The flight itself it was great nice food the crew were very nice and helpful, Checking in from Birmingham wasn't great long queues for bag dropped, And I had my hand luggage case taken away from me even though I requested to have it with me as I had breakables items. I was told I can not because of the length of the flight with no explanation at all no options was given for me to take my fragile items out of my case it was taken away with hold buggage I find the staff member who was checking me in very unpleasant !! Can we please be advise if the rules have changed about the the carry on hand luggage it will be easier to be advise on booking your tickect if we not allowed to take the hand luggage with me. Overall I had a good flight .

The plane was clean and the staff was friendly. Food and drinks as expected on international flights. The entertainment system was old style, with a pullout controller, and selections not as extensive as on other flights.

The food quality is poor. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The entertainment program was limited. I experienced a delay of 30 minutes due to two issues. Passenger luggage had to be removed and there was a technical issue with the stairs not detaching from the aircraft. The pilot managed to compensate and we arrived only 15 minutes later. The luggage at Dubai airport was very slow. I waited over an hour.

The boarding was one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. The fault lays on Ohare Airport and not so much the airline. The waiting area by the gate was the size to accommodate a regional flight for 20-30 people and right next to a busy walkway. When you cramped nearly 300 passengers into that space is was unbearable.

Well, in my case; the flight was delayed 1 hour, we have to wait in the plane to get green light. And the plane (probably because was a short trip) did not have entertainment or WiFi. No a good experience.

The seats are too cramped in that plane. If you’re above 1,80m consider alternatives or first class I guess… There were no emergency exits to seat somewhere with more legroom

The Crew have no idea about the food they're serving the passengers. The Crew MUST be instructed before each flight about the menu that will be served to the passengers, whether the food is vegetarian or non-vegetarian, whether it is Halal, Kosher or not.

Boarding in NCL is really bad. I'm sure part of that is a directive from the airport that KLM can't change but part of that is due to KLM policy. NCL doesn't announce the gate of departure until 30 minutes before departure. However, when you arrive at the gate area, the gate agents file everyone into one long line and everyone boards from one line at one time. This line can stretch for 200m...easily. There is a separate line for groups 1 and 2 but you don't know it until you get to the gate area and agents don't announce/advertise it. Everyone else is grouped into one line. Are you in group 3? Doesn't matter...you board with group 5. Traveling with a child? Tough luck...you're stuck at the end of the line and board last. The last part is very annoying because none of the gates at NCL (with the exception of 1 used by Emirates) has a jetway. To board, you must leave the gate area, walk downstairs, walk onto the tarmac and walk up stairs to board the plane. Highly challenging if you're traveling with small children. That boarding process begs for a concession to allow people with children to board first because they will need extra time. But there is no such policy. Just a really horrible boarding experience all around.

Pros: Crew was great, on time flight, clean plane.
Cons: Entertainments options were shockingly few. Honestly have not been on a plane recently with so few and limited options of TV series and movies. I was extremely surprised. Wish I had know and I would’ve had more options for my family.Reviewed May 2021review from

Overview of KLM
As the oldest operating airline in the world, KLM is a deeply respected brand in the aviation industry. It began scheduling flights from its primary base in Amsterdam in 1919 and later grew to become the flag carrier of the Netherlands. It merged with Air France to form a holding company that has subsidiaries, which include Transavia, KLM Cityhopper and KLM Asia.
There is the option of traveling in either Economy, Economy Comfort or Business Class on KLM flights. Passengers are treated to ergonomically designed seats even in Economy, while Economy Comfort provides an additional 4 in of legroom and the luxury of being the first on the plane to disembark. Business Class seats on intracontinental Europe services offer more room to recline and either an aisle or window seat, while transcontinental trips provide a flatbed. An amenity kit created by renowned designer Jan Taminiau is also supplied.
A wide-reaching grid of flights travel to more than 65 countries across the globe. Services are available to every inhabited continent other than Australia. Some of the nations that feature a large number of destinations are China, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain and England. As a member of the SkyTeam alliance, round-the-world tickets and an even broader list of destinations are possible.
A combination of Airbus and Boeing aircraft are flown by KLM. The wide-body Boeing 777 series are some of the most commonly operated, with the 300ER model configured to sit in excess of 400 passengers. The standard livery is a white and light blue design; however, special planes celebrate the Dutch flag and 100 years of service.
