We are flying the 777 AMS to Curacao in February so this was an excellently timed review. Already knew that the forward cabin, whilst bigger is actually quieter because of the galley position and Premium Economy. Also know that KLM like BA does not provide sleep suits in Business on any flight so taking our own!! Bed looks great!!! To celebrate their birthday KLM release a new delft gin house on 7 October each year. In 2023 they created a miniature Valkenburg aan de Geul train station for their 104th birthday. So there are 104 to collect - theres a huge display at the KLM lounge in Amsterdam

Totally agree with all your summing up comments, particularly when it comes to the cabin layout and the food service, considering the ticket price business class passengers expect a calmer environment and this definitely wasn't the case on this flight, breakfast looked good but the main meal looked pretty average.

Didn’t do either sadly on this flight as I was sat well behind but typically, in these types of cabins the first seat does have more room when converted into a bed with thanks to no seat in front. The noise from the galley can be an issue though free dependant and also traffic heading to the loos. If it was me though and it was available, I think I’d go for it 😊

Great video as always. I watch a lot of your BA vlogs and I wonder how you would rate the two against each other. They both seem very "middle of the road". Do you think a BA/KLM alliance would have been a strong competitor to the Lufthansa group ?

Thank you! I’m tempted to do a VS video as both of them have recently refreshed their business class offerings. BA do have the One World Alliancd and KLM are very much in with Air France so both stand fairly well independently. I think the Lufthansa group could be a force to be reckoned with after their big cabin overhauls next year though! I’ll be featuring them a bit on the channel soon ✈️

Hi, another very enjoyable video. Very poor service running out of food, when in business class everything should be catered for in terms of passenger comfort and needs. In a very competitive market things like this can have a huge impact when it comes to choosing who to fly with.
@Travelsbydreamer
2 ай бұрын
Thanks so much! Yeah, having watched another review, it does seem the sub optimal catering is a bit of a trend with them, shame really as everything else was pretty good on the whole. Thankfully for them, it’s much easier to change the soft product than the hard product so perhaps something they’ll have a look at…

I agree it can dampen the experience, but that's why you should always select a seat in the main business class cabin and a lot closer to the front to guarantee your meal choice. KLM also let you pre-select your main meal on their app, but pre-selection is only available when flying out of Amsterdam. I always choose either 2A / 2K or 3A / 3K when booking my flights to avoid this.

@@jankamps9511 wat jammer! ik heb door vele verhuizingen ook veel 'verloren' of weggegooid. In de vroege 70er jaren kLM Royal Class, o.a. naar het Midden Oosten en Latijns Amerika. (meestal verlengde) DC8 van KLM. Kleine cabine met een soort poef voor de benen. Eten was een beetje raar: mooie witte menukaarten met preegdruk. Eerst 'ce qui amuse la bouche choid et froid' en daarna hoofdgerecht en toetje. Vond de borden toen al wat sleets, met zo'n tulpenrandje. Wel caviaar maar dan groentensoep en een hollandse maaltijd zal ik maar zeggen met een biefstukje. Goede wijnen en dranken, dat wel. Als je van Bagdad via Istanbul naar Amsterdam vloog, kreeg je de voorgerechten voor Istanbul en de rest na de doorstart. En voor latijns Amerika het voorgerecht na een tussenstop in Frankfurt of Zurich tussen Lissabon en daarna op het transatlantische traject het hoofdgerecht en zo...de range van vliegtuigen was toen veel beperkter dan nu. Vanaf Istanbul heb ik ook meermalen een tussenlanding in Wenen meegemaakt; 't duurde allemaal wat langer.

I am not a fan of KLM anymore! Have a look to that terrible food. I am still Flying Blue Gold member, but I think about to quit my membership. Doesn't like KLM an more. I really have a problem with the attitude of the flight attendants. On other airlines like Air France and LH they are so nice, but KLM flight attendants were so arrogant, rude and lazy on my last flights. I never felt welcome on board. They also lost luggage on several flights. Well, if you like to fly save from A to B it might be OK, but I don't have any luxury feeling on bord of KLM in Business Class.
