Great article @Mattg

We flew KLM 777-200 HKG-AMS-HKG and although the older aircraft, really enjoyed all aspects of the flight and the crew on both flights were exceptional.
Wouldn't hesitate to fly with them again.

Wow, what a great flight! What was availability like on QFF? Did you have to plan/plot a long time ahead?

How did you get out of Suriname? Or is that another article?

I desperately tried to get on KLM revenue from AMS to the Caribbean but just couldn't make it work .

We flew AMS to KL on one of these planes. Best ever seat and great for sleeping.

I booked about four months out. There was a choice of a few dates across the month with Business availability via Qantas Frequent Flyer on the AMS-PBM route.

I flew out on Copa Airlines. There'll be another review coming soon about that flight.

Ugh. Have been trying to get pricing and availability for return flights next June.

Website kept erroring: "We're having trouble finding flight options that match your search. (#7190)" - I checked the dates, the route is flying those days.

Called; got overseas as a Plat (of course). After a LOT of faffing about, the agent came up with $851 taxes, then after a lot more tapping etc plus 75K points one way for the outbound, but "no seats on the return". Was that because there were no Award seats available, or no flight? "No flight". I knew that it was scheduled (its for sale on KLM website), but asked for the next day - yes, available.

So the 'taxes' almost doubled over what you paid, @Mattg . I tried to call back to check, but the line was unintelligible (interference) both times.

But now I've just checked the schedule again, and the revenue fares.

In business, PBM-AMS is $4K-$5.5K on the days I want to fly in late June, down to A$1654 for the last few days of June and A$648 in early July!! All B777-300, operated by KLM. Must be a website glitch. But very tempted to book revenue, right now!!

I was able to book online from AMS to PBM. Not possible to book online if you're starting the ticket in Suriname though, unfortunately.

The taxes you were quoted by the offshore agent sound incorrect. Might be worth trying to keep calling until you get Hobart or Auckland

Has anyone recently done the short KLM tag on flight from Bali to Singapore or vice versa?

We’re doing it over Xmas this year, was a very competitive business class fare. I’m just wondering how “complete” this experience will be on such a rather short flight. Surely we will be able to test out those new seats but else- food/drinks and are they hanging out those adorable cute ceramic houses or is this only on longer flights? If anyone knows, please post- thank you!

Gday @Berlin,
I flew KLM DPS-SIN in J in Dec22. (even had to get a whY connecting flight CGK-DPS with GA to try it out…)

Lounge in DPS was mediocre.



Even with the late hour of departure there was a full meal served and then during descent I was given a Delft Blue house. The guy seated beside me was continuing on to AMS so he didn’t get his on that leg.
