      Senior Purser Eline never did any video work in the past. we met during the flight and I explained to her what I do and how much I admired the B747. She agree to show me around and she was on FIRE since then! Huge thanks to her to the success of making this vlog!

    The amount of passion she has for her position the 747, and for KLM is so genuine, heart warming, and incredibly amazing to see. She would truly to be an asset to any company, flight, and especially to KLM. She is not just a flight attendant, she is a historian that can attest to the pure greatness that KLM and the 747 is.

      @@arsenioseslpodcast3143 Pretty much every major airline has crashed. I guess you won't fly anywhere. Many of them are not their fault. If you're talking about Tenerife, there were two 747's on a runway not meant for those big of planes, a bombing prevented them from their original destination, there was fog, and the accents could not understand each other. KLM has been recognized as a top-tier airline for ages. Crashes were common for every airline back in the 20th century.

    KLM is a fine airline and I have much respect for them and the reason is as follows.....some years ago one of my employees who had cancer was returning home to Japan and had only weeks to live and was in a lot of pain and I informed KLM and they did everything to make him comfortable and upgraded him to business. I was so impressed that they showed compassion over profit and there would be very few other airlines who would make such a gesture in my opinion. Thank you again KLM !

    I love horses. I used to work at a horse ranch taking care of them and I had a favorite horse named daisy. She is a blonde halflinger with a nice light blonde mane. She was so overweight they had to control her feeding. I used to give her peppermint treats. I would always spend my Sunday day offs with her all day and I would ride her bareback and no bridle. All I would do is tug on her mane in the direction I wanted to go and she always did so. It felt like I was in a movie. Very good horse. I miss her.
    Edit. I think I have a old picture of her somewhere on a old ipod touch or something. I'll try and find it and post a link later

    Sam, when I worked for Flying Tigers in the 70s and 80s we used to haul horses in stalls and we did DC-8 walk on-walk off cattle charters from LAX to Asia. Also hauled a Circus from LAX to TYO with all different kinds of animals and the whales for Sea World. Those were fun times to work for a airline.

All the pilots and cabin crew were so sweet, kind, and resourceful, they seem to have so many experience, and they do love their job and the plane so much :'( The senior flight attendant lady with glasses was also really amazing ♡

    Fantastic video! I’ve flown the 747 many times, and like Sam, my favorite aircraft. But I’ve never flown KLM, or the 747 combi. Well, technically I did fly on a Lufthansa 747-400 combi, but it was converted to all passenger when I was on it. So cool, to see the cargo behind the passenger compartment. Amazing plane. That flight attendant was great showing all the details of the plane, including technology that has been upgraded over the decades it has been in service. I think my favorite part was the take-off with the engines and wing with some turbulence. That will always be one of the most memorable things for me about the 747. I remember as a kid looking at that out the window of a TWA 747-200, with the engines moving around seemingly independently and the wing flexing up and down just like in this video, it all seeming impossible to my young mind, and yet we were flying in this massive machine comfortable and safe. I’m still in awe of it 50 years later!

She is awesome! She even talked to the Captain and let me see the cockpit after landing. KLM employees are so friendly to avgeeks!

    Massive respect for KLM. One of the best airlines in the world. Ever since I have moved from the UK to Mexico they are always the number one choice for when I go back to visit the family. Great video Sam, this showcases how professional and how friendly the KLM crew are! I can't believe that they are going to be retiring the 747, its such a beautiful aircraft. It looks like I might have to visit the UK soon before they retire them!
