    I actually love that royal delft blue china...I think its the perfect china for KLM to use for serving. AMS-SFO was a 747 route for so long, it's a bit sad to see it serviced by the 772 and 789, but even though you got an older aircraft, a lot of the business class experience is in the quality of the crew and it sounds like you were pretty happy with them. And anytime you can fly into SFO and SAN on the same day, it's not a bad gig.

    • @sanspotter
      @sanspotter  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Totally agree David! KLM onboard service is excellent, and it’s a great experience- no matter what the seat is like. And I had no idea what that little house was when they presented me with it. I had to do some research after I got home… 😄

    KLM are updating all there business class seats starting from next year 2023. If you booked earlier you probably would of gotten the flight way cheaper . I booked my business class several months early and got my business class including return £2000 . which is $2600 that includes taxes . Business class via klm is pretty damn good even with the older seats compared to the Dreamliner , cabin crew are always amazing.

    KLM offers a very good Business Class product which I’ve used and been perfectly happy with, However if you manage to get allocated to their partner airline Air France which I’ve done in the past it’s even better. The price you mentioned seemed very high considering what I pay for long haul but I’m guessing that the Europe-U.S.A. route is hiked up because it’s one of the most lucrative.

    • @sanspotter

    When I flew KLM in the summer, I noticed the plane name. It was Busy Lizzie on one side, and Vlijtig Liesje on the other. I was unaware that this was a flower, and having Bluebell for the return trip would continue this theme. And thus, the 787s are named after flowers. The 777s are in two categories, the 300s are national parks, but the 200s are heritage sites. Ferarra City is in northern Italy where many renaissance buildings are located. The 737s are birds, the A330s are famous town squares and when they flew 747s they were named after famous cities.
    Oh, and even in Economy, KLM is a pretty good flight. Could have had a wider seat, at 17 inches I wound up getting run into on the aisle a little too often to catch any sleep, but service was excellent. I'd fly them again from ORD-AMS-ORD.

We were supposed to be on the 777-200 but it is has now been switched to the 787-10, and I am hoping they have a great upgrade deal to Business Class so I can try the seats, but it would have to be a really great deal since my wife and daughter are also flying with me on that trip.

      Agreed. The newer Air France Super Diamond pods on the 777 are much nicer and private. The angle of the pods provide for much wider footwells, which for me are essential on long haul flights from Europe to the West Coast. I can’t sleep at all with my feet squeezed into a tiny box. It did appear on this aircraft that the aisle seat had a larger footwell, but still way too confining. I’ve flown KLM’s 789, which had a version of the Diamond pod, as I remember. It, too, was better than a 2x2x2 configuration - at least for me, as I travel solo.

      Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve done a UA video. I fly them a lot though, so I’m sure it’ll happen again soon(ish)!

    I like how you actually blur the faces of the passengers next to you, unlike some yters…….

      I felt like it was especially important this time, as the KLM onboard welcome announcement has a part about not filming members of the cabin crew (or other passengers). First time I heard it I thought they were specifically talking to me. 😬😬😅

      Don’t worry Scott. The cabin crew on KLM says it on every flight not to film crew or passengers without their permission. Very nice you did blur faces though. Awesome review, I like your voice over comments a lot. It feels like you take your audience really with you when reviewing.

    KLM business is nearly always a winner…..and a good option to the US, especially from Glasgow/Scotland to avoid Heathrow. Great video.

    We do fly with KLM 2 or 3 times a year in Business Class to different african cities. This only because they have the best and fastes network to Africa from Europe. The service is completly different than to US flights. The food they offer on these flights is disgusting, especially when you fly from Africa to Amsterdam. The general Service is better on every Ryanair flight. Sometimes we think they only send their most grumpiest and most unprofessionell Cabin Crews to Africa. I do not understand why people still like to fly with KLM. So I would never spend any of my hard earned Miles for an KLM flight. I prefer to take them for Air France flights.

    I frequently use KLM from Houston to Amsterdam. KLM service and food presentation is always good in business class. I prefer their 787 10 seat configuration, but find the 777 200 ok when traveling with my wife. Unfortunately, they having been using their A330’s on the Houston route lately. We now have over 20 delft houses. I stay away from their pre arrival meals.
