KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Pros: Cheap, friendly flight.
Cons: Uncomfortable seats.

Airlines in the UK seem to charge you for convenience; although the regional airports often charge the airlines less for using their facilities, passengers using regional airports often pay more for scheduled flights. I usually find I can save mega ...

Pros: Good delay statistics, no horrible flights, good price, friendly, good entertainment and food.
Cons: Cramped seats.

I recently participated in a family reunion in Northern Sweden. It was only me and my oldest son who went. The reason for this was due to the cost and some timing considerations as well as the fact that our younger kids wanted to visit a beach. ...

Pros: business class, luggage
Cons: return trip, overnight service

We always like going to Cyprus to visit family and friends. On one of our vacations to Cyprus, we decided to try KLM for the first time. We heard some positive words about it, and some weren’t as positive.

Pros: They will feed you.  Lots of South African tank-car wine. 
Cons: Cramped conditions and overworked personnel jettisoned any possible joy. 

We recently flew with KLM returning from Amsterdam to New York.  Our flight over had been with Delta/Northwest (in the midst of a merger, it's hard to tell them apart now).  I had flown KLM years before and my experience ...

Pros: good offers on flights within Europe (sometimes), Heathrow Terminal 4.
Cons: too many to list.

I was going to London in late April and had little choice but to fly KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. I was really looking forward to the flight because a)I was going back to London, b)I've never flown KLM before and I like new experiences. Unfortunately, KLM...

Pros: Friendly, newer aircraft
Cons: Don't eat the burritos!

KLM has become an airline that I have grown to enjoy. It wasn't always that way, considering my first flight from Memphis to Amsterdam on the Royal Dutch Airline, started with them losing my seat assignment. They fixed it just great...a bulkhead seat....

Pros: Pleasant, efficient, on time
Cons: KLM is the "generic" airline

Sitting down on my KLM flight from Nairobi to Amsterdam I had to smile as I watched the kind of generic “screen saver” video that KLM always shows on the overhead monitor while loading the plane. While other airlines might be playing video of ...

Pros: Courteous service. Clean airplane. Liberal on luggage allowance.
Cons: Better meals in the school cafeteria. In flight entertainment system on verge of meltdown.

Two flights are far too little to judge an airline. But since no epinioners have said anything about this carrier for awhile, I thought I would weigh in with a positive, albeit cursory commentary. Using up some free miles on Continental to get to and ...

Pros: Fabulous staff, good food, on-time arrivals and overall good value.
Cons: Northwest handling in Miami, entertainment is slightly outdated.

Introduction I fly with KLM quite frequently (at least twice a year), mainly from Latin America to Europe. In a move to “please” customers the company introduced a new policy under which you can’t carry two bags (each 32 kg.), but ...

Pros: safety, new planes, clean, check in, Amsterdam hub
Cons: food, and flight crew, broken seat

I was so excited that I would be able to visit my native country of Greece over the summer. My aunt who is a travel agant said that she had aquired enough frequent flier miles as a travel agent on Northwest Airlines to get all 12 of us tickets. We were ...

Pros: On time, friendly service, good video system, tasty food.
Cons: Elf seats.

If there is a minimum amount of legroom necessary to qualify a seat as a seat, KLM has found it. I was on a 7-hour flight on a 777 aircraft with an aisle seat in coach class. Every second of the flight was torture. If you are over 6' tall, you will ...

Pros: 747, Amsterdam airport, meals, friendly flight attendants, WorldPerks program
Cons: 767 aircraft are extremely crowded and uncomfortable, lounges could use facelift

I travel often to London and in many cases I will travel Northwest or KLM (despite the connection) because I have upgrade certificates valid for use on both airlines. I am also an elite member in Northwest Airlines WorldPerks program (KLM is a partner) s ...

Pros: Handy from regional airports
Cons: Luggage - what luggage?

Its quite difficult to write a review of KLM as the services and planes differ so much from the flight options they offer - from a regional airport shuttle to Amsterdam, to a couple of hours flight to a city in Europe to a transatlantic crossing all of ...

Pros: Double-deckers, and monitors and herring...Oh My!!!
Cons: None

Fly The Herring Skies…I Mean, Friendly Skies

I have flown KLM two times round-trip, both on journeys to Italy. They have been two of the best flying experiences I have ever had, and here's why:

The Best Parts of...

Pros: Friendly & efficient.
Cons: No room left in the overhead baggage area.

KLM is certainly one of the world's finest airlines, especially if flying from the eastern USA to Schipol Airport in Amsterdam, as I did recently.

I picked up a round trip ticket for $360.00 in US funds (which included tax) and...
