KLM Expands World Business Class Pre-order Meal Service

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has announced that passengers traveling in its World Business Class can now order their main course up to 45 days before departure through a new service.

The meal choice can be made during the booking process on the airline’s website, in the KLM app, or after booking via MyTrip.

The new service is currently available on 80 percent of KLM’s intercontinental destinations departing from Amsterdam, including flights to various destinations in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and the Caribbean.

According to an announcement by KLM, since the testing phase last summer, over 10,000 business class passengers have already ordered their meals in advance of their flight.

“Due to its success, the service is being expanded further,” the airline said.

Earlier this year, the Dutch carrier announced that in an effort to reduce food waste, it would use artificial intelligence (AI) to determine the amount of meals on board.
