    Another good brutally honest episode, though I do want to note that this is recorded during the pandemic. Normally, KLM does offer the bread roll and from my experience they have always done the pre-lunch drink. I hope it will come back or it may have already come back by now tbh. KLM has reverted most pandemic measures.

    I absolutely LOVE flying with KLM, especially on their A330s. I choose them all the time when travelling between eastern Canada and the middle east, and they almost always use their A330-200s which have the upgraded cabins and are more comfortable than their 787s or 777s.
    Their service is more than fine by my standards, and I agree that their cabin crew is consistently super friendly and motivated and helpful.
    Easily my favourite European airline.

      KLM's -200's are not upgraded right in terms of cabin? I thought both -200 and -300 didn't get upgraded due to being phased out in a couple of years.

For years I’ve been dreaming to become cabin crew at KLM and every year I see the possibility to apply finally coming closer and closer (you need to be 21 to apply and I’m currently 18). Almost all of KLM’s A330’s are equipped with their new cabin, but I don’t know why this one isn’t. Especially while their business class on this aircraft has been renewed. Again, I’m glad you liked it, and hopefully see you on board in the future☺️

    Decades ago KLM offered an AMS-YHZ-YYZ routing. But when Canada Customs changed the rules so that you had to clear customs at the first landing airport they dropped the YHZ stop. It is interesting that they go through the hassle of a YEG stop now.

    • @specialcb

      The YEG stop was just a thing during covid, as there wasn't enough demand for standalone YYC and YEG routes due to travel restrictions. Both airports have since regained their own nonstop routes with KLM.

You have to clear immigration and do the whole security thing at Vancouver, and always significant delays occur. This was back in 2013, so it seems nothing has changed. The Canadian government need to work with airlines to try and implement a far smoother transit process. As it currently stands, it is very stressful.

    On April 1, 2022 my wife and I flew from Johannesburg to Amsterdam a 10 hours and 15 minutes on a 777-300, in what the call “Europe Economy”, what ever that was, I had booked comfort economy, but at check in we were told it was overbooked, even though we had arrived almost 3 hours before flight time. It was one of the worst flights we have had in years. The leg room was very tight, the seats were thinly padded, with narrow short arm rests. The food was of indifferent quality. The plane was plane was packed, the crew remained friendly and gave service with a smile. My gripe is really about the cramped, uncomfortable seating for a long haul flight. (WHAT IS EUROPE ECONOMY?). The plane was late leaving Johannesburg, and we missed our connection to Boston. We were rebooked on a flight to New York instead, but at least we were seated in comfort economy.

    I do appreciate all your Brutally Honest episodes. Especially because you manage to always stay as objective as possible. Yet, I do not agree with you on the friendliness of the crews. Yes, they are not Lufthansa, but I dont think (being German myself) it can get worse than Lufthansa. I have been a Platinum Flying Dutchman and afterwards Platinum Flying Blue member for over 25 years consistently and stopped flying KLM altogether, because the crews became more and more "coudn't be bothered less" up to a straight forward"Lufthansanian" attitude. I own 3 full sets of houses from 1-99, just to give you a hint of how good a customer I was. Happily I'd return to KLM, once I hear their service and friendliness increases substantilly overall.

    Weird about the lack of pillow, I had one when I went to Singapore with KLM in November 2021. Same with the bread rolls... I'm guessing there is going to be excuse of covid somewhere here.

    If you want to get this great view of Greenland, you have to avoid the 787 Dreamliner because the cabin crews of all(?) airlines dim the windows (against your will!) shortly after take off :-(!

    KLM crew is just on point every time. They are not too serious but like to joke around a bit too.
    But the service is still great; i got wished a pleasant connection flight to Alicante when disembarking in AMS. It was in economy class.... How does that even happen?

    Please remind us of your height when commenting on leg-room.
    It would have cost KLM about 2e to bring the meal up to scratch.
    As for crews, please do comment on them in every review.
    My own experiences with KLM, pre-pandemic, have been pretty good. Their long-distance flights seem to be good value-for-money and I'd be tempted to fly with them again once their operational performance gets back to normal.

      yes, the 787 -10 is the perfect replacement for the a330-300, I would be surprised if KLM ordered more -10. They can also order the 330-300, but better the 787-10 because it is made specifically for regional long flights.

    Flew their dreamliner from Amsterdam to Toronto last year, superb flight. Service was spot on. And all the economy features are outstanding for the price. However on my return trip, I had to go home from Chicago to Amsterdam in their A330. You can really feel that this plane is outdated and the seating space was defo not comforting for the 9 hour flight. Cabin crew seemed super pissed overall, and didn't bother much with basic services (refused giving an extra drink for food, which I have never witnessed before on previous flights) not the best professional image. But overall klm is a cool company to fly with. You get what you pay for.

    Why do most of airlines have the same type of seat for a330

    • @sergiolaurencio7534
      @sergiolaurencio7534 2 года назад +1

      because the 330 is made specifically for that just as the 787, the only difference is that the 787 get late for the opportunity. 2-4-2 is based on almost all old carriers and basically because the profitability is getting more up, these seats disappear for more. And the 787 came for that age unfurtinally.
