Avoid This HUGE KLM Business Class MISTAKE!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 мар 2023
- KLM has one of the best business class products in Europe. But one thing many people don’t realize is that when you fly KLM business class, not every seat is the same... even on the same route! And if you book the wrong type of seat, you’ll be paying the same high fare, but you’ll get an inferior experience. I'll show you how to avoid that mistake, and I'll bring you along as our family flies from JFK to Amsterdam and back on KLM business class!
When you're done with this one, watch our Singapore Airlines business class video here:

What camera/phone do you use for filming? The quality is amazing!
I was looking into the KLM business class for this summer. This is great info!
Glad it was helpful! 😀 Thanks for watching!
I will be flying KLM to Amsterdam and then to Copenhagen Denmark. We are so excited. Thank you for your updates. We really appreciate it.
Nice video and it is good to hear that you had a wonderful experience with KLM. I fly them quite often in BC to different destinations in Africa, but must say that the service of the Cabin Crew gets worse by every single flight. The hard product is cool, we love the 2-2-2 configuration in the 777 because you can sit together at the window travelling as a couple. In their 787 it is not possible. We also love the Mini Cabin. But as you said, avoid it at night flights, because the Cabin Crew is always so loud and they don't care about it. Especially all these old Cabin Crew members only rush through the plane with their unfriendly grumpy faces. On my flight to Johannesburg 4 weeks ago the average age of the cabin crew was definatly over 60. And they just lost all passion and joy.
Great content! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hey TopFlight family. Good to see you back. Hope you’re settling in nicely. Champagne 🥂 wine 🍷 and cognac 🥃? Lit indeed 😂. The clog salt 🧂 n pepper shakers are cute. Great points in comparing the 2 sections. Wow. Will never have the opportunity to fly business or 1st class so traveling through you guys. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.
Hi it’s always great to see you here! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review 🎉
Love the video you guys🙏 I live for Sean cam🫶
Hahaha thanks Dan! ❤️ I’m excited to see what they do with the 777s. Yay to sliding doors!
Went on KLM to Poland last year.. They were so amazing and gave me a Thank You Package with a handwritten letter.. and I was economy!
Wow I love that! 👏🏼👏🏼
Than you had lucky day because klm are very rude s ad nd bad food
@@willemlenteren1485 😂
@@willemlenteren1485never experienced that
KLM and their close partner Air France are two of my favorites!! The crew were so thoughtful and I appreciated their hard work.
Thanks for the heads up and great reviews. Just booked a trip to Indonesia with KLM, and BOY was i happy to see that 1-2-1 config on the 777-300 er !
The meal looked like a mini 'rijsttafel', nice! The cities in the Netherlands have heaps of great Asian restaurants 😋
Thnk you for sharing your trip here.
My family and I flew KLM business class on their 787-10 back in August 2022 (JFK to AMS) and the experience was amazing
Ah I can’t wait to try that product! It looks fantastic.
Ifs not what it seems dont try
@TopFlightFamily What camera/phone do you use for filming? The quality is amazing!
Nice video!...those little houses is filled with GIN?????or empty?
Enjoyed your video and your engaging presentation style (despite the annoying click bait title!) The only problem (I don't think) you allude to is that even if you think you are booked on a flight with the new seats there is always the possibility of equipment change. We are booked for 2025 AMS-BKK and hoping all the 777-300's that they normally use on this route have all been retrofitted with the new product. Last year we were booked on AF PE to BKK and when we initially booked it was showing a PE configuration that had new seats but after a few months it was changed to show the old configuration. Not a lot you can really do about that!
I waited until the end of the video for the huge mistake but it turns out it is something that one really cannot avoid. I will be thankful just flying business class for anything.
Dii ok nt try klm very bad
Great video, I definitely need the hair gel.....
thank you so much for the video! I am trying to book honeymoon flights from Houston to Greece and KLM has the best rate so far!
Its not good there
I would love a mini sculpture but meh I've never flown business class. I'm not one of the wealthy YET! 😂
Love KLM and their merch on board. As someone who does the points game with Flying Blue you can snag seats like this for 3 people for about 90k miles plus $450 cash for taxes and surcharges one way or 180k miles r/t. KLM and Air France are now under the same umbrella. I was able to snag AF BIZ seats NYC to CDG for 165k flying blue miles plus $605. Total amount without points would have been over 10k. I know you said, you hate the points game but you guys fly so much you should really get into it!
Haha we don’t hate it at all! We just haven’t learned yet but we’re working on it 😉 Hopefully later in the year you’ll see some flight reviews from us where we talk about how we booked it on points! 😀
@@TopFlightFamily Awesome can't wait to watch! Love all your videos. I have teens about your kids age that I travel with. So your videos touch me. I love to see happy kids travelling! :)
I've just discovered your channel and subscribed recently. Been living in Japan for 19 years, originally from NY. Travel quite a bit for work and fortunate to have opportunities to travel for fun as well. I look forward to your Asia flights later this year. And as others have pointed out, the Sean Cam is awesome. Keep up the great content.
Welcome aboard! So glad you found us! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great review, hopefully on the next trip our family of 3 can also fly this product. 12K for the family is definitely out of our range, but this seems doable using points. Flying Blue points are super easy to accumulate. We really enjoyed the Air Europa business product last summer, this product seems nicer. Hopefully their award availability is solid.
How do you accumulate flying blue points?
@@mikeheerkens1195 Amex, Chase and Capital One points all transfer to flying Blue. All it takes is a few sign up bonus and you're good for a business transatlantic flight 😎
Hi Top Flight Family, I know this is a little off topic of the video above but I wanted to know if you guys ever did a video your Kissimmee, Florida trip (going there next week) and I’m asking if you guys also have a full tour of your (Play) Airbnb Home you stayed in cause I will be considering in staying in one of those😂🎉😂
No but seriously I love your videos
Should I fly:
Delta or Spirit
( struggling on this decision )
I could never recommend Spirit 😅 You know we’re too bougie for that! Lol. Delta is great but pretty pricey these days. Is JetBlue an option for you? We like them a lot. No we don’t have a full video of the Kissimmee house. Just what’s in IG & TikTok!
@@TopFlightFamily Oh okay, and I MIGHT consider flying JetBlue Airlines after your review I’ve watched!❤️❤️❤️
The new @klm 777 business class individual seats (with door) is even better than 787. I do recommend you to fly again!
You should be able to lounge hop within alliances, like on star alliance and one world, I lounge hop depending on airline in airports like istanbul or bangkok you have many choices
so which airlines do you like more KLM or Turkish airline
I am planning a trip to Paris, France sometimes next year. Will your family be going back anytime soon? I could use some advice on planning. Thanks.
Hey we’d love to go back but nothings on the books yet!
Lit serge on all flight reviews plz 😂
🤣🤣 He was one sip of cognac away from slurring his words lol
I flew on KLM at the end of 2022, the flight to AMS was on the 787-10 and then I flew on to CPT on the 777. I really hated the seats on the 777 with the 2-2-2 configuration. I'll try to avoid flying on there 777 again until the finish the retrofits. The 787s have 1-2-1 configuration and those seats were really good.
The catering on both flights were good. Transiting AMS was not great, there were no showers available.
There actually are several options at the airport where you can take a shower 🙂
I can't believe how busy the lounge was!
Haha yeah it’s a wonder we even got in! Delta Sky Clubs have gotten so crowded that they’ve implemented all these restrictions on who can and can’t enter!
I regularly fly from Bangkok to Amsterdam 5 times a year, but switched from KLM to EVA AIR, because sometimes you sit in a Premium seat and pay Business class
Ask about transit in Frankfurt 🙂 we was in queue and suddenly the passport officer said bye I finished my work 🤔 and we changed to other queue and it’s happened again so I missed my flight… the next time the passport control asked me why you are coming and how long and I should to show them all my booking reservations … horrible airport
KLM has announced that their 777's will be renewed; the newest KLM world Business Class (with a door) + the brand new Premium Comfort class. Their 777's will be 'under maintenance' after the 787's get their brand new Premium comfort class and in 2024 every KLM plane will be on 787 standards!
I can’t wait! Woohoo!
If there is a long line at the check-in desk, then recommend going to the Delta One desk at JFK. KLM World Business Class is also welcome there. It is right next to the security so you'll get to skip the line.
On the Amsterdam trip, did you get to keep the salt and pepper shakers?
Haha I’m actually not sure! I didn’t keep them but they do look kind of disposable / one use. I know on Turkish Airlines our flight attendant told us we could keep the shakers. So maybe yes?
KLM and SCHIPHOL WAS A MESS LAST YEAR! UGH
BUT this year there trying to do there best but Schiphol is not as it was like the past.
i dont mind people looking they often dnt think im buisnes anny way at gate personel or people wil cal me out on jumping the line whlist buisnes boarding is called.
KLM Is My Favorite Airlines In Europe And They Have A Great Crew Yes I Know A330 And B777 Have 2-2-2 Seating In Business Class.Only The B787-9 And B787-10 Have 1-2-1 Seating.Great Work
Hopeful we’ll be able to fly the 787 soon! Or even the refreshed 777s later this year or next. I’m excited to see those sliding doors!
I didn’t have a good experience with klm economy. Will be trying their business class.
They have bad reputation here dont try
Wondered if you gotten clearance for filming in-flight. Because the last time I was flying with KLM, i took a quick snap to send to my family that I'm boarding. But was promptly asked to step aside to delete that photo, very persistent as well. Crew was quite adamant that i delete it, which kinda put me off for the entire flight. 😮💨
Shooting on flights is always a bit tricky. Every creator handles this differently, but what we usually do is give the crew a heads up as early on in the flight as possible that we are making a video about our family’s trip. We let them know that we will not film other passengers or the crew, usually puts them at ease right away. I think they just want to know that you are not trying to catch them making mistakes and then posting that on socials. But then again, sometimes you just encounter really grumpy flight attendants, and they just don’t want any photos or videos happening at all on the flight. So I suspect you may have encountered one of those!
One more tip is that I try to make sure I’m not filming the crew as we are first boarding the aircraft and they are standing there greeting passengers. I’ll either turn the camera off or just point it at my feet during that time. Because that often puts them on edge from the very first moment.
kLM for the last couple of years have made announcements at the start of the flight to not take photo's of other pax or staff without permission. Which is good should not be filmed here without their consent
@@TopFlightFamilybut this video clearly contains other pax. I hope you got their permission before filming them otherwise you should blurr them out!
I just booked a KLM business class flight to Vegas. It's a 787 in a 1-2-1 configuration.
Agree about Frankfurt being unhelpful Munich is much the same
KLM deleted my baggage claim incident and never responded to me. I am never flying with them ever again.
It is difficult as a 19 year old flying alone for the first time. My computer was destroyed and my baggage was soaking wet after being left in the rainstorm outside in Vienna.
I urge you to save your time, frustration, and money and never fly KLM.
Ámsterdam !! Omg
"A real... real plastic flower" LOL He is funny.
The Netherlands is the biggest Flower market from te World en KLM fly with plastic flowers?????
How dare that pilot keep interrupting the girls swag bag review 😂
I know, right? Sean had important work to do! 😂
In trainer’s pilots
U did not show us the bed that is not good
i have many positive experiences with KLM transatlantic business class. Great service. Good food. Friendly crew. BUT...the seats!! Worn hollow. The hard edge cuts off ones circulation behind the knees. I once had a seat that was so uncomfortable (collapsing to one side) that I had to complain to the head stewardess. She thought I was exagerating so I stood up and invited her to try it. She did and was both apologetic and embarassed but nothing could be done. A 9 hour flight with no sleep and lingering back ache.
Skip the filler to 12:30 . The mistake is the seats are better on the 787, this video was 777. Same price inferior product.
6:05 For the mistake
Im Dutch
As of this month, all Business Class seats in the KLM B777s will be replaced by new seats with sliding doors and direct aisle access. In addition, a new class will be added, the Premium Economy.
My pet hate , backpack not held in front of you !
😂😂WHAT TO DO WITH PRINCESS SEAN💅🌻 ❤PRINCESS ELLA💅🌻❤ I JUST LOVEEEEE💘 LOVEEEEE💘 THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO🎉 ENJOY LIFE BEAUTIFUL💐FAMILY🥂❤💞🇯🇲
You are aware that those houses have Dutch gin inside them?!
Haha yeah I forgot to mention it!
Then you should have paid for first class instead of complaining.
2 2 2 business class is a bit old school …fine if I’m with my wife but otherwise I’d pass
555 this seat is premium econmi .... business 1+2+1. Only okej. This seat very bad
You better avoid them they have a bad reputation here to v CB os tuners bad food and service
I loathe those plastic clogs salt and pepper. Cheap looking and plastic pollution. Why??
I flew KLM JFK-AMS years ago. Worst crew ever. Bitter, older ladies who long before forgot that they were the face of KLM. Out of thousands of flights this one stands out as the very worst.
First!!
Yay! It’s been too long! 😀
You shouldn't talk with a lozenge in your mouth. Or whatever that was.
Never FLY KLM the ground staff at Schiphol are the worst in the world ,
Indeed flights also disaster sick food to
Klm have a bad experience for many and a bad reputation
pleas never fly them againe ok its abig mistake
