Hi guys,

Im going to Toronto in March for a week (dublin- amsterdam, amsterdam to toronto pearson), and will be flying with KLM.

Has anyone got any experience with the airline? What kind of service do they have? in flight entertainment? meals etc.?

thanks for any help!

Hi
All depends on the aircraft really.

I have flown with them to India and South America

The Flight to India was a 747 with no seat back TVs etc, pretty dated to be honest.

The one to South America was something else altogether and had all bells and whistles, great food, great entertainment selection etc.

You can always check out http://www.seatguru.com/ to get an idea.

I flew with KLM to Israel and must say, they're probably my favourite airline. Amsterdam has a really nice airport too (complete with an Irish pub which serves really great food :P) The food on the flight was also good, and I can't remember if they showed any movies

I was living in Amsterdam last year and flew KLM to a few different cities. They're a great airline - free drink & snacks and comfortable planes. I got stuck in Schiphol last year a few times due to snow, and KLM were excellent on every occasion.

Your flight from DUB > AMS will be a code share with Aer Lingus, but after that you'll be on KLM.

Schiphol is a great airport, with lots of shopping & eating.

Flew DUB AMS ORD a couple of years back with KLM, (it was cheaper than flying direct and I love getting to see different airports!!) Seats were comfortable, food was nice. On the way back the plane was wasn't too busy so I got 3 seats to myself and slept most of the way to AMS. Which was nice!!

Then felt like a sardine trapped in a can on flight ei ei o back to Dublin!!

I fly regularly to South America with KLM and have always enjoyed their service. Great entertainment and hospitality. On one occasion, when we had to cancel at the last moment, they even refunded the ticket prices, minus a small administration fee, once we had produced a medical cert. No other airline in my experience have been so accommodating and straightforward in terms of customer service. First rate airline.

Great airline, one of my favourites to fly with.

Flew with them a couple of years ago via AMS to Hong Kong. Very comfortable seats, personal screens so you can watch what you want/play games and proper metal cutlery at meal times!

I can't remember what I ate but I do remember because we were travelling to Asia there were Asian food and drink options. Between meals they had sweets and drinks in the galley (?) areas to help yourself to.

On a slightly tangental point, their blue uniform has to be one of the nicest out there.

Have flown business to the States with them on a couple of occasions and they are pretty decent compared to AF or Delta.

Schipol is usually a joy to transit and KLM have plenty of staff and service centres throughout. Flying Blue also a decent FF program with plenty of reward seats available.
