- Опубликовано: 13 май 2024
- Welcome to Amsterdam, Netherlands. Today we will be hopping on the KLM 777-300ER down to Amsterdam in the Business Class cabin. This is the older version of KLM Business Class cabins with the 787 having an updated cabin. I still enjoyed this product, especially the lounge and the plating for the meals. Join me today as I fly down to Dubai. I ope you enjoy the video and stay posted for more upcoming.

You're by far one of my favorite flight reviewers, please do keep up your good work! Loved watching this!
Thank you for the kind words?
!*
I love your reviews. You’re so enthusiastic. Keep it up.
I’m glad you like them. Thanks!
As an e KLM 747 pilot, this brings back lots of nostalgia! Well done, great report on my fantastic employer KLM. Great showcasing our national pride, our bluebird! Well done!! Flip.
that meal service was stunning
Totally! I loved the plating and silverware
New to your channel! Great reviews! And I like your voice!
Thank you!
KLM is my Favorite Airlines in Europe Have not flew Business Class on B777.I Have flew Business on b747 upper deck And A330.Great work
I’m sad to have missed out on their 747s! This was my first time on KLM and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Next time on the 787 though!
Another simply brilliant review on KLM (Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij) Patrick; though I like the newest 1-2-1 seat config; but the review was lovely, and the food? superb!, and as somebody else said (here below) ; Do please keep posting reviews, I simply DO FANCY all of them; you're a brilliant reviewer
Thanks! I do want to try KLM’s newer product for sure
Love the sound of the GE90 engine start up. It's even louder in economy class behind the wing all the way to the very rear end of the plane near the last 4th door behind.
The GE90 is a beautiful sight and sound
My friend worked for years at KLM NY. He gifted me a starter set of those little Dutch houses which I’m adding to. Except for the privacy issues, BC seemed nice. Thanks for posting👍
That’s awesome! I do like the little houses. Glad you liked the video
Nice channel and interesting to watch, your reviews on the many different airlines are on point
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Patrick I love your review !! thanks for sharing
Thank you! Glad you liked it
So truly epic -- love this video! KLM was the first international airline I ever flew when I was around 14 or so between LAX and AMS, and it's truly my no. 1 favourite always. I've yet to experience the flagship lounge in AMS, or it's newer business class product, but this was a super, super cool video -- can we talk about the onboard coffee stirrers?! Obsessed. Cheers!
That’s awesome! And yes, I looooved all the utensils!
I am going thru Schipol to Johannesburg in May and this made me excited for my layover! I wish I had more time there. Can't wait to see the clock too...I had no idea that existed!
I could have spent the full day in there with the lounge access included. Enjoy!
Great video, lots of detail and all very clear and informative, thank you. 😊 We're due to fly business class with KLM early 2023 and we can't decide between row 1 and row 6. Both apparently have the larger leg rest (compared to row 2 to 5). What do you think we should do? 😂
I’m usually fan of row 1, but in this case, row 6 was a total win! The only bummer is during boarding you get a bunch of people walking past you, but one you’re in the air, it feels super private
Those little ceramic houses are such a clever idea. How did they come up with that?
I love it! They’re all modeled after real Dutch houses. Whoever came up with it needs a raise
@@PatrickSheaAviation Not 100% sure, but the story I heard is that in the 50-ties some ICAO rule made it impossible for airlines to hand out gifts to passengers. By providing a drink KLM got around that...the house was just the packaging :-)
@@Jetstream015 In 1952 or thereabout, IATA forbade airlines to present gifts costing more than 75c (US$?) to their passengers. KLM got around this by offering its 1st class passengers a glass of liquour after a long journey and the package was a miniature house (the real gift). IATA took the KLM to court but it ruled that nothing had been mentioned about the packaging, a rule in favor of KLM. Btw: each year on October 7, the day KLM was founded in 1919, a new model is introduced. Source: Welcome aboard, a centurty of KLM.
@@arnoldpalthe3915 ah, thanks for the detailed reply!
@ 23:05 😍😍💪🏻
i love those houses, airlines that theme themselves heavily appeal to me, also that visa checking process must have horrible LOL
I agree with you! And it wasn’t too bad in a business class seat… but I can only imagine being stuck in a middle seat for that long
Thanks for the upload, your experience was similar to mine. Used KLM business for the first time in 2022 on my regular long haul. Good experience, service comfort and food all excellent if not in the top range. On my return journey I was assigned an A.F. Flight which was even better with a 1-2-l layout which naturally ~I preferred. This year my flight will be A.F. both ways.
That’s awesome! I do want to try KLM’s 1-2-1 setup in their Dreamliners. It would be a nice comparison
I was wondering if you know if the business class seats on this older KLM business class have a 3.5mm jack for using my own Bose headphones with a wireless 3.5mm Bluetooth adapter?
Honestly I don’t remember, but there’s some KLM experts in these comments so there’s a chance someone will chime in
Great review. How much alcohol is in the houses given out? Looks like it would be a problem if you are transiting. I guess you can ask for one without alcohol.
I'm not sure exactly how much is in it, but seems like less than 100mL. I also transited with it and it didn't get pulled. So hopefully it's all good! Thanks!
@@PatrickSheaAviation When you go to no-alcohol-allowed countries they will hand out empty ones (like in Saudi-Arabia)
Just came back to JFK from Budapest (transfer) via this airport. What I didn't like was 1:Flight left gate E24 & I was at E2. 2:Flight delayed due to plane switch 3 hrs prior 3: No bathroom/coffee station gate E17-24
22:17, Almost 7 months later on July 17 2023, I flew KLM for the 1st time, this time from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Manila, Philippines, this time on the 5th freedom flight, this time on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and the KLM safety video is the same. This time, my KLM flight or my 5th freedom KLM flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Manila, Philippines, departed on time, which is good. The flight was 3 and a half hours and it's okay.
The 787s sound like they have a nicer cabin than KLMs 777s but I haven’t flown on one yet
Really? Oh yeah the Boeing 787 Dreamliner's is nice and okay. Okay maybe soon you will fly KLM, Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Good luck.
AIr Sickness Bag sounds a little less crude than Barf Bag. LOL! ;-) I've flown KLM Business Class a few times and out of Chicago O'Hare back then, they only used the 747-Combi and boy did I love the upper deck! DId you try Genever? I got to really enjoy drinking Genever (with tonic) which I was told was the predecessor to Gin. When the Brits made Gin they were short three ingredients which is why the much different flavor. Genever has a more grainy taste which I like. (At least this is all what I was told by BOLS). I also found it interesting that every time I asked for a Bailey's after dinner, they said they didn't have that and gave me something similar which eventually I found out was Amarula, also a cream liqueur made in South Africa which makes total sense why KLM serves that versus Bailey's. Oh, and at least one of those Delft Blue souvenir houses is based on an actual building in Curaçao, otherwise they're all based on buildings in the Netherlands. (And one of the Anne Frank House, which I am lucky enough to own).
I'll have to try some of that stuff, I haven't had any of it yet. I do miss those Combis. KLM and Alaska Airlines were some of the biggest users of those legends of aviation!
I always keep the BC menus. 🤷🏻♀️ 😅
I love keeping souvenirs so I really gotta try not to get carried away lol
Lord you trust the UAE Sim card on your phone. No thank, good video as usual.
Lol 😂 I unfortunately (or fortunately) don’t have a sim slot on my phone, so it’s all done through satellites and black magic. Glad you liked the video!
It seems weird if last row always runs out of options… would be a big red flag for me if I have to pay the same price as front row passengers…
I've always thought the same thing... I guess they're afraid of having excess meals
Dum question,u still pay for the food in the lounge like ikea?
I actually didn’t eat the food in this lounge because I was short on time, so I don’t want to give wrong information, but I haven’t found a lounge that requires you to pay for the food
I been to the KLM lounge you do not have to pay.
what about second hot towel I couldn't see it? and in my opinion their business class its very poor the meal presentation and desert its poor
While I do think the 2 seat setup is undesirable, I think they do it better than the others with the same setup. I also thought their meal was great, but that’s just all my opinion. I am curious what airline you think sets a good standard?
@@PatrickSheaAviation I like AIRFRANCE,SWISS,AUSTRIAN, British if its new cabin business class then SINGAPORE,EMIRATES,ETIHAD,QATAR and also Korean,Asiana,still havent tried ITA AIRWAYS but I really want to and I hate LUFTHANSA BECAUSE they fuccked all airlines in the group before swiss and Austrian they were fantastic but now they are following low cost LH unfortunately Europeans carriers they lost their dignity
@@robertgonzales3936 good group of airlines. I haven’t flown the majority of those. I do also share your opinion on Lufthansa. I am excited to see if their new cabin update will fix some of the problems
@@PatrickSheaAviation i will take another 10 years for them to have 1-2-1 cabin for their business class passengers now they use ex Philippines airlines cabin lol even Philippines has better cabin I dont waste my money with LH anymore its not worth it
I really don't get you people :-) For the price of one business class ticket, I can fly twice in economy! I may, at some time in the future, upgrade, when I've earned enough points on Delta Sky miles or KLM flying blue 🙂
Oh believe me I know. I hadn’t even tried business classes until a little under a year ago. Saving up miles to upgrade from time to time has become a fun little side hustle for me now though!
I hate the KLM Lounge in Amsterdam! It's definatly one of the worst! It's always crowded and they only offer little amounts of food and drinks.
Otherwise, nice and really interesting review. But please speak a little bit slower and more clear. Your American accent makes it quite exhausting to listen all the 39 minutes. 👍🏼
KLM has the worst business class product when compared to other Skyteam members.
It does seem like their newest product, on the 787s is an improvement so I'll have to check that out at some point. KLM also has some of the best point redemption values of SkyTeam business classes as well, so that helps
In principle: a great video...could have been. But gosh, you seem to be such a fan boy of KLM..you praise them much more than they deserve and this review is totally uncritical. KLM has great crews, but the rest is meeh. Food in the lounge? Way below par..very poor. The cabin? 2-2-2? No real criticism from you for this totally inacceptable cabin? The wines? As usual in the 8 Euro super market range..these are eco drinks!!. Horrible stuff for someone who loves wines..even more above the clouds , where EK or QR deliver. The food? presentation looked ugly like on all my KLM flights..and at least for me also the taste wasnt good. Great video in terms of images comprehensiveness, systematicness..but your commentary does not reflect at all in a balanced way the real expereince IMHO..but it seems thats the way you like it.
I hear ya. I do think that as far as 2-2-2 business classes go, it’s the best one I’ve been a part of even if the seat is a bit awkward (so maybe “best of the worst” is more fitting). First time on a new airline is always exciting so I’ll say some of the extra praise comes from that combined with the fact that until this year, I struggled to be able to travel much at all (let alone a premium cabin) and so as I become more fortunate to travel more and more I’m sure that comparisons and “scope of reference” will improve. Thanks for the feedback
Again, you waste a lot of time in the terminal explanations, and then , in take off and landings yoy put extra speed. Its a shame, as always!
So difficult to listen to a narrator that disrespects his audience, by mispronounced terms such as KLM. What does Kaylim even mean? Articulate. Pronunciate. You'r adult enough for that.
Tough take man
