    When I was about 10 years old, I told my dad “I want to be a pilot when I grow up!”
    Well. now I’m 66 and guess what? I’ve never piloted an airplane. But I’ve been in 100’s (probably well over a thousand) flights as a passenger and pilots get my highest respect. KLM is a wonderful airline and I enjoyed my flights from ATL, DTW and MSP to AMS.

      @@akingdom4mypeople343 I was very impressed that one time when I arrived in Amsterdam at the baggage claim, a KLM employee found me and explained that my bag had been delayed! Saved me the wait until all bags were out and of course they delivered the bag to my hotel a few hours later after it arrived on a different flight.

    The RNAV approach to Runway 10 of TNCM is really useful.

Also where else in the world can you be on a beach and have planes fly overhead.? You go on vacations to places that aren't anything like where you live, that's the whole point to experience something NEW.

    Almost 80 yrs ago myself, my mother and two younger brothers flew with KLM to Curacao, to this day I remember the trip very well. From Amsterdam to Edinburgh to Reykyavik, Iceland to Ghander NFLD to NYC to Miami to Curacao. It was on a Lockheed Constellation. Every time it landed at those different airports, all the passengers, I believe it were about 44 of us, had to disembark while the plane was refueled. My Dad worked for Shell Oil at that time and had gone to Curacao about a year earlier (by boat). Still recall the arrival at the island, seeing my Dad again, where my Dad's friends had made up a sign that read; "Wiens hart Bonster? Dat van Monster" A fantastic memory. This trip was made in the spring of 1947, it had to be one of the earliest that KLM made with the Constellation (Connie) from Holland to Curacao. What a difference nowadays. Thank You KLM

      KLM is a high-quality airline, also the oldest commercial airline in the world, with highly trained professionals. KLM's pilot training is a tough and serious training, but this means you have skilled personnel. In addition, KLM considers the well-being of the traveler very important, which you can rely on well-trained stewards and flight attendants. And KLM has a huge maintenance team, which in turn results in well-maintained aircraft. At KLM, things rarely go wrong. Unfortunately, they have built up a lot of debt due to COVID-19, which almost caused AirFrance - KLM to go bankrupt. Today, these debts are paid off to the Dutch government.

    WOW.. This is def my next holiday destination - Sooooo cool; My passion for planes includes being as close to the center of the underbelly as humanly possible during take off & landings'. The 747 is my all time favorite plane although the Antonov & A300 zero gravity jet are ranked up there; not a fan of the A380 both flying in or to watch. KLM have got the triple threat going on here; Seemingly unassuming the gorgeous baby blue 747 appears very graceful yet demands respect just from Her presence; couple with this Pilot and His Cabin Crew is a package of precision power; KLM's advertising & media team have superbly put that power-team on a flight path to an alluring resort destination. The warm tropical humidity and a slight warm sea breeze - clad only in a bikini and being one with this machine - well, that tops it for me; even the Concorde take off in 77 ranks 2nd & a hot Vegas night takeoff is 3rd, although I do like the short, sharp banking arrival into coolangatta (maybe that's why I've done it maybe 100 times) Kudos
