Yo dude! Been a fan for a long time now, and I loved this vid like always! I have a suggestion: Maybe next time you could show us the routes earlier on in the video? That way we know what the flight info is before you being on the plane. Thanks! ❤
Love the fact that you gave KLM another shot, i´m Dutch myself and i flew them once and i had a great experience with them, i also flew air France once, both comparable, also the wifi on air France was more expensive because KLM was for 2400 miles and for air France 3000 miles.
I havent flown either of these airlines but it was interesting to see how they compared to eachother! Also its nice seeing how lounges look since i never go lol😂😂
This is what happens when an ignorant average youtuber for the mass crowds makes a video on airlines, full of inaccuracies especially noticeable to someone like me (I am an expert in the aviation industry). KLM isn't a "rival" of AF in any way, they are actually very close competing partners and subsidiaries of the AF/KLM Group (of which Air France is the major airline). Also, the service onboard KLM isn't passive aggressive, as they announce that on all flights, and it's not about you. Even on my KLM flights they made the same announcements. The world doesn't revolve around you. Seats were better before (these are new and renovated). (Wi-Fi isn't even pricey). European security is generally amazing, it's not luck, just simply the norm. AND the Air France aircraft isn't older than the KLM one, and it's actually way better. Arrivederci.
Hi Eric, you’re pretty lucky to get a ride in an A318! It’s pretty rare these days, also that plane stopped producing around 10 years ago so maybe that’s why the legroom and seat isn’t that great.
Hey mate, KLM do that announcement on every flight. KLM crews are really good and always friendly. You must try Finnair Business Class on their new seat.
KLM is also doing full drinks service if the flight is long enough (I guess like 1h minimum). On very short flights they only serve you water and chips
Surprised you're complaining about the announcement about not filming fellow passengers three times (and I'm only halfway through the video) and yet you film passengers on your way to the bathroom without blurring faces...
Not to worry KLM usually makes the announcement on filming/photos/recording. It wasn't targeted at you, no ill intent I assure you. Also, because of the extremely short flight between London and Amsterdam you only get the water and a snack. On flights that are a little longer (like the AF flight you took), KLM will also cater a sandwich and a variety of beverages.
As someone who flowed klm im never riding it again so i was layovering in Amsterdam from Glasgow the flight arrived late and then our plane to lisbon was BORDING and if you have a child under 14 you have to go in the longer line the airport is huge and the runways were closed and we almost missed our flight but sence the plane arrived late they didnt have time to get all the luggage off so me my mom my dad and 18 other people luggage's got lost in Amsterdam it almost ruined our Europe trip (im American)
Nope! The AirFrance KLM Group owns both of them. The AF-KLM group is owned by AirFrance and KLM... AF doesn't own KLM since the AF-KLM group is owned by both! ;)
@@bioappelsapjeAF used to have more shares in KLM then KLM had in AF until the merge happend and both companies were 100% owned by the holding company. However ex-AF shareholders and France state has dominant shares in the group over ex-KLM SH and netherland state. Even if its legally innacurate to say AF owns KLM, AF is dominant in the merge
I will say that Air France is better because I am French, they have a much more diversified fleet, Boeing, Airbus, Embraer and CRJ. and it offers more destination.
KLM is probably the airline I've flown the most on, and I really like it. But earlier this year I was on my way home from Bologna, and I was going to Amsterdam because it was a connecting flight. When we were boarding we were told we had to go back into the airport because of an "issue". Then, 40 minutes later, we boarded again. When we were fully boarded, the pilot said that he "thought" one of the wheels didn't have any air left, so he called someone to check it. The person checking the wheel wasn't in the airport, so that took a long time. When they arrived, they said there was nothing wrong with it. So that was just a waste of time. I barely got my connecting flight. The pilot even had to say that the person travelling to ____ (Where I was going) had to leave first, so everybody that wasnt going to ____ had to sit down (nobody followed that rule). Oh, and I've also never experienced so much turbulence. The guy behind my seat was holding on my seat like he was about to die. Btw I managed to get on the connecting flight, I just had to run.
Also, you shoudl definitely check out the PUJ / MDPC lounge, it is kind of small but great quality, you could fly directly from there or from SDQ / MDSD with Iberia and Air Europa to Madrid. I have a trip to Spain due to some family member getting some medical treatment so we want to be there, we are currently jumping between these two. Great vid btw!!!!
Hi, the KLM announcement about not filming or photographing other passengers or crew is a standard one since several years. I hear it every time I fly with them, and it is not directed personally.
Here’s a fun fact: You flew on an Airbus A318 with Air France. It’s one of the most difficult planes to fly on as only 80 were built and only 10 remain in commercial service.
Being honest, the only way to compare 2 airlines, you should fly to the same destination, and If possible with the same aircraft. Such as AMS-DXB with KLM and DXB-CDG with AirFrance.
as someone who flew with both airfrance and klm this year (DUB-AMS-NRT with KLM and HND-CDG-DUB with air france) klm is much much better. the service on the klm flights was the best I've ever had. the seats were comfy and the food was amazing. the layover and transfer was also quick and easy too and the staff were very helpful. The only thing airfrance did better was the ife
They didn’t got on the com to give you a sneaky attack for the camera, it’s standard procedure for KLM and they announce this every flight. I live in the Netherlands so I fly allot with KLM hahaha.
What airlines should I fly next?
Emirates Or Etihad
qutar
Jet2
SAS vs British airways
singapore air

KLM and AF are not competitors but they actually work together in the KLM AIR FRANCE group.

True. Transavia (KLM's lowcost airline) does it as well.
Virgin Atlantic and BA do it as well.

5:43 KLM flight attendants always say that after safety demo so it's not toward you.
Can you make LOT vs lufthansa pls😥
Your the best Eric
the reason your legroom on air france was tighter is cuz you were flying on their airbus a318 which is a very small plane and on your other flight on klm you were on their 737-800 which is bigger
yeah, the a318 is the smallest boeing/airbus plane in existence, so yeah
It’s an a319
Hi at klm it’s a standard texti line during the safety demonstration. Please do not take it personally. Kind regards.
I really thought what was "AF" then i was like "Oh, Air France"
Bro thought it was as f-
as freaking
Not a hate comment but i just wanted to say that is not even worth noting that the flight was only delayed by 15 minutes.
14:10 Cant stop laughing on the "Which we wont be needing cuz this is not a Boeing" 😆

They are sister airlines as they are owned by the AirfranceKLM group which also owns Transavia
ya but theyre still separate
I’m also pretty sure they both is skyteam
Airfrance better
Yep. AF and KLM are part of Skyteam, which has Delta, Korean Air, and those airlines and more.
