering materials used in Premium Comfort Class have been specially selected. The reusable cutlery, bowls, and plates are made of lightweight polypropylene. The seating itself is also lighter in weight, meaning less fuel burn.

为了符合荷航的可持续发展目标，高级舒适舱所使用的餐饮材料经过了特别选择。可重复使用的餐具、碗和盘子是由轻质聚丙烯制成的，座椅本身重量也更轻，这意味着燃料的消耗更少。

Aircraft reconfiguration

飞机重新构型

The reconfiguration of the airline's Boeing 787 and Boeing 777 aircraft will be carried out in-house by specialist teams at KLM Engineering and Maintenance at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

荷航的波音787和波音777飞机的重新配置将由位于阿姆斯特丹史基浦机场的荷兰皇家航空工程与维修部的专家团队在内部进行。

KLM currently has 15 Boeing 777-200s, 16 Boeing 777-300s, 13 Boeing 787-9s, and 5 Boeing 787-10s in its fleet. It also has 10 further Boeing 787-10s on order. Once complete, the seating configuration for each aircraft featuring the Premium Comfort Class cabin will be as follows:

荷航目前拥有15架波音777-200，16架波音777-300，13架波音787-9，5架波音787-10。另订购了10架波音787-10。一旦完成，每架具有高级舒适舱的飞机的座位配置如下：

Premium economy cabins have become increasingly popular with airlines. Last year, Emirates unveiled its first-ever premium economy cabin, and KLM’s partner, Air France, has offered a premium economy cabin for a number of years.

高级经济舱越来越受航空公司的欢迎。去年，阿联酋航空推出了有史以来第一个高级经济舱，荷兰皇家航空的合作伙伴法国航空公司多年来一直提供高级经济舱。

So it comes as no surprise that KLM is introducing a similar offering. Premium Comfort Class is bound to prove popular with travelers looking for extra comfort, without wanting to splash out on business class

因此，荷航推出类似的产品也就不足为奇了。高级舒适舱肯定会受到追求额外舒适的旅客的欢迎，他们不想在商务舱上挥霍
