    This was my first time flying on KLM and my first time in their amazing world business class cabin. I've flown first class on Delta and Alaska before but have not experienced anything like this. My parents are Delta SkyMiles members and KLM has an existing partnership with Delta, which is how we got these seats. We were on four different KLM planes during our two-week long journey to Europe - the first from Harry Reid (LAS) to Schiphol (AMS), the second from Schiphol to Budapest (BUD), the third from Glasgow (GLA) to Schiphol, and the fourth from Schiphol to Harry Reid. The first plane (LAS to AMS) was a Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner, which I've never flown on before, let alone having seen one in person for the first time just last year. We had full reclining seats, which was an extra plus since this flight would be 9 hours long. On this flight, we were given so many meals, so many drinks and snacks, and a free cute little Dutch house collectible with gin inside just before landing. The second plane (AMS to BUD) was a Boeing 737-800. This flight wasn't a very long one (1 hour and 55 minutes) so we had regular seats, with the middle seat blocked, and had a cold meal in their business class cabin. The cold meal, which was lunch, consisted of shrimp spaghetti, cashews, and macarons. The third plane (GLA to AMS) was a Boeing 737-700, which was pretty much the same as the second flight. This flight lasted about 1 hour and 10 minutes, which was mostly uneventful. The cold meal served, which was breakfast, consisted of eggs, yogurt, bran cereal, and a piece of bread. The fourth plane (AMS to LAS) was also a Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner. This flight lasted about 10 hours and 7 minutes, which ended up being the longest flight I've ever been on in my life. I had about three glasses of wine and a coffee on the flight home and didn't sleep at all (even with my seat fully reclined), leaving me seriously jet lagged and tired once we landed. Before landing, I got my second Dutch house collectible to put together with the first collectible I got on the first plane. Thank you KLM for an unforgettable experience! You and your crew made me feel welcome and I hope to fly with you again on my next trip to Amsterdam in the future.

    We flew from New Orleans, LA to Boston, MA on a different airline, then we had a transfer in Boston to KLM Airlines to Amsterdam, Netherlands. Unfortunately, we were stuck for almost 2 days in the airport due to the hurricane impacting travel to Boston. We had to call KLM 3 times to cancel and change our connecting flight. The KLM staff were so great and friendly, and even waived the change fee since we were stuck in the airport. We were so worried we were going to be stuck purchasing another flight, but KLM is the BEST! I will always make sure to fly KLM anytime I visit my family in EU. Also, the flight was wonderful! We were in Premium Economy, and it was really nice. The food was spectacular and the service was even better. We had the most beautiful and friendly flight attendant, Merel, who made our trip the BEST EVER. Enjoy our dinner and breakfast photos, and our lovely flight attendant!

    Yelp Review 2023 #85: Holiday travel can be a nightmare. Anything that can happen has happened during our holiday vacation: lost luggage, flight delays and cancellations, double-charging my credit card...through other airlines. I flew twice with KLM during the holidays and both experiences have been positive. Both flights departed on time and actually arrived to each destination early. They didn't lose my checked luggage. The food was pretty decent for airplane food. My favorite was the banana bread. I've flown KLM many times as a child. I've always remembered the flight attendants being pleasant. My last flight was no different. It was our co-pilot's last day flying a 737 so the pilot and flight attendants all wore a special shirt with his face on it and made an announcement before we deplaned. Flying has been awful since COVID. "Bus passengers buying flights" bringing their bus passenger attitude onboard aircraft at thousands of feet from the ground resulting in those disgusting viral videos of passengers acting a fool. Flying KLM was a breath of fresh air.

    This review is about the KLM Customer service area at Schipol. I've been here so often it's almost my home away from home. During COVID time they changed my ticket often due to various issues. They are always friendly and polite. I know the airport has had challenges in 2022, but it was not to blame of this KLM desk. Simply get a number at the front and wait for it to be called. I'm not a fan of the plastic splatter screen still there, but I don't blame them for keeping them. Kind of like a bank teller.

    Love flying KLM. I managed to upgrade at JFK so flew business class from JFK to AMS. The crew were so friendly and the food was good. Lots of drink options too. My only complaint was that I wished I was flying a few more hours to enjoy it all the more as I slept through breakfast!

    KLM in Amsterdam is great. Perhaps it is because it is their home field but the service is always friendly, efficient and great here. I am a fan. The last trip was super efficient. No lines, flight on time, smiling gate and flight staff...what's not to like.

    Yum??? Not But the flight team was the most accommodating and cordial crew of mindful airline professionals that I've ever encountered.

    As an airline, KLM tops all other competitors in terms of professionalism and customer valuation! Great flight crew! Very consistent. Very accommodating of all customers, and there are customers of all languages, races, nationalities, and cultures on KLM's flights, so yknow the great multilingual, smiling, dedicated KLM Team deserves much praise for being so steadfast in cordiality, customer care, and business skills! KLM just needs to update the entertainment system technology of some of its planes. Also, the meals taste not so good. I almost opened a window to toss out my err let's call it meatloaf. The courtesy blankets are quite cozy and convenient, and the pilots' takeoff, flying, and landing skills can't be bear! Update: Today's meal on the flight from Amsterdam was an upgrade from prior meals. A good hearty Italian bread and cheese and sauce meal - not pizza but close to. It was seasoned, hot, and cheesy! Guess KLM listened to the feedback! Seriously though, the airline really deserves applause. It's flight attendants, Captains, and co-pilots go the extra mile and truly deliver A-one quality service to first class, business class and economy too! In fact, the KLM Team is so wonderful, they make every passenger feel as if he/she is a first class patron!!!! I love KLM! Take some tips from KLM's style, all you other so-called top airlines!!!

    Here's something to keep in mind. I purchased an itinerary from Delta originating in the US and…read moreconnecting at Amsterdam on Transavia to Lisbon. But because Transavia is not a SkyTeam carrier, I was denied access to the KLM Crown Lounge. This, even though I am a Diamond Medallion (Delta's top tier elite), I'm flying Delta One (upgraded through certificates) and I have a SkyClub membership. So do not expect access to a lounge if you're on Transavia. So to solve this little dilemma, I reached out to Delta and did what's called a "Same Day Change" and switched over to the KLM direct flight. Now I'm sitting in the KLM Crown Lounge with a glass of wine, some snacks and a comfy seat with power and wifi. [Review 16552 overall - 70 in Netherlands - 62 of 2022.]

    During my Paris-Orly Fez flight, my suitcase was damaged: the zipper was broken and partially…read morejammed, making it impossible to use a lock, and the fabric above the zipper came loose and was then partially torn. These damages were observed under real conditions of use, particularly during my return flight on January 2, when the suitcase could no longer be properly closed or secured. Despite repeated exchanges and clear, factual evidence, the Baggage Claims Department maintained that the luggage was "functional." Describing as functional a suitcase that cannot be secured, whose zipper is blocked, and which exposes its contents to a real risk of opening or theft reflects an assessment disconnected from the actual experience of a passenger. My request was nevertheless limited, reasonable, and proportionate: coverage of the zipper repair costs, based on a quote or invoice, without requesting either a replacement or a full refund. This request was rejected, without any independent assessment or alternative solution being offered. Furthermore, I wish to clarify to other customers that Transavia's response provided to me in a private message was strictly limited to the following: "On my end, within customer service, I am unfortunately not in a position to take this matter any further." In other words, no solution, no intervention, and no concrete progress was proposed following this private exchange. The public response therefore gives the impression of active handling, whereas in reality no operational follow-up was provided on the case, despite a simple and proportionate request. In light of this rigid handling, the poor customer experience that resulted, and the many similar reports from other passengers, I simply wish future customers to have complete and accurate information. As such, I strongly advise against traveling with this airline in the event of a baggage issue, given the evident lack of consideration for the customer.

As of April 2026 they use the new EES system making international travel easier and faster. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in the airport which is a plus especially if you arrive early or have a long layover.

I have…read moreflown in via Las Vegas, USA and Helsinki, Finland and out both times back home to Las Vegas. The airport is gigantic. Flying in from a European country and getting your luggage and then out felt like it took nearly as long as flying in from the US and having to go through customs. The walk to the baggage claim from the FinnAir terminal was incredibly long and the baggage took what felt like forever. There are tons of restaurants and shops here. Unfortunately if you need to eat gluten-free, this airport really doesn't have options. They do sell the cheese that is for sale at all the gift shops around Netherlands here after security and at a cheaper price than many tourist shops and even the cheese factory itself in Volendam. Security and immigration are definitely a hassle here with their questions. Be prepared for Dutch bluntness. You have to be blunt right back with them. I had a new in box water filter in my carry-on because I went to a remote cabin in Finland for a week. Security tried to give me a hard time about why I had a water filter as if that's somehow contraband. Just be very direct to the point it comes across as rude (for Americans) when responding. I had a mini mental hair clip the size of my thumb print go off and I had to get a pat down and they almost made me take it out of my hair to get scanned. Some issue with the new European passport and fingerprint scan thing (EES) flagged me so I had to talk to immigration. Naturally the line for everyone who got flagged happened to be the immigration officer trainee line so it took 3-4x as long as the other immigration officer lines because staff was walking the trainees through what to ask and type. I was seriously worried I'd miss my flight. My husband didn't get flagged and had time to order food and eat it at a restaurant downstairs in the terminal, that's how long a passport check after security took. Flying in isn't bad but omg flying out is a hassle and you'll need to give yourself extra time with the new EES system implementation. Latest visit: June 2026

And unlike the first four times, I'm no longer a Diamond Medallion after a job change and significant downturn in my personal flying travel. This is how most passengers fly. My train to Schiphol was delayed so I didn't have time to hit up a lounge and I didn't have time to pick up anything along the way to the gate. It was a fast walk from the train platform, a priority queue at the ticket counter to check my bag (a ten day trip that was too big for a carryon plus two bottles of French wine), a rush through security and then more fast walking through terminals to the gate. I arrived in time to watch the Delta One cabin board. Fifteen minutes later, everyone was on the aircraft and the doors closed. It was organized chaos as too many passengers standing in the way ("gate lice") but the ground services team doing their best to keep an aisle clear. On board my Airbus 330, we pushed back on time, spent some time on the deicing pad, and then we were off on one of the closer-in runways (not the famous Polderbaan that seems halfway to London). On board service in the cheap seats was good from the flight attendants. We had drink services, lunch (I chose a decent cheese ravioli over a chicken curry hoping to avoid spilling it) and a light dinner (a cheese toastie). The wifi worked well, the power outlets worked well and while I didn't manage to sleep, I did get a doze in between movies on this ten hour flight. Improvements? Not much that's within the airline's control. The terminal could be roomier. The passengers could sit until it's time to board. Europe could be closer. Flights could be cheaper, I suppose.
