It was really nice journey i personally recommend klm flight

The crew were unprofessional with a racist element. I was physically abused as well from one of the crew members

Crew is not the cheerful type. very slow meal service (this is their style as have flown this many times)

Empty seats next to me - wish it had been for a longer flight!!

I’m grateful for the KLM Air France shuttle bus service to Ottawa. However due to construction and other issues related to the chaotic Uber pickup system at YUL, it’s a challenge to find the Kelios bus service to Ottawa. The signs are not clear or even available. No staff to guide passengers. It’s a stressful experience.

Delay on my previous leg, had to run to catch my flight. But that happens. Overall ok.

They forgot to serve food and the crew was very unfriendly. Never experienced such a bad KLM flight. Usually fly from Toronto. New York was different.

Couldn’t get boarding pass in SLC even with help from a redcoat, so had to find a desk in AMS to get boarding pass. Technical problems so not sure why. Very inconvenient. The KLM app is not as user friendly as most apps. Also had to wait almost an hour on the tarmac for a fuel truck, which caused us to miss a connecting bus in LUX.

The immigration hall in Amsterdam was understaffed, so passport checking was slower than it should be for a major airport. They need to get the automatic readers up and running for non EU passport holders. Waiting in line after a long flight feels a bit abusive.

Waiting area on top of stairs before Boarding the bus wasn’t great. Took a long time to load the bus to gate.

The real reason why the flying experience with Icelandair ---was mediocre was because of not being able to enter DC airspace yesterday evening. This obviously was out of your control and do realize this is a safety issue. I did notice---that everything was being done to get us to Washington Dulles and we did arrive at Dulles SAFELY with just a 4 hour delay. Thank you!

They wouldn’t check in my luggage even though I had one checked bag prepaid. So I took my bag to the gate and tried to check it in there and two employees scolded me for bringing a large bag to the gate. I told them I was trying to check it in and that it was prepaid, and they said they couldn’t guarantee that it would arrive at my destination but they finally let me drop it off when boarding the plane and pick it up right after exiting the plane. There was no food, and there was no entertainment.

Overall satisfied and would fly with them again. They could improve the check-in efficiency at BOS, we got backed up because it seemed there were passengers requiring much more time for check in.

The customer service was unbeatable from the wheelchair assist team to the flight attendants. The pilot also did an excellent job managing the turbulence.

Problems checking in both on the laptop and on the app. No free seating available at check-in as advertised - must pay for EVERY seat between $23 and $75. No way to cancel seat choice. App menus and site menus are not responsive, and some items are impossible to find. Crew and mobile assistance are friendly and helpful.

Again, we paid $ 328.00 for specific seats are were assigned those seats.

Never again. Terrible hospitality and human decency for an international flight. No food, no snacks, no beverages, blankets, pillows, limited entertainment. Tiny seats without any cushion and some do not even recline. I was shocked that they did not charge for seat belts. Never in my life have I witness asking for "spare change" for charity before landing on both legs of the flight. Icelandair can contribute on their own to said, so called, children's charity with the money saved from providing 3 centimeters of tea and water to hungry and dehydrated passengers.

Having been prepared for paying for everything on board other than water, coffee and tea the service was OK. Food and drink is expensive but the food was OK if limited in scope. Plane was clean and obviously well serviced. After complaining about having to walk in wind and rain to a get a bus to the airport the same thing happened at Portland. I’m sure you could get a terminal gate flight, complimentary food and drink for not much more money without traipsing through rain and slush in Reykjavik. Not bad but not great.

If there was a disclaimer regarding food service or lack thereof, l missed it. If l had known l would have prepared better. Same with transferring at Reykjavik. No information about disembarking via stairs into rain, slush and puddles deep enough to swallow a foot. After being treated to haute cuisine restaurants and warm inviting environment during the flight, the airport is, let’s be kind, disappointing. Plane was comfortable, Airbus, staff were welcoming enough. I would likely try the route again. Maybe have a night and day in Iceland. Maybe not.
