Last January, I flew Business Class onboard a @KLM Last January, I flew Business Class onboard a @KLM Royal Dutch Airline Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands to Cape Town International Airport in South Africa. KLM’s Dreamliners feature an excellent reverse herringbone 1-2-1 seat layout in Business Class, with interiors created by Hella Jongerius (a famous Dutch industrial designer). Swipe right for more photos ✈️ 

Founded in 1919, KLM is the flag carrier of the Netherlands and the oldest airline in the world still operating under its original name. It’s one of my favorite airlines in the world and I’ve always enjoyed flying with them. IMHO, KLM succeeds in differentiating itself from its competitors because of its fantastic cabin crew (which rank among the most friendly in the industry), its fabulous flagship lounge at Schiphol Airport, the incredible attention to details (e.g. innovative tableware, a designer amenity kit, menus created by a Dutch Michelin starred chef, etc …), complimentary onboard WiFi, and the Delft Blue miniature Dutch houses (filled with gin) which are offered as a souvenir gift at the end of each flight.

Have you ever flown with KLM? If so, what was your experience? Leave a comment
