This summer, I headed to Europe on our annual Eurotrip to visit my in-laws, catch up with friends in Brussels, and explore a new European destination. \u00a0This trip was also special because I was invited by Visit Holland to explore The Netherlands beyond Amsterdam (more about those adventures coming soon). \u00a0Ask\u00a0any random Dutch person 10 Dutch things they are proud of, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will more than likely be on the list (at least in my random survey of my Dutch family and friends). \u00a0This trip I had the experience of flying KLM at all levels: International Business Class, Economy, and intercontinental. \u00a0Here’s my review:<\/p>\n

\"Flying<\/a>
The amenities (plus gift for baby Dining Traveler) on KLM Business Class<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flying KLM Business Class:<\/em> <\/strong>\u00a0I was fortunate enough to fly KLM business class from Washington-Dulles to Amsterdam Schiphol. \u00a0It all starts with the lounge before departure: \u00a0KLM and Air France share a lounge at Dulles. \u00a0I am used to the cramped space at the United Lounge at the same airport and must say this lounge was a breath of fresh air… literally. \u00a0The space was bright and neat with a wide selection of warm and cold snacks, a full premium bar (that at 6 1\/2 months pregnant I couldn’t enjoy… boo), and most importantly it was not as crowded as the other domestic airline lounges at Dulles.<\/p>\n

On board: The seating area is comfortable and the staff pays individual attention to each passenger in the business class cabin. \u00a0The food selection has its ups and downs: \u00a0the starter of the pumpkin soup and cheese for dessert were delicious but I wasn’t a big fan of the salmon main course. I enjoyed a nice breakfast service of quiche, fresh fruit, and pastries\u00a0right before we landed, which was perfect.\u00a0During this flight I did not have any alcoholic beverages but noticed that it was abundantly offered. \u00a0One of the bonuses of flying KLM business class are the unique amenities: a beautiful clutch by Dutch designer Jan Taminiau and their iconic Delft blue ceramic traditional houses filled with Dutch jenever. \u00a0The best detail came at the end of the trip when the staff noticed I was pregnant and gifted me a cute KLM bib wishing me the best for my pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Flying KLM Economy:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0So we’re not always lucky to get upgrades… on my way back home from Europe I flew KLM Economy from Amsterdam Schiphol to \u00a0Washington-Dulles. \u00a0Given that at that point I was over 7 months pregnant, I decided to purchase an upgrade to their “economy comfort”. \u00a0I am grateful I upgraded the night before for $67 as they were offering it in-flight for 110 Euros (around $123). \u00a0The service again was great, the food was good for economy, and the economy comfort was as comfortable as any other airline premium economy section. \u00a0The one thing I wish both transcontinental flights offered was Wi-Fi. \u00a0I get a lot of work done when I am up in the air. \u00a0I inquired about Wi-Fi in future KLM flights and was told that is a feature they are looking to include possibly next year. \u00a0Again, what makes flying KLM special is the service. \u00a0The crew on both these flights was friendly, kind, and patient.<\/p>\n

Flying KLM Intra European: \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>During our European sejour, we flew KLM from Amsterdam to Palermo, Sicily. \u00a0This flight was a two segment flight: \u00a0Amsterdam -Rome via KLM and Rome – Palermo, operated by Alitalia but part of the overall KLM ticket. I also purchased an economy comfort seat on the Amsterdam – Rome flight for $14 which was great as the flight was full, unfortunately, I didn’t have the option to do the same on Alitalia on the KLM website. \u00a0The check-in process could have been more streamlined: \u00a0I had to check in luggage, so the flight agents at Amsterdam made me go to a different counter to pay for my luggage (15 EUR) and then return to another counter to drop off my bag. \u00a0However, I learned that purchasing your ticket via the KLM website gives you a discount when checking in a bag.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, check-in was the only snafu. \u00a0I think flying KLM and Alitalia back to back really enhances why KLM is so much better: \u00a0the aircraft\u00a0are aesthetically better taken care of, \u00a0KLM offers a complimentary sandwich and drinks to all of its passengers on short haul flights, a treat in regular fare airlines these days, and the overall service is much better. A two leg trip\u00a0with two completely different airlines makes a point of comparison quite easy!<\/p>\n

What Makes Flying KLM Special:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0One of the things that makes flying KLM so unique is how well the brand etches Dutch culture into\u00a0every part of the flight experience. \u00a0From the Delft blue miniature ceramic houses\u00a0given to\u00a0Business Class passengers, to the story behind the locally sourced Dutch cheese written on the sandwich wrapper in Economy, there’s a touch of Dutch pride everywhere you turn. \u00a0You don’t see that much these days when it comes to airlines. No wonder KLM is the oldest airline still in operation…<\/p>\n

The Verdict: \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>I had a great flight experience in all of their service levels during my multiple trips.\u00a0I am hoping that my next transcontinental flight will offer Wi-Fi and the connectivity with KLM\u00a0partners on their website runs a bit more smoothly for future travels. \u00a0My biggest takeaway from these flight experiences was the great service I received at all levels of the trip: check-in, lounge, and on board. \u00a0Definitely Dutch hospitality at its best!<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: \u00a0My Flying KLM experience from IAD-AMS round trip was sponsored by Visit Holland. My Palermo trip and economy comfort upgrade from AMS-IAD was at my own expense. \u00a0As always, opinions are my own…\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
