Nice video! KLM is great, I miss those 747M. my last flight on one was more than 10 years ago (AMS-BKK). Too bad that you could't see Greenland, it's one of the best views you can get on a plane in my opinion. As an advice, I wouldn't remove my shoes until the plane is airborne. Should there be an evacuation, it's always better to have them on.
I just watched this as I celebrate the anniversary of my very first flight aboard a 747-400 on route to the USA for the first time exactly 20 years ago, today. We took off from Schipol. At this precise moment during the flight, we were over the North Atlantic I believe about to go over Greenland on our way to Minneapolis/St Paul. Watching your video brings back fond memories of that day. The excitement I felt in every inch of my body, the sound and smell of the Jet, the gorgeous Italian girl sitting next to me, the great service from the Stewardess and of course, the WONDERFUL food. KLM always feeds its passengers well. It was wonderful. Thank you for making this memorial special. 👊😎
Thank you for the full take off. It is the most exciting part of a flight, and I hate this trend of speeding up take offs. Great report on an interesting flight.
Your meal looks very nice, lovely and colourful vegetable pasta and a nicely prepared salad. I also love how KLM provides you with a free Tub of chilled water.
Nothing more comforting than looking out of the window and seeing two engines hanging under each wing, especially when flying over oceans. It is a shame to see less and less of them flying. Thanks for the great trip report and your experience flying the 747 Combi !!
Very much enjoyed your trip report thanks. What a great aircraft the KLM 747-400 is. Wonderful. Flown on it a few times (BFL, BFW and BFU) and really enjoyed it. The crews are pleasant too. Glad I got to fly them before Corona caused them to be pulled. It was nice to see in your video other pax straining to catch sight of Los Angeles as you descended. That's the fun of flying. We are so blessed to have the chance to experience this. Thanks again for your enjoyable report and for letting us come with you!
That's the spirit. It doesn't really matter how old the IFE is as long as it's in good working order and has a decent variety of movies, music and documentaries to choose from.
I love to fly with KLM, I generally find that their customer service is superb and this is something that is very important to me. I also love the Dutch people very much, very friendly and easygoing.
Took the 747 from LAX to AMS in September 2019 too, just a different date.... I figured that was going to be our last trip on the 747, and it was my third on that particular plane. My next trip to The Netherlands will be later this year in a 777-200.....
This aircraft is PH-BFV ‘City of Vancouver’, not PH-BVF as stated in the video. PH-BVF is in fact a 777-300ER. Obviously this was just a typo, just thought I’d point it out.
Thanks for this trip report man. I’m about to fly LAX-AMS on the KLM 747 next month. Really looking forward to that trip since it is my first 747 flight in years and probably my last chance to fly the KLM 747 :(
Man, I'm wondering if I'll ever get to fly a 747 again. I've flown them on United and Thai before. They are fading....been a few years since I've flown one. Seems a lot louder than I remember!
Thanks for the full take-off roll...about 40 seconds to rotate. I know KLM, Lufthansa, and British Airways still fly commercial 747s. Anyone else? Thanks for this inflight experience!
How in the world would a jet engine this small give such a big roar but as I said it's kinda a little bit to small and engine vs wing give a huge whambamyesmam!!!😂😂😱
They retract as soon as the pilot raises the reverse lever so that no damage can occur to the slats from the reverse flow. As soon as the levers are stowed again, the slats come out again
Flying back and forth to Amsterdam used to be fun with Klm, in the past I used them about 2 to 3 times a year in order to visit my family. Lately I have been hesitant to use them, booking with them has become quit expensive, a charge for triándome a charge for that, the seat u are referring to 17a on a round trip will add. Over 400 to the ticket price. No thanks klm ; by the way happy 100th
Hi, everybody:) The KLM management just simply MUST have LOST their FUCKING mind, by the time they decided to exchange their 747's...by the SCARELINERS (the 787's)!! They will REALLY REGRET, within just months!! There is no such aircraft as the 747!! She is THE QUEEN of the skies :) Regards, Jacob Hansen, Kanebogen, Northern Scandinavia...

Seeing the big blue KLM 747 make a rocket takeoff and gentle smooth climb over the beautiful Dutch Countryside is pure classic

Great video. The 747 will always be close to my heart. Long live the Queen
Also for me!!! 747 FOREVER!
747 forever
I personally think the 747 looks best in the KLM Livery.
I wonder how would a KLM 747 be like with tha amazing sounding RB211s of British Airways' 747s and 767s
@@PlanesAndGames732 not good, only ba for those
Yes
Al the 747 looks great , but klm colors .. blue in the sky :-)

AMS - LAX, in a KLM 747, that area is gone.
the Shoe bomber, you remember flying in 2001?

during my experiece the crew were very polite but maybe your experice was diffrent
What a beautiful video man! Enjoyed it! Liked!

I did KL601 in Feb 2019 also in the city of Vancouver! Still in awe of the view on Greenland! Thanx
miss this AC with this airlines.......nice video
I have been in that exact same plane about 17 years ago. From lax to Amsterdam.
My kinda seat!
Economy I don't really mind, left side window near the wing - excellent.👍🥰😊
fantastic flight report from this combi 744.
I flew with the city of Vancouver from JFK to Schiphol on October 8th 2018. My seat was one row in front of yours. Nice video!
Honestly I love the video keep the good work going
Thank youuuu, brought back golden memories!!!

Delivered in 1999? Wow 🤩. Flew on a B747-400 that year to go to California with my family. British Airways flight ✈️ from Heathrow to SFO.
I couldn’t agree more - MD 11 was my favorite also 🏆✈️
MD 11 was a dream
Lots of food!! It looked good too!
its very fake there klm
what a beautiful plane, I'd love to fly to New York in this plane one day :-) thanks for the video¡¡¡ :-)

Best feeling is when you walk off the plane :)

Also wtf do you mean.
Que buen video mi hermano
El avión es el amo y señor de la tecnología.
El BOEING 747, el avión más exitoso en la historia de la aviación.
Awesome
Loved the video Thank you
I‘ve flown on 10A from AMS to MEX and back but you should mention that we are talking about the more expensive Economy Comfort here 😉
beautiful video
War ein schönes Video
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and KLM will loose a big part their identities when the beautiful majestic blue KLM 747 retires. That will be heartbreaking
so sick replace them I cant understand this
787 is my new favorite plane
Man, I'm wondering if I'll ever get to fly a 747 again. I've flown them on United and Thai before. They are fading....been a few years since I've flown one.
Seems a lot louder than I remember!
there are still plenty of 747 out there! good luck
@@amandeuce Indeed, BA still fly lots of them.
With the galley behind that wall there, it looks like your in a rather small single aisle jet but no...

Nice i havent hear dof a 747 combi lel
Last time flew 747 was 2003 to kl Malaysia didn't get chance after that it's a shame.
👍👌Good Video ❤747❤
Combi flight...seems odd...3-2-Wall would make feel closed in.
I never fly on a combi planes in my life but only a full pax
The 747 has the smoothest flights ever
Deuceeeee! I will join the other comments. It’s hard to spot you with this name!
747 👀👀
This plane will land for the last time this weekend on AMS Schiphol Airport
Fun fact: after eating the food on the plane, it's weight is still on the plane.
What year is she Built and wicth City is that.

Sometime in 2021

Why do the slats retract on touchdown? Anyone know?
They retract as soon as the pilot raises the reverse lever so that no damage can occur to the slats from the reverse flow. As soon as the levers are stowed again, the slats come out again
what was the date of your flight?
sometime in October 2018
Bring Amandeuce back! Like the positive attitude but that ife screen looks a pixelated washed out mess
Well the IFE upgrade has been some time ago, and theyre not going to upgrade on planes scheduled for disassembly.
KLM just announced they'll be retiring all 747s by the end of March because of reduced business caused by the corona virus :(
the respect is far below zero by klm very mess up there

nice video but I think that the catering in economy comfort is POOR
i liked it
whole klm is bad food and service so far below zero
Very expensive KLM always, you can better fly with a younger plane and cheaper plane like Turkish Airlines. Klm is very old and expensive.
yes and bad service too
I've flew with KLM. From Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur. It's even cheaper than the low-cost airline
@@444taka but service also very bad
its have a bad reputation that klm here
Very bad airliner food is dry and unfriendly crew there and service
Cant agree
@@niekmoller6415 yes it have a bad reputation here lots accidents also on platfroms crew very un friendly so fake as well
Lots of accident? I think you are the biggest accident.

On Tenerife make accident this one
