Executive Travel : Business Travel Note

Northwest Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will launch a new business class on their international flights beginning in April as part of the carriers’ growing global partnership. Passengers flying World Business Class on either airline can expect larger seats and more legroom than in existing business class, as well as improved meals and in-flight amenities, say airline officials. The enlargement and improvement of business class cabins will come at the expense of first class, which KLM has eliminated and Northwest is reducing.
