Welcome to the NL Avation RU-vid channel, aviation has been my interest from a young age and I enjoy sharing my travels with you. On my RU-vid channel you will find everything related to aviation.
Tips and suggestions are of course always welcome!
poor catering as usual in KLM BC! And the A330 configuration is very retro and lacks privacy. Always that horrible A330 plane towards the Caribbean alas!
I had three excellent flights and vacations back in 1981/2/3 flying on the DC-10-30 via LIS/CCS. Excellent flights, superb in-flight meals and service! 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴
Thank you for sharing the menu. I fully agree it is a pity the hamburger (in "newspaper") is gone. Loved it! I do understand your thoughts about the high price for WBC on the A330's compared to the (brand) new 1-2-1 configuration in the B777 and B787.
Looks like a standard and reliable KLM-flight, nothing surprising but consistent friendly service and quality. Would choose this anytime over a subsidized Gulf carrier airline with gold plated utensils.
There is no good alternative yet, yes there is a train but it is expensive and often does not connect with other flights. In addition, there are many other countries that also operate many domestic flights of less than 100 miles. In addition, I have a next flight from Schiphol, my flight is BRU - AMS - AUA
@@NLAviation Wrong. The train trip is inexpensive if you take the IC Benelux service rather than the Eurostar. The IC Benelux is based on a flat rate (unlike the Eurostar, based on a yield management fare system), you can jump on any departing train without a need for a seat reservation, it’s 100% flexible - and for just a fraction of the price of the Eurostar. Moreover, the IC Benelux connects perfectly with the flights, as it runs every hour. In short, there is no excuse to keep this irresponsible flight.
@@yagi3925 That only works if I had booked a separate ticket. However, my flight includes a stopover in Amsterdam. My flight is BRU - AMS - AUA in one ticket. So a flight from Brussels to Amsterdam is also included. You can also book (partial) train trips via KLM, but in this case that was not a cheaper option. In addition, respect how everyone wants to travel.
Of course you may disagree about this route, but unfortunately there is no good alternative available yet. The train is often expensive and does not connect with other flights. Aviation is also busy becoming more sustainable. You are free to make your own choice as to which means of transport you choose, and respect others in their choice.
@@NLAviation No, this air route is totally irresponsible and the Benelux parliament has requested its permanent removal. On top of the Eurostar, there is an IC service every hour between the two capitals, with stops at their respective airports, and the ticket prices on those IC trains is a flat rate, so by no way expensive.
@@hbieshe Well said. Actually, there have been growing calls for several years, including from several Benelux authorities, for this route to be permanently stopped, but KLM is still resisting: www.tijd.be/dossier/europareeks/nederlands-parlement-wil-einde-aan-vluchten-amsterdam-brussel/10104430.html
Eurostar is not always faster, is often much more expensive and often does not connect well with subsequent flights. That is why this flight is still very popular and often fully booked.

@@NLAviation Ik snap zeker wat je zegt hoor. Zelf afgelopen week met de Eurostar naar Parijs geweest vanaf Rotterdam. 3u deur tot deur. Ookal ik van vliegen houd zie ik tussen Rotterdam/Amsterdam naar Brussel en Parijs echt geen nut om te vliegen.
It shouldn’t exist but the reason it does is pricing. The ticket is cheaper when connecting through Amsterdam because it’s a less desirable connecting flight and competing with the Zaventem prices (a 1 stop flight through Amsterdam needs to be cheaper than a direct flight). When you transfer in Amsterdam the travel/securtity/check-in time etc is less relevant since you would need to go through it anyway in Schiphol.
@random8539 if the same route exists at all from Brussels. Schiphol offers many more destinations. Chances are that if you need to travel from Brussels to Cape Town, South Africa, Stavanger, Norway or Cartagena, Colombia for example, KLM connecting in Schiphol is the best option for you. I bet the Cityhopper is full of people with connecting flights, either because it is cheap or because it is the only feasible option. Traveling from Brussels to Amsterdam is only faster or cheaper at those specific flight times, and if your origin and destination are close to Zaventem and Schiphol. If you need to go from city centre to city centre, this flight doesn't make much sense.
Yes indeed. I also found the aircraft hangers very close to the runway. Which can't be Runway 18C as you'll find either the motorway next to you, or Terminal 3 with the gates for long haul flights.
€ 3000 for a single flight EHAM-CUR is very expensive for the extra's you get on this 10 hr flight. Unless someone else is paying for your ticket. But you also could be upgraded from Economy to Business for free... I was that lucky on a few occasions. There are some tricks to have a bigger chance on getting a upgrade.
Deze video is al een aantal jaren oud, dit was in een periode dat Wifi nog niet echt mogelijk was aan boord. Je zou dit het beste kunnen navragen bij TUI. KLM heeft wel Wifi aan boord.
