An accurate assessment of KLM. I have been flying KLM for 40+ years when KL DC8.63's were plying the Atlantic. KLM have always been rated above average for the inflight experience
Fun fact @8:00.. when look a bit away from the runway you see kind of hills. These are artificial created "ribbons" . These are created to eliminate a part of the low frequence sound of the engines when the taxi. This to the benefit of people living in the area.
I just realised, all these years of flying in/out/through Schiphol, I don't know what it looks like from the outside. I've always headed down to the lower level to grab the train to Centraal, or arrive via the same route. I'd imagine that taxi cost you a fortune, but if you had so much luggage, it was probably still more convenient.
It's a beautiful airport. I forget how much the taxi was, but you're right - it was incredibly convenient. If traveling solo I probably would have taken the train from Centraal too
Assuming you weren’t filming, would you still have gone for 1A instead of 1C? I normally go for 1D or G on the 2-2-2 Boeing 777 KLM layout, but they’re taken, so if I want that extra leg room on an 11-hour night flight I either have to go for A or C.
Nice video! I'm taking the 777 to AMS on my way to GVA in August so I love watching these videos. And to answer your question, I'd prefer to not emergency land at all! 😄
The lounge food in Amsterdam was meh except for the cheese, of course (at least that same location, anyway) but I loved being able to take a shower before my flight to London-City. - Red
I've never flown Business Class, But considering my first business class flight this year. Between KLM and Air France, Which do you think I should go for?

You’re doing a great job so far on the reviews. Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to your next video.
Thanks for stopping by David!! And appreciate the kind words
Yes just wonderful....

That’s awesome!!! Never knew that, leave it to the Europeans to come up with a cool and highly practical topographical engineering feature!
If the runway is wet, the pilots place the aircraft slightly harder than the soft touch to prevent aquaplaning.

Hi . At 7:20 you were showing an App. What is called ? Thank you in advance.
It’s called ForeFlight - it’s more intended for pilots (I use it flying GA) but you could definitely buy it for personal use too!

Just booked mine. Had to go out of my way, leave Toronto a bit earlier to make sure I catch the 787-10 with their private 1-2-1 configuration.
Love it! Jealous that you'll get the new product - have a great trip
@@flaps1019 will let you know how it goes :)

That sounds awesome - have fun and safe travels!

Quite nice video and super amazing scenes of Greenland, I would love to have an emergency landing in Greenland ❤
easy choice - rather an emergency landing in Greenland instead of ocean/water landing - the USAFB in Greenland has a runway, the ocean doesn't
Haha love it
I've never flown Business Class, But considering my first business class flight this year. Between KLM and Air France, Which do you think I should go for?
You should go for it - try to get Air France's new 777-300ER biz class seats with doors if you can! I believe they're flying between Paris and NYC
@@flaps1019Thank you for the suggestion, Definitely going to try get that flight 😁

Which app did you use to measure the speed of the train ?
Good question - I believe it's called "Speedometer Simple" on the App Store
3:09 = That's some Bunda'sliga
What iPhone app to check the speed ?
There are tons of free apps out there - I use one called Speedometer Simple
