    I had to watch this after the 789 report. Thank you once more. I flew PH-BFA and PH-BFT in 1998, of course with the original layout and seats. Food seemed better than you have shown (hot breakfast, but perhaps for long haul?), but only overhead CRT monitors. Yourreport reminds me just how noisy the 747 cabin is - I have also flown MH 747.

    I have done this route few years back, It was on December 13, we left Toronto at 6 Pm and we got to Amsterdam at 6 Am. the service still the same. KLM is great airlines but they are falling behind on their services. 747 is still one of my favorite plane. great review.

    Brilliant Video mate. Very nicely put together. I was looking at this flight, but the problem was it was too expensive. I've found something cheaper for a trip to Toronto next year, just need to decide whether to book it or not. Your video has given me an insight into this route with KLM, so I'm going to double check their prices once more.

    • @PlaneSpottingBerlin
      @PlaneSpottingBerlin  5 років тому

      thank you!
      The flights to Toronto are generally pretty expensive...
      I took this flight in August - and prices where all around 1000€ round trip for just me...
      The dates I booked I payed about 670€ - which is horrendous when you know a much longer flight to LAX would cost you only 250-300€ return.

  • @Gameflyer001
    @Gameflyer001 5 років тому +1

    I took this flight over 5 years ago with one of KLM's combis (PH-BFE), and it was a decent flight. Your video showed that not very much has changed regarding the service, however, within that time period. I'd definitely want to try this flight again, but with some of their newer aircraft, i.e. the 789 or A332 (I wouldn't mind going on one of their non-combi 744s). Back then, I paid 50 Euros to upgrade to an emergency exit row for extra legroom (premium economy was offered on my flight for 100 Euros). I ended up flying on one of their MD-11s on the way back to Toronto two weeks later.

    • @PlaneSpottingBerlin
      @PlaneSpottingBerlin  5 років тому

      I also flew their 787-9 recently to Toronto. It was a good flight (video will follow).
      I missed the MD-11... I had the chance to fly on one to Toronto back then but went for the A330 instead.... now I regret it!

    • @Gameflyer001
      @Gameflyer001 5 років тому

      @@PlaneSpottingBerlin Fortunately, I managed to record my departure/arrival aboard the MD-11, and both are a couple of my earliest videos on the channel. I have to say that the MD-11 takeoff from AMS was perhaps one of my favourite to experience, especially since I ultimately only flew on that aircraft the one time, and not again since.

    I ride KLM B747 six years ago from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. And I really disappointed to Singapore airlines, I ride last month singapore airlines from Singapore to Seoul 6 hour 50 minutes flights, they only serve a hot meal, and before landing, they serve a cashews nuts. In this video, KLM serves a hot meal and a snack box on a 6 hour 30 minutes flights, I really dissatisfied my singapore airline flight last month. BTW I satisfied by your video!!!

    Hmm... If the only difference was more legroom and nothing else, I would say the Comfort was not worth it imo.
    SAS Plus is a better alternative, with more seat width and pitch, and a choice of what to eat... And the updated cabin is really nice. Only down side is that SAS does not oprate the 747 nor DreamLiner, wich is sad imo...

    • @PlaneSpottingBerlin

AirTransat and other airlines are more expensive than KLM, we bought tickets for this summer for a little over 3000 euro's which, in my opinion, isn't as bad compared to AirCanada for example.
