KLM's new Jamco seats aren't wearing well, there are a lot of chipping off and tear on those 1 year old refurbished seats. Also, the doors close with a magnet, so you will feel it when the passenger behind you closes it, it's a pretty strong magnet! I actually prefer KLM's 787-9 seats, the footwells aren't constrained and it feels more open without the shelf above your knee when sleeping. Bogota is a charming city, I'm glad you got to explore it!!
@@jiangni2236 thank you. Really did enjoy Bogota. I love ❤️ South America as I have connections. How interesting. Although I can think of other airlines where leather in particular is wearing badly.
@@liftoffandtravel i was hiking in Cocora Valley (coffee country) before going to Bogota. In Bogota, I found Simon Bolivar's home interesting and the history depicted in the Gold museum was incredible!
I like their colors on KLM- the blue would go well with my blue eyes😀 The items they use for the meals is creative and appealing- flatware, dishes and more. You are definitely in a happy zone on the flights- your body language shows it; good for you! safe travels.
@@jimbohr Merry Christmas to you 🎄🎁 always a little jealous of those with blue eyes. It's so appealing. There is something magical about KLM. Also thank you. I'm getting more confident with my reviews but it certainly helps when it's a good experience.
Nice - I think you were lucky to get a 777 over a 787 - I hate that the crew on most airlines control the windows on the 787. The new seat looks very good - and the catering looked fine. I haven't flown KLM for years but recall they were very good when I did. Just found your channel so have subscribed.
Thank you for subscribing! Definately 100% when I saw it online that morning I was surprised but was so impressed with the product. The window shades are so frustrating. As a reviewer I spent ages trying to unpolarise the video 😂 What's the 787 like?
When I’ve flown Business Light with KLM, I’ve been able to use the lounge in other cities except Amsterdam. It’s the Lounge 52 that required paid lounge access, which you can get for around €50 (half the difference between standard and light). But it’s little things like this that have made me stick to one alliance (OneWorld) for as much of my travel as possible. Unbundling lounges out of Business Class feels ‘cheap’ on the airline’s part.
That's good to know. To be honest at €50 I think I'd buy a sandwich, go for a walk and watch planes out of the window. Do you think lounge 52 is worth the price? I'm also surprised to see lounges more than €30 but I guess, inflation, price rises push everything higher. Also yes if we didn't live in Birmingham I'd happily fly One World more often. What's your favourite airline?
@gunvaldsandhaland7757 going to go research the difference now you've mentioned it. We are flying the 787 on a fifth freedom route next year. In economy and Premium for a change.
When did you had your flight?? As I can see you show the old amenity kit. KLM has a new amenity kit for months now! Luckily you had a good crew. Normally they are not very professionell.
@@marten.travelling.11 I always out the date I travelled in the description but I appreciate most people me included don't read it 😂 This was back in July of 2024. I have to say the old one does look old. That's sad to hear about the crew. Even with the crew swap both were really good 😊

@@shilakalloe9506 have you tried their partner Air France? Will Definately be back in their other cabins to see how they rate.
I really enjoyed your review. I agree with you about Bogota - it's a really interesting city with incredible history and lots to see!
@@daviddewhurst4708 Thanks David, what inspired you to visit Bogota? Any gems we missed?

@daviddewhurst4708 cheers David, noted for next time. How safe is it to hike?

Much appreciated. The equipment swap was quite the surprise. Have you flown the 787?
@@liftoffandtravel Yes But Not B787-10
