I Tested Europe's Most Popular Airline 

Which Airlines Should I fly next? I am trying my best to fly on all of the ones you guys suggest! Also if you have fun video ideas let me know!✈

Great video, but something to keep in mind, the KLM was the cityhopper it has no recline, basic seats and less padding. The KLM Cityhooper is used for short flight and it’s a short haul aircraft. On the other hand SAS has the larger plane, used for longer services therefore better seats and padding and other stuff. KLM does offer short haul on larger planes like the 737 which is similar size to the a320 you were on on SAS, the old and the new cabin of KLM in the 737, 700, 800 and the 900 would I say it’s kinda the same as SAS’s seats. The old cabin of KLM 737 is like the SAS cabin on the a320. It would be a little more fair if you did the 737 for KLM, so therefore I would say KLM won. (BTW this is no hate comment I think your great)

When Eric mentioned how European airports are better than American airports, I have to agree. I’ve been to Schiphol and it was a very pleasant experience. Staff were very nice and there are great views too. Caught a glimpse of the Emirates A380 there too.

I flew SAS from Chicago to Copenhagen, Copenhagen to Helsinki, Helsinki to Stockholm and then Stockholm back to Chicago. I took a vacation to the Nordic countries this past fall. I didn’t have a single problem with them. No delays, no cancellations, friendly staff, good hard product. I really liked them. Never flew KLM though. Austrian is good too. I flew with them in late 2021. On a side note: that’s my review at 11:49.

The differences between KLM and SAS is that KLM is a full service airline, while SAS is more of a hybrid between low-cost and full service. It's somewhere in the middle. One plus with SAS is that you can buy youth tickets for a very cheap price, around 50-70 dollars for short haul flights, depending on how long your flight is. My personal favorite is SAS, as it's the airline i've flown my entire life.

I've been flying every 3 months to the USA for work with KLM. At first I went with regular economy class, which was great, good service, good seats, very comfy, skilled pilots, etc. But that was on a bigger airplane than you flew, like the cityhopper. For work I could upgrade to business class, and I can tell you, it's a whole different experience. Great lounch, great facilities and seating, service, etc. on the plane. I can also collect these "Delfts blauwe huisjes" from KLM which you get for flying with business class and after flying for years with KLM, I have an entire collection cabinet full of those pieces.

Good video. although it wasn't entirely fair considering that the E-175 is part of KLM's cityhopper division, Which is more focused on... hopping cities quickly, rather then luxury. the 737s are far more comfortable.

Dear, Eric, my family loves your videos & so do I! I have a recommendation for you, AirFrance. When & if you fly with them whatever airport your in look for the AirFrance KLM lounge. As you said you were greeted by the flight attendant, that’s my cousin Laura. She saw you & she told me because she knows how much I love KLM. She’s currently in France right now. Anyway, amazing video, Eric!

Great review. Never recline a seat on a short haul flight, that's really poor form in Europe. KLM is Europe's best airline by far for short haul travel.

This guy went from finding his old phones to flying regularly. Magnificent!

Cool! At 08:02 I can spot the school where I did my internship. By the way, this is not the regular KLM flight, but from its subdivision KLM Cityhopper. The crew tend to be younger, the planes more suited for short hops and the service is more 'efficient'. Perhaps you've encountered our so-called Dutch directness from the crew ;)

Great job Eric! Again a wonderful video that makes my day 🎉

Fun part, KLM-Air France purchased SAS this year. But there is a small note with KLM. You flew with KLM CityHopper which has different seats on the Embraer aircraft than KLM's Boeing 737 aircraft.

Im from Europe and I love you’re video’s and I flew klm a lot of times and it’s great

Struk nice video I always like your European flight videos

I flew KLM intercontinental SEL AMS HAV in 2017 and the experience was similar. Strong and solid service, but there were DELAYS at AMS due to many passengers connecting into my flight were stuck on a hold pattern due to strong tail winds. We ended up waiting 2 hours for the rest of the passengers and additional 30 minutes taxi. The queue of aircarfts was huge, and I enjoyed seeing many airliners from different companies from my window seat. The crew was amazing, the passengers not so much, but the crew made sure to keep all the disorderly passengers on check. Their friendly approach and multi language skills made up for the delay. The return flight was very bumpy, and again, the crew shone through. Great experience with them back to back.

Thank you for reviewing SAS!

OMG Thanks for flying the airline that I always was thinking about. The airline I was talking about is SAS

15:26 SAS is a half danish half swedish airline, i cant speak for sweden but its danish culture to give free cofee or tea. In denmark we say “kan jeg byde dig på en kop te/kaffe” even if someone just came by to say hello 🇩🇰👌

13:27 thats a amazing transition! Good job

Amazing video! I recommend you to try finnair sometime, they are mostly flying Helsinki to the other parts of europe, and Asia. But also to the US and other counties outside of Europe.

Well done, Eric! 👍

As a dutch person, i think they are not mad cuz every dutch person sound mad bud are friendly.

I was dreaming about you making this video when i saw you were in europe. Love SAS

I always find these so entertaining, keep up the amazing effort

Thank you for flying SAS ❤❤

Always a W! The airline doesn’t matter because Eric is the best! Love your content!

KLM is amazing, I flight in 2017 to South America, and this year to the USA. Service was so amazing. SAS only from Zurich to Stockholm. Nice crew and very good service.

13:10 this was me last week after flying into my first ever European airport. Everything is so impressive, even the electronic passport check too 🔥

Thank you Eric for flying my home airlines SAS!

Dude Eric you’re the man. Everything you do is so entertaining. Next time maybe fly out of SFO by rating United and American? Thanks for entertaining us!!!

I'm flying with KLM long haul & short haul in a couple of months (KUL-AMS & AMS- LHR) so thanks for the review!

You set new standards. Great video and editing.

You should definitely try jet2 vs tui Great video btw

Eric i appreciate you soo muchh like i was afraid of flying and because of you now i love travelling. Now i look at planes differently thank you🤗🤗

4:06 split boarding works on Ryanair for rows 1-17 on the front and rows 18-35 on the rear

10:30 i love where the Jet was just chilling on the roof😂

Keep it up Erik I love your vids please do LOT vs Ryanair

I think you shouldve gone on the klm 737 instead of the embraer because it wouldve been a better comparison

I am part Dutch and I personally love KLM, and I’ve flown with them at least twice. They are really good and always land pretty smoothly, but I have never flown SAS, so my opinion might be a little strange.

NICE VID,I ALWAYS LOVE UR VIDS

I am a Dutch man myself, and i can also say that Schiphol is a very good airport.

I share the frustration about trying to find anything at Frankfurth Airport. I recently walked over 5km on one recent day there.

Yoooo tysm for doing KLM!!

As a swede im very proud of SAS Edit: I just realised that I am 7 mins early

KLM's deadly incident is Flight 4805, who is crashed at Pan Am 747.

I Love Flying KLM Long Haul And The Great Cabin Crew.Great Report

You HAVE to try qantas vs air new zealand, love your vids and cant stop whatching them❤😊 also you should try fly from adelaide austrailia to wellington new zealand cause its an amazing experiance for me but im not an expert so i wanna see if i missed anything

It would have been good if you flew the KLM 737 instead as it's much more comparable to the A320 as it has a more comfortable seat with recline etc

Please fly etihad 😢

I have already flown with klm from Amsterdam to Dubai ,it was a good experience

The KLM lounge in Amsterdam is absolutely superb

Try Singapore Airlines First Class On their A380's

Just give this man a round of applause cause he’s always doing this stuff just for entertaining us

Thank you for doing KLM

I amazingly love erics RU-vid channel (I would recommend doing a new airline like global airlines

Did he really say German ?? That’s Dutch

Airlines are scared getting reviewed by this guy😂

I have always enjoyed flying KLM and when I fly from Budapest to the US, I prefer to connect at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam which is very convenient.

I love the content!😊 keep going❤😊

Could you please do TUI vs Jet2 , TUI is belgiums best airline and Jet2 is supposed to be the UK's best airline, in my opinion its TUI , i've flown TUI with my family for like 6-7 years and i'm also belgian so it would mean alot if you would do this ❤

To show support for Israel, fly with El El, the safest and most secure airline in the world (and regardless, it's a great airline). 🇮🇱❤

Also, you're content is amazing!😃

16:22 That is the bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark.

Welcome to Denmark. Im Excited for you're first visit to europe is in my country and with my lovely SAS carrier 🙂 Have a great journey in Denmark and europa.

Snacks, water and soft drinks are also complimentary on the sas medium and long haul flights

Have you ever been to TPA (Tampa International)? I believe it's one of the nicest airports in the U.S. I have been to, I've been in TPA maybe four times, and all four times have been very nice! If you and when you come back to the states, you should definitely take a flight on American or Delta down to TPA from JFK or EWR!

A major plus for KLM is AMS Schiphol Airport: the amount of global connections, with KLM and partners, is amazing! And this is a single terminal airport as you said, really nice place too. By the way, my best KLM experiences where SFA-AMS and Hong Kong to AMS, AMS to Seoul was good too! Test the Seoul Starbucks, if you are lucky, nobody speaks English (besides the names of the beverages) and the receipt is totally incomprehensible - but such a fun keep-sake! Had to transfer to Guam and barely any ticket agency sells Europe to Guam tickets, so I got seperate ones. Also flew through Taipei and stayed in Taiwan for a few days - must do! KLM to Cape Town is awesome as well. AMS is not too huge (doesn't feel that way) but is a global center with amazing connections - many options, high frequency, safe and clean airport and Amsterdam is also a great two-day in between layover location, very close to city center - with amazing rail connections. By the way, Copenhagen is also an excellent airport, just not so well connected as Amsterdam however, with way better Scandinavian connections!

thanks for useing my idea on flying klm

I always have flown with KLM to much further destinations, taking up to 12 to 15 hours of flight. The seat is probably not made that comfy because these types of planes are used for very short distances only. In the Dreamliner the seats are definitely better. What I like the most about KLM is that you can just walk to the kitchen part and if you want to have something to drink you can get it for free, or any other food that is just standing there. The personnel is not complaining if you stand for a while in the aft section because you want to stretch your legs and the amount of food is more than enough.

I really enjoy your videos! Can you ride the Tren Maya? I want to see what it’s like. Thank you.

thanks for reviewing klm ❤❤❤❤❤❤

love the vids 🎉

If you want a great intereuropean flight you should try out LOT polish airlines Embraer. Seat are amazing, in my opinion more comfortable that most seats on intercontinental flight. Service is also great. Even on short, domestic,30 minutes flights they give you a sweet bun with fruits (fruit depends on the season) and water.

I can’t think about KLM without thinking about the Tenerife airport disaster

Nice one! Just curious, which credit card do you use to get lounge access?

I have flown both KLM and SAS, both are decently great like long haul flights are a lot better for a reason

hey love the videos but would you be able to test TUI as an airline it is my personal fav and has long and short haul services i would love to see you fly them thanks for reading this.

Merry Christmas

Hi ericstruk I have 2 brilliant aussie airlines lined up for you, Virgin Australia and Tiger Air, It is basically like you jet star vs Quantas video, but tiger air is the budget airline and virgin air is the better one, also you should do Virgin Australia VS Quantas

Have flown on KLM several times since the mid-2010s, but I'm about to fly SAS for the first time in April of 2024, so we shall see. Shouldn't judge an airline just from one person's experience a 16-minute RU-vid video, but it's a good preview at least. - Red

I have flown before with my parents to Slovakia but that was when i was really young. By the way, can you please do Norwegian Air Sweden in one of your videos?

Amazing vid brother your video and evening teaa is justttttttt❤ Love your content you deserve to 20 million i hope u get it till 2025🎉

Nice video my friend

You should fly to bend Oregon on Alaska airlines E175

Haha oh nice video!! Thanks 🙏

One of the one star ratings due to last minute cancellations is mine. It was my first and hopefully my last KLM experience

nice video Eric can you fly next time with czech airlines and smartwings to see which is better because its too airlines from czech repuplic and im from czech repuplic and i want to know which is better

Did you know there’s an airport with an delta lounge that has an outdoor seating!

Eric can you fly LOT Polish airlines? Love your videos by the way.

Try flying KLM from Amsterdam to Bangkok Thailand pls

You should try out TUI, Air Dolomiti, Vueling, or any other Eroupean airline if your stay in Eroupe

I think you should fly on the Emirates a380 that would be so cool

Great do more klm vid and sas

Amazing vid! I would want you to fly Singapore airlines of Emirates.

PLS DO TUI AIRWAYS VS EASYJET because ive been on tui not easyjet so it will be interesting if easyjet are better

I think its just non Dutch people that arent used to how we act in the Netherlands. we are a friendly bunch, but your right, we can often easily give off a cold vibe despite not meaning to. I think its just how we act in Dutch culture.

Fun fact klm got involve in the deadlist air raft in ident the tenerife airport disaster

Wait till you go to the Dubai business lounge. It’s crazily amazing.

I remember when I lived in Korea, we flew on Korean air and we flew on a 777 and we were on the ground for two hours. I don’t remember much because this was a pretty long time ago.
