A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZKLM ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES
Economy ClassAmsterdam to Zurich
Breakfast: Mixed peanuts, 'rondo' cookie. "This was a 7.50 a.m. flight, and this is what KLM thinks a breakfast should look like. YUK."
Snack: Peanuts coated in 'Vietnamese' garlic/curry crust. "Very poor in comparison to the other carrier on this route (Swiss)."
Zurich to Amsterdam
Dinner: Slice of cake, peanuts. "Even more cost savings at the Royal Dutch Airlines: The bag of peanuts is getting smaller!"
Detroit to Amsterdam
Dinner: Spicy chicken with potato and green beans, salad, some kind of sponge cake with white wine "Excellent chicken and vegetables, very poor salad and dessert."
Dubai, UAE to Amsterdam
Breakfast: A cheese omelette, Dutch Frikadell, roasted potatoes, yoghurt, and fruit. Drink: choice of coffee, tea, or fruit juices "The omelette was tolerable, the potatoes were a touch soggy, but the frikadell was excellent. Interestingly, KLM appears to be using stainless steel knives on all flights other than those to and from North America, which I find highly commendable. Plastic is appalling."
Muscat, Oman to Dubai, UAE
Midnight Snack: Mini-kebabs with pasta, tomato & cheese sandwiches; dates and two Arab pastries for dessert "Considering the airtime between Muscat and Dubai is less than 40 minutes, managing a hot snack with full beverage service is quite a feat. Within 10 minutes of takeoff everyone on the 767 had been served and the garbage was collected 10 minutes before landing! As for the food itself, the kebabs were quite tasty and the pastries were first-rate, as they usually are in this part of the world. The pasta was okay, but I'm no fan of such things after midnight."
Hamburg to Amsterdam, KLM City Hopper
Evening Snack "Nice sandwiches, Apple Pie, Champagne, Baileys, Coffee, funny young crew, great!"
San Francisco to Amsterdam
Breakfast "This was a strange meal, perhaps intended to be a brunch. It consisted of broccoli, and what was described to me later as a soufflé, some tater-tot like spuds, and a bizarre creamed mustard sauce. The yoghurt and bagged pastry were much welcomed additions. I guess I was supposed to put the jelly & butter on the bagged pastry?
Dinner: "This was a typical chicken and potatoes dinner with a micro-salad and a nondescript spice (?) cake dessert."
