KLM

Also known as Royal Dutch Airlines, this is the national airline for the Netherlands. Based out of Schipol air port near Amsterdam, this is a very efficient airline. Positives: Very professional appearance and ticketing procedures, their planes are fairly well equipped, and are always clean and tidy. The staff are generally friendly, and are very efficient and competent at their jobs. KLM offers a huge variety of regular routes, ranging from long haul, to business driven short city hops. On the downside, they are more expensive than budget carriers such as Ryanair, or Easyjet, whislt not offering particularly much more in the way of service. Overall this ...  Read the complete review

KLM is the dutch airline who have Amsterdam as their major hub for all their operations. The airline is part of the Skyteam group of airlines also including such airlines as Airfrance, Aeroflot, AeroMexico, Alitalia, Delta, Continental Airlines and more. KLM is an airline I have used for one main trip with that being my trip over to America a few years ago and I was very impressed with the service I received. I set off from Glasgow and had to fly to Amsterdam from there and was first met with a problem of a long delay due to the plane meant to be taking me on from Amsterdam to the USA being in for work and no replacement available. The airline simply offered ...  Read the complete review

Just last week i flew with Monarch, then on returning i have to get on a connecting flight with the Dutch airline KLM, which i havent really heard of before. I was really presently suprised! Monarch are a more well known airline and the journey was ok, you didnt get any complimentary sandwitches, which being English kind of disappointed me.

The staff were helpful and they all spoke very good english, the seats were comfortable - as aeroplane seats go - and to my amazement after about 15 minutes from take off the staff come around with packs of ...  Read the complete review

KLM, once the pride of the Netherland is now more and more an overprices easyjet. We had a flight to Bankok with a Boeing 74E and thats a plane belonging in a museum. Very narrow seats and some central screens for entertainment. So 1970's! on that screen they showed a program how to use the entertainmentprogram and this was excualy about a modern entertainmentprogrem that you will get on new planes. How sarcastic! I'm a frequent flyer elite member and that gives you the prevelige to select a seat 30 days in advange. Because we are traveling with a baby we found that very nessecary. So we did. But when we arrived the seats were no longer ours. First they tried to say that ...  Read the complete review

Flew Heathrow/Amsterdam/Cape Town for our honeymoon last year - to be fair it saved us £300 each on airfares but wouldn't do it again out of choice! The hop across to Amsterdam was quick, efficient, comfortable and were accompanied by a happy cabin crew - they even supplied free drinks and nibbles which was impressive based on the short flight time. Had to traverse the Schipol terminal in reasonably quick time but it wasn't an issue. The following 10.5hour flight to South Africa was close to pergatory - the seats were uncomfortable, the leg room was appalling for a long haul trip, the food was less than distinctly average. As for the cabin crew, perhaps they all need to ...  Read the complete review
