As a klm crew member for over 26 years and still enjoying every minute of it, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video! Happy you enjoyed flying with the/ my 😊royal Dutch family!
Hi Bren, just booked a sky priority flight to Zanzibar via Amsterdam and I'm wondering how the seat recline works. Are people being a reclined seat affected or is there a hard barrier limiting recline from disturbing passengers behind. Does this make sense?
@@nitarrh , you are allowed to recline your seat, just when the one behind you is eating we ask you to put your seat upright.😊 enjoy your flight with us 🙏🏽
Consistently relaxing and enjoyable trip reports !! I still have my Dutch House from a KLM flight years ago but it wasn't filled with any spirits back then. I guess now KLM wants their Business fliers to not only have a keepsake of their flight but to be 'Happy'. 😁 Cheers 🥂
I don’t know which country you were flying to, but some destinations don’t allow KLM to offer their passengers alcoholic beverages to take off the plane! I know that flying to some destinations in the middle-east only give you the houses but without the beverage
@@Jumski13 Thanks for the information. This was a business trip many, many years ago but I think I was flying from the U.S. to Amsterdam and taking a connecting flight from there to my final destination. I really liked that KLM provided this unexpected momento. It sits on my fireplace mantel to this day.
Great video. I think the B787 really suits the livery of KLM. It's a wet day for flying, and I enjoy flying on such days although the flight could be bumpy.
This was one of most enjoyable and well put together business reviews I,ve watched. Flying this route tomorrow in the same numbered seat on KLM. Thank you I,ll be sure to look out for future content.
Hi from your fellow German aviation youtuber! Really enjoyed watching this report, high-quality and high-content as always! - But wow, what beautiful silverware they have! And what a step up from their old business class cabin! Also loved the design of the amenities in the bathroom. Congrats on the reports and cheers from Germany! 🙂 Chris
The amenity kit is designed by Jan Taminiau (pronounce as Jahn Tah-mee-nee-ow) He is a famous Dutch designer of clothing, designed some dresses of our Queen Maxima.
Great review of KLM! I appreciate you starting your experience. The lounge looks wonderful. I was surprised that the chicken dish was a stew based on the description in the menu. I agree that the Dutch Houses are a great travel souvenir. Safe travels!
You really do put together reviews which are of an exceptional quality Alvin. I think KLM are a very reliable and solid airline to fly with, despite their catering perhaps not being among the best. Thanks as always for posting.
The quality of your content is exceptional and I love your narration. It’s a real joy to watch your trip reports. We appreciate them. Thanks very much again.
Greatly enjoyed the video especially of the clouds and slow mo footage nearing the end. Glad I discovered your reports. Well done. Another happy subscriber.
I really enjoyed your video. I am a Sky miles member and have flown every airline associated with them except for KLM. I will definitely give them a try!!
Hey Alvin, thank you so much for this amazing video. I really love your captures. Very fresh and crisp feeling. I subscribed, looking forward to new vids!
I Really enjoyed your video! It was like a breath of fresh air! And the quality of the filming is top knot! Can I ask what type of equipment do you use to shoot those gorgeous shots? I am planning to take a trip over 11H and I reviewed all the companies that are flying there and I think I’ve settled to klm! And let me tell you that I watched over 10 videos about klm and by far your’s was the most enjoyable! What is the next destination for you?
Flying with KLM from England to Utah in September and actually change in Amsterdam. Hoping they'll take pity on me travelling alone and upgrade me, but that's just a pipedream. 🤣
Nice video, but if you tell the registration of KLM plane, please tell name that belongs to the plane. It's part of their identity. In this case the name of the plane is 'morgenster' (morning star). But next time, please do it.
great video: nice dutch design BC cabin with KLM and food & drinks seems OK, Pity there is not enough fish; they should it organize different (pre-book e.g.) when you travel premium class...
great video bud. just a quick note, please try to move the camera around slower, it would be easier to see the environment and the picture quality would also increase (for example 2:52). tnx
Another great trip report from you! I enjoyed again your great cam work, the systematic strory and the excellent narrative, well done!! I personally have a love-hate relationship with KLM: wonderful crews but awful F&B. The lounge looked way better than i experienced it 2 yeaars ago in the morning. At that time, it simply was a zoo and food offerings were extremely poor and cheap. This time, it looked much better and i thought: can i finally love - love KLM? I hoped so..until i read again the infamous chicken thigh..and it just looked like infamous chicken thigh. My experience was that also other dished are presented in this horrible way and are drowned in sauce. And the wine list confirmed yet another time that KLM is still saving on expenditures to entertain pax..if it were not for the wonderful crews...but just compare the food and the way it is presented and the table is set on QR flights..worlds of difference. Wished that their F&B came just a bit close to the quality of your trip reporting:))
Thank you again for your support on these videos :) Really means a lot! Totally agree about the F&B - I only have a small experience with them but I think there's a big room for improvement. Maybe I was just really hungry on the flight, haha. Haven't tried QR yet, but I can definitely see a big difference between this and other Asian carriers I've flown. Appreciate the thoughtful response!!
@homer3152 Your assessment is so spot on. Lots to love about KLM and lots they can really improve on, especially F&B. …..And that chicken thigh LOL! @Onemoreweektogo, the quality of your content is exceptional and I love your narration. It’s a real joy to watch your trip reports. We appreciate them. Thanks very much again.
hi Alvin, now this Business Class is just what id like to try. your food looked delish, and you had plenty of room to lie down if you wished to have a nap. how much was the Dutch House filled with Gin? and did you buy one. their cute - thank you for a great video on KLM business class
I've overwhelmingly had negative experiences with KLM. From flight attendants who told me that it's normal that water drips on me for more than an hour, to lies about departure times, cancelled flights without prior notification, called bookings after my booking has confirmed, damaged baggage, lousy customer service, broken seats/windows/screens, to having to wait on the phone for hours. Not to mention the cancellation of 13,000 miles (a free European flight) without any notification, refusal to cancel my fylingBlue membership (personal data EU laws...), a credit card that denies coverage for flight cancellations and so many more KLM failures. After some 600,000 miles on hundreds of airplanes, KLM has on average been worse than Easyjet and just slightly better than Ryanair. Because of Air France/KLM, I am no longer a Delta Diamond member and my last trans-atlantic business class trips were not with KLM or with SkyTeam.
KLM is a great airline as far as safety is concerned but their in-flight service not so much. It's not lack of training but rather a matter of attitude. The service-oriented attitude is just not in the average Dutch person. Meals are ok but nothing special. Overall KLM is a good and reliable airline.
Hope KLM will fly this bird to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Nice vid review. Love KLM. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙. Btw may I know what is your Height? Is the seat comfortable for sleeping? Tq.. 💙
Great review. I haven't flown KLM before, but very tempted to as we can now earn Virgin Flying Club miles and status. Seems like a good business class product and a pleasant alternative to BA Club World (via LHR).
Thai's not a window seat. It's an aisle seat that from which you can see a window. A window seat is next to a window. You should have demanded a refund for the broken wi-fi. After horrendous experiences with KLM (including being abandoned in Asia) and their crews we'll never fly them again.
