The onboard service is the same as the regular Economy Class.

All passengers can book a seat in the Economy Comfort zone, regardless of their booking class. This is free for passengers with booking classes B/S/X and Flying Blue Platinum members, provided there are sufficient seats available (a seat in the Economy Comfort zone is not guaranteed). All other passengers pay a surcharge. The surcharge varies from 80 to 150 euros each way, depending on the length of the flight. Flying Blue Gold members receive a 50 percent discount and Flying Blue Silver members receive a 25 percent discount on the surcharge. This discount does not apply to accompanying passengers.
