DFW-AMS-DFW A330. Service onboard very good, decent seats. Ground service quite efficient -
not much wait time to collect checked-in baggage. Entertainment system with excellent
selection of movies with VOD.

They lost my baby crib "somewhere" in Europe. Not only I had to spend week traveling around
Scotland without it with two small kids, but even now when I'm back in the US - the crib is
missimg "somewhere". They promised to contact me while in Scotland - didn't happen. On my way
back to US I stopped by their desk - they promised to find it and send it to me. 15 days later
I have no crib, I have no phone number, my file reference number they gave me does not work
and there is nobody I can contact here in the US, nobody answer the phone at EDI airport
either and none of my messages have been answered. The baggage claim system on line does not
work. Does anyone has any idea what I need to do next?

Glasgow-Amsterdam-Beijing. The flights were comfortable and staff attentive. There were meals,
drinks and snacks served throughout the flights with a smile from the staff. The flights were
early landing and check in was fast and efficient.

I have never been so frustrated with any airline I've ever flown on! Given assigned seats by a
KLM agent for a flight from Houston to Rome via Amsterdam (booked three months earlier) for my
daughter and myself, I found those assigned seats had "disappeared" when we checked in. A
nice ticket agent in Houston did help me get another aisle seat and one next to it for my
daughter for the long flight from Houston to Amsterdam. Wishing to avoid the same "no seats"
problem going back on the long flight from Amsterdam to Houston, I called Delta from Rome. I
think even the Delta agent was shocked that KLM would not give me seats when he found out that
KLM was holding 40 aisle seats for emergencies. They told the Delta agent that I would have
to wait for seat assignments when I checked in for th return flight back to Houston.
Of course, that was a joke. The agent in Rome could only give us seats for the Rome to
Amsterdam flight. When we checked in at Amsterdam, the flight was full. My daughter and I
weren't even able to sit together! I've rated the airline a "2" below instead of a "0" because
I did not feel that safety issues were involved - just poor customer service!

CDG-AMS B737-400. Decent legroom but seats look rather old. Web check-in quick and easy to
use. Informative captain, very friendly and smiling stewardesses. A bit disappointed with
catering - only biscuits but large choice of hot/soft drinks. Flight on-time.

LHR-KUL in business class. LHR-AMS sector on 737-900, business class concept on this short
sector is to keep middle seat free for comfort. AMS-KUL on 777-200, business cabin full,
service was not up to mark. Asked crew to wake me for breakfast but this was ignored! KLM
fares for business are expensive but product is very inferior as compared to Malaysia Airlines
or Singapore Airlines long haul.

ABZ-AMS-BKK return. Aberdeen to Amsterdam 1hr 20mins with a beer and a biscuit. I've
travelled Amsterdam to Bangkok regularly on this service and have always been let down by the
food and old entertainment system (mainscreen TV's). I was surprised to find their 747 combi
used on this route has now been fitted with AVOD. There were a good selection of movies and
programmes. The service seems to have improved too with drinks runs for a change. The food was
OK but not great and very small portions. The return leg was in another 747 also with AVOD
although on return leg the stewards decided to hide for most of the flight in the galley.

AMS-DXB / MCT-AMS in Economy. Check-in at Schiphol seemless, had access to the new fast track
lines due to frequent flyer status. Service onboard was very good. We sat in the Economy
Plus cabin and it was nice, especially the bulkhead seats (very cramped with the tables built
into the armrests). MCT to AMS also good, with the exception of the rather nasty KLM reps in
Muscat Airport, who charged us a completely different rate for excess baggage. Cabin
personnel again good, seats comfortable, but a bit tight (again bulkhead seats). Catering on
all legs was very good.

AMS-MXP, evening flight to Milan from Amsterdam. Check-in in Amsterdam a Breeze. Only needed
to drop off my bag at the counter. Receiving my boarding card on my mobile phone is a big
plus, saves time and paper. Boarding KL European flights is not very efficient (read small
chaos). While europe select and elite passengers are invited to board the aircraft all other
passengers are also running for the aircraft door. I can imagine this bugs europe select
passengers as they must have paid a fortune for their ticket in more or less the same seat.
The purser greeted all passengers warmly. During the 1.20 flight a sandwich and a drink were
served by chatty attendants, followed by coffee or tea. Crew from flight deck gave good and
clear information. Unfortunately the baggage handling was less successful this trip. It took
ages before the luggage was on the belt.

AMS-HEL-AMS, B737-700 out and B737-300 on return. Outbound flight smooth, crew friendly and
efficient. There was a 20 minute delay on return, captain and crew did their utmost to ensure
passengers made their connections. We were diverted to land on a different runway at Schiphol
so we could make it to the gate quickly. I was impressed with their efforts to get us there
on time and, considering the onboard product, can't understand why KLM aren't a 4-star
airline. My gripe was the extortionate fare they charged for a two-night stay in Helsinki. I
really can't understand that fare structure these days.

AMS-ICN-AMS in B747combi. I'm 5'8" and I did not find the legroom tight at all, by my
colleague of 6'5" did struggle. There were plenty of drinks rounds and food wasn't too bad
for airline food. Crew pleasant enough. The only downside was IFE. On the outbound journey,
we were in a refurbished aircraft so each of us had our own TV screen with AVOD, which was
nice, but system was slow to respond and needed resetting a couple of times. The return flight
was an unrefurbished aircraft so we had to make do with the dirge of films on offer shown on
overhead screens. That aside, I don't think the KLM on-board product is bad at all. I had
the opportunity to visit KLM's new "economy comfort" section of the aircraft, and personally
don't think it was worth the extra money for 3" extra legroom and not much more recline.

Recently flew to Dallas from Manchester via Amsterdam with KLM and it was one of the best
flights to the USA we have been on. The service was excellent, staff very good, seating was
good, as was the food.

MUC-AMS-MUC, Embraer 190 and B737-300. Flights on time and cheap fare but that's all on the
positive side Amazing that the E190 has much more legroom than the tired B737-300 Crew on the
way back a little bit disorganised as they forgot to serve the small snack from a carton box
(like in a supermarket) for a complete row.
