KLM is my favourite airline. Never ever let us down.Staff are first class.
The plane. Airbus A330-200. Comfortable for a 7-hour flight. Seats seemed to have more legroom. I was in row 17. Flight was operated by Delta but was better than expected.
Quick and efficient as always. Air France managed to loose and damage my luggage that never made it onto my KLM flight.
The food from Lagos to Amsterdam was was very poor compared to AMS-YYZ
Seats are fair enough for medium tall people. Good food all the trip. Fight attendances are warm
I thought KLM was the best airline but the Lima - Amsterdam was 1 hours late, the Brussels - Amsterdam was 2.30 hours late and the Amsterdam - Lima was 30 minutes late
no issues at all... Kudos to the food. This time was really really good
Overall a good experience. We were disappointed when we had to check our carry on due to the plane being full. KLM hadn’t notified us and we had valuable items in the carry on but they still made us check it. Some of the food was great and some was mediocre. Crew is really kind and funny.
Mostly fine. Minor delays departing and arriving. Quite a cramped plane, not so much as regards legroom but very narrow seats. Quiet nice food. Non-working USB charger. Flight attendants were helpful but not particularly proactive — one had to work to get their attention (but all was fine once they notice you), very Dutch style:)
Seats were great. Business class service has been cut entirely, not even a water handed out
Excellent crew. Three problems need to be taken care of: 1. Lack of wi-fi during the flight. This prevents busy traveller's from working while onboard. 2. Why there were two very-slow security check points was more punishment that necessary. Went through thorough security at transit area, the an even slower one at Gare 19!!!! Why passports needed to be checked st least 5 times by 5 different people makes no sense. Additionally, passengers were crammed like sardines in a boarding area with no charging ports that work!! This was a boarding nightmare. 3. During my flight (seat 27C) the headset socket did not work. Watched one movie, but very difficult because of that. Had to keep my fingers on the socket for it to work!
Food was awful and the seats were bad. No privacy in business class with the seat next to someone. 15 hours without WiFi!!!
Staff and service on board is always exemplary. Food however could be better.
Great staff. Horribly uncomfortable seating. The seats have been replaced 10 years ago. It was like sitting on an ironing board for 15 hours. This was true for both legs of the round trip flights. Would not take Kenya Airways between New York and Nairobi ever again.
Seriously one of the most disappoint experiences I have ever had when flying. My flight got delayed FIVE hours. Nobody wanted to help at the airport (“this is Kenyan booking, we cannot do anything”). I got on the phone with someone from Kenyan for one hour until he finally moved my ticket to a Delta ticket. Then the painful journey restarted - the Delta crew in land kept saying there was no other flight and ai had to wait. An agent called Gerard Robert was being so sarcastic I felt humiliated. He would say things like “you say you understand what I am saying but you are not understanding what so am saying”. I asked him to please speak in a less sarcastic tone and he said “I am not going to speak with you anymore, go find someone else”. These were his words. Tired, after 14 hours in a plane, I just wanted to cry. I looked for another agent, who was an angel and rebooked me to another flights. Thanks to her, I made it to my meeting in Washington-DC. I am going to send a formal complaint to Delta about agent Gerard Robert. It is not fair to speak with customers in that cynical, sarcastic tone. If one works in customer service, it ia important to mind that tones can make people feel humiliated. And turning the back to a customer by saying “Go find someone else” can’t be part of his training.
I almost missed my flight because my previous flight (Mombasa- Nairobi, also Kenyan airways) landed in a different terminal. There was no signs whatsoever, no information shared. It felt messy. If the flights are purchased together, like mine, there has to be indications on how to board to the following one.
The cabin is due for a refresh - the seats are very thin and not very comfortable. The AVOD system also did not work on one of the seats and the touch screen were very glitchy. The overall cleanliness of the aircraft could be improved
Food was great. They never to add more current entertainment like movies and shows
Paid an extra USD 100 for so-called Comfort seats. All of these (the bulkhead seats) had parents with babies and infants who were screaming much of the time. One mother even decided to change nappies on the seat. This was anything but comfort!
Numerous delays, missed connections flight. Then connection flights were late as well
Boarding was haphazard after people with small children or walking difficulties
2 hours late. Charged me for luggage despite my being star alliance gold. Inflight entertainment didn’t work after I paid for it. Boarding took forever. Shoddy work you guys.
I am not taking Lufthansa next time. Everything is delayed, food quality was so bad. Baggage was the worst.
Missed our flight to London and we were put on coach seats to Munich.
Seats were terribly uncomfortable! Couldn’t sleep! I paid for good seats when scheduled with Lufthansa, got crappy mid-section seats on Air Canada!
No refreshments apart from a bottle of water. No pillows. No entertainment. Flight delayed by 52 minutes.
Flight was very late, meaning a missed connection in Frankfurt, and staff completely unhelpful or just absent. Handicap accommodations, reserved in advance, somehow never made it through the system for the second trip in a row!
Poor, we had 1 hour to grab our checked luggage, go through customs, recheck bags and run across terminals to make our United flight. Poorly planned connections.
The seats are much too narrow and the arm rests are hard and awkwardly high, resulting in shoulder cramps. I am an average sized person ( definitely not overweight). The seats are a similar size to car seats with the added discomfort of incorporating hard plastic arm rests, that force average height individuals (I'm 5 ft 7 (f)) to hold their arms uncomfortably for several hours. The seats are much too close to the ones in front and behind making it extremely difficult to allow fellow passengers to get out, especially when the seat in front is declined. The leg room also necessitates knees banging into passengers backs for the entire flight. This used to be a quality airline who now offer mediocre service for premium cost, coupled with charging exorbitant prices for basic needs, like a seat, or luggage. Blatant and unabashed gouging of clients.
The terminal for this flight, 4S, was INSANE. So many Iberia desks, and it wasn't clear which ones were for which destinations. When I checked in, I asked if I could check my bags to LAX, my final destination, but was told no because my next flight was with another company--I would have to gather my luggage and then deposit it again in London. Annoying, but okay. Then I went through Security, where I was asked to open my luggage, berated for having water (which I offered to throw out), and just generally hazed. After Security, I went up and down countless escalators and then boarded a tram, which literally went miles. Following the tram, there was ANOTHER escalator and ANOTHER line, this time for passport control. At 10:25, I told officials there that I was on a 10:40 flight, but nobody seemed concerned. So after clearing passport control, I RAN all the way to the gate, where my boarding pass was scanned, and then ran along the gangplank. At this point, I expected to board a plane, but what I encountered was a STAIRWELL, with steep stairs leading downward. Astoundingly, I didn't see any elevators or escalators. I lugged a suitcase, large bag and jacket down three to four flights of stairs, expecting to board an aircraft at the end, only to encounter a bus outside. After all the hoops we passengers had just jumped through, I was floored by this. And because the bus driver was waiting for other confirmed passengers, the rest of us were standing on the bus for at least ten to 15 minutes. Once the bus FINALLY set off and then dropped us at the plane, which was sitting way out on the tarmac, we all had to cart our luggage and bags up ANOTHER steep set of stairs onto the plane. In 100-degree heat. Parched from the physical marathon I had just endured, I was thinking that once we were in the air, the flight attendants would pass out water. Instead, they went down the aisle asking if anyone wanted to order and pay for a drink, but they never asked me or many others if we wanted anything—they picked and chose passengers to ask. I raised my arm to try to get their attention, as I was desperate for some water, but they were avoiding almost all eye contact with the passengers. So I arrived in London completely dehydrated. Then I went to baggage claim. After waiting for about 20 to 30 minutes for my bags and not seeing anything that resembled mine, I started looking at my phone. That's when I saw an email from Iberia saying that there had been an incident with my luggage, and that my luggage had not made the flight, even though I had done the Madrid baggage drop in good time. Also, if I hadn’t checked my email, I don’t know how I would have found out that my luggage was missing, because there weren’t any reps at baggage claim. When I spoke to the Iberia representative about it, she said that the luggage would be arriving on another Iberia flight at 3:00 p.m. that day, but I was scheduled on a Virgin Atlantic flight departing London at 3:45, so picking up my luggage at 3:00 p.m. and rechecking it wouldn't be an option. After everything that had already happened that day, this was really disappointing. I didn't see my luggage again for two days. Honestly, it was just such a bad overall experience that I can't imagine flying Iberia again. And it was surprising, because earlier in the trip, I had been on the Renfe high-speed train from Barcelona to Madrid, which was a really good experience, so I had high expectations for Iberia. This could have been an aberration, but since it has been my only experience with Iberia, it is my only reference point.
Delayed our luggage going to Croatia and delayed our luggage coming back from Croatia. Not very good service.
Terrible - worst airline on the plant - flight delayed; misses connection - no effort to accommodate an alternative schedule. Had to fight for a food voucher. Put us up in a one star hotel that was an hour plus bus ride from the airport. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Was downgraded from Premium Economy to Economy and no indication of any compensation.
We were never contacted that our flight from Glasgow to London was delayed. Got to airport six hours early to find that we were going to miss our connecting flight to BWI. Our flight is scheduled for two days later and they only gave us a voucher for one night hotel. E we’re delayed on the front end too and had to fly to Edinburgh instead of Glasgow arriving six hours and taking a $200 cab!
It took an hour and a half for luggage to be dlivered in London
We were seated in the rear of the plane. Buses arrived to take us to the terminal but there weren’t enough so we waited an hour to leave the plane.
The 7 hour delay in Johannesburg was extremely tiresome, with poor communication at check-in and a sad R120 voucher as compensation. All in all sitting for 10 hours on an airport was pretty bad. At arrival the baggage arrival took 2 hours. All in all, a very, very long trip.
Chicago to London flight was delayed an hour . Boarding process was slow . I missed my connection to New Delhi and My connection from New Delhi to Ranchi. Now come the really outrageous part! There was a flight from London to Bangalore that would have allowed me to reach Ranchi on time. I was about to but ticket from Bangalore to Ranchi when BA agent came back after talking to someone in back office and informed me that she cannot rebook me to London Bangalore flight as Bangalore was TOO FAR fro. Delhi. I waited 8 hr in London airport. I was flying business. Hope this review helps the airline. I was not asking for any money back for my missed flight. Anand Mohan
