    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.

    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.

    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.

    Flown on both recently for work - Service is better than the likes of BA or Easyjet, who I find as being comparable. On a longer flight from Schipol to Bristol on KLM, it was nice to be served a sandwich, crisp and drinks. Likewise, I flew from Lyon to Nuremberg with Air France and was only given pretzels and a drink. It just depends on how far your hop is. I had a 30L rucksack and steel toetector boots and had no issues in any of the two cases. For European short haul flights, it's a case of convenience. We regularly fly KLM out of Bristol since Schipol is well connected and saves the faff of having to get to LHR or LCY.

    In some KLM flights, you would get sandwiches too, but I’m guessing you just got a snack because it’s a shorter flight. You would also be able to get a soft drink if you want, but I live in Poland so the flight to Amsterdam is longer which might be why I get more options for drinks and a bigger food portion

    Also nice to know is that KLM is the oldest airline in the world operating under the same name since founding it in 1919.
    I have worked for KLM as a Flight Attendant and I think it is worth to mention that it is also the best employer I have ever worked for (so far). Even during COVID they handled it well. No one was forced to leave. People have left off course, but they left with a sum of money. Because a lot of elder employees left voluntarily, no one was laid off. The temporary contracts where however ended, but many returned after the pandemic with the same terms and conditions as before COVID. Before someone asks.. I have left without pay after COVID and only because I wanted to study and become a nurse and paramedic. Even then they handled everything wonderfully. It is a big airline with over 30K in employees and I have never have felt like a number.
    So not only nice for its patients! @klm #klm

    In Europe, you don't have to take your shoes or belts off during security unless you get double-inspected. And in LHR, they let you refill your bottle for free.

    KLM/AF is the same group. Actually KLM did a bit better in the past without AF, but those were also different times.
    I find the airplanes and interior of KLM to be comfortable but uninspiring. The good things about KLM are the service and the fact that they still hand out free drinks.

    The comparison is a bit skewed because London to Amsterdam is an extra-EU & extra-Schengen flight, while Amsterdam to Paris is almost a domestic flight as it is intra-EU and intra-Schengen.
    Plus, certain drugs are allowed in the Netherlands, and the Paris Brussels Amsterdam corridor is considered high threat by authorities, so it's pretty normal for the security filter to be more thorough.
    Was the lounge Air France proper? Or KLM with an Air France sticker?
    The AMS CDG route is usually mostly used by people connecting on to intercontinental flights at either CDG or AMS rather than point to point travelers (there's the Eurostar, former Thalys high-speed train for that), so the route is essentially a bus of the sky where Air France, or KLM, put their basic cabins.
    It's usually where you can find the oldest cabins in the fleet, just like on the shuttle domestic network for Air France.
    (KLM doesn't have domestic flights, simply because there's no longer any domestic flights in the Netherlands).
    A more proper comparison would have been AMS LHR vs CDG LHR, as they both would have the same status, both departing from their home home hub airports.
    Testing Air France from AMS, which is KLM home base, is testing a bit of KLM too, as AF's cleaning crews and other services in AMS are in fact normally KLM's since they both are parent companies.

    Another bonus for KLM is that the co-pilot of a flight might actually be H.M. the King of the Netherlands.

    I probably won't be heard, but can you try "Finnair" versus any European Airline? Finnair is seen as a good or great European airline, but it's overall mixed reviews. I really want to see the experience, thanks!
