Flights from California to North Holland: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from California to North Holland

If you want to get into a lounge, I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time if you can. Otherwise, you have to get there, scan some code and then get in a queue. Everywhere you go you have to wait. Just be ready for that.

Better stay up the night before tire yourself out before or you will have trouble sleeping on the plane, since you are taking off at 3pm local time but arriving around midnight origin time and morning at the destination.
DiamondFlew with Delta-Jan 2024
Put some media on your phone and iPad...the wifi worked on the way there but not the way home...its finicky (unless u pay for it). There aren't that many options for the player in front of you. Also bring your own headphones with the appropriate jack that can plug in, they may not have one for passengers for free. Food is good but they may run out of what you want.

Had to cancel and rebook, KLM connection was cancelled prior to departure, ended up flying to Munich on non-Delta carrier.

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

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.

Over 1 Hr delay. No APU so no AC on ground. Plane was hot during boarding and then they closed the doors over 20 minutes before engine start so interior of plane was steamy hot and stuffy. Could have been helped by opening doors until ready to depart.

My flight was delayed by 6 hours then I missed BOTH of my connecting flights, I then had to stay in the AIRPORT at JFK because soooooo many people also suffered from missing flights and there was no hotels available. I would like to be compensated for this experience! I had to stay in the airport for over 16 hours!

Cabin crew were excellent, very proffesional, polite and friendly, in flight snack was underwhelming, a packet of cheese biscuits, im sure KLM could run to a sandwich!

Overall very positive. Boarding was quick and organized. Cabin was clean and seats were reasonably comfortable. Cabin crew was excellent and the meals provided were also of good quality

Seats were comfortable crew members support was very good but AVML ordered or selected by us needs a lot of improvement.

The IFE was quite old, but it worked fine and the content was good. The cabin crew were excellent and the food was as also very 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.

Everything was great. The only thing that wasn’t was the breakfast calzone which was basically warm bread. It was very tasteless and wasn’t good at all

The flight was freezing cold. I had on pants and a sweatshirt, had to wrap up in the blanket provided AND put on my rain coat, and was still chilly. Have never been on such a cold plane.

The plane is old. There was water dripping fown from the air cooling system. The toilets were mot that clean

Everything worked smoothly, never had a concern with the flight from start to finish.

Everything was great. The only issue is unfixable. Seats are too small. 😁🤪

Boarding was good. The flight was on time ( arrival was 20 minutes early). Inflight service was average ( US airlines have not mastered the skills of customer service yet). The food was mediocre. “ breakfast “ was downright awful and insulting. It was a piece of dough with mon descript filling that was supposed to be cheese omelette).

The airport was reasonably clean. The boarding process reasonably efficient. The cabin crew was efficient, polite but not that friendly. The food quality was unremarkable and the choices were awful . There was either a so so chicken dish or a “ vegetarian “ option which was really cheap carbohydrates drowned in cheese. Signing onto i flight wifi was not straightforward. Overall it was a very average experience

Nothing special. The crew never went out of their way for anything.

I want to single out flight attendant Mitch who was in the Premium Economy section. When my wife’s hearing aide dropped through the cushion under the seat he was able to locate it and return it to her. Food was a different matter. Dinner was fine. Breakfast was another matter. They had a yogurt dish that the ran out of and the alternative was not very good according to those we talked to.

Flight was delayed long enough that I was misding my connecting flight. The agents could not get me on a comparable flight, nor could they get me s Main Cabin seat I had paid for, nor could they get me on a comparable connecting flight. The gate agent would not issue meal vouchers, even though I was delayed over six hours! I had to spend over an hour and 15 minutes with customer service on the phone to See if they could get me on a better flight and get a meal voucher. Customer service was not helpful enough in trying to find alternate flights and it Ended up taking me 24 hours for a 12 hour trip!! Delta does not provide upgrades NOR will they even give you a pass for a few hours to their lounge. They claim that they do not issue daily passes to their lounge anymore. I call BS since this would be no extra cost to them to provide excellent customer service and give you a few hours to relax in comfort when you’re sitting in a crowded airport and your flight has been screwed up for that many hours.

A short two hour flight, no food, but good assortment of drinks. The seats are a bit

The crew was very helpful and friendly. Food was good. The only issue was the legroom -- not great. The seat in front is also too close to see the entertainment screen properly.

The first flight was delayed. We missed the second flight, which was rebooked 9 hours later. We missed all our arrangements for the first day of vacation.

Terrible airlines, kept lying to me about the fact that my connection flight was cancelled. Left me hanging until last min. NEVER AGAIN

Cancelled flight, wasn't refunded paid selected seats. Poor customer service. Called airline and they didn't realize the flight was cancelled until several hours after the email notice was sent.

5 of my 7 pieces of luggage are missing and they cant call to find out where it is. I have to fill out a form and wait for them to mail it to me in several days (if they find it). That does not work for my travel itinerary. I need my full ticket cost refunded please.

Fantastic. The only thing - out of my six luggage one was lost in Copenhagen, however it was delivered Home 3 Days later so all great..

Amazing! Everyone was so nice and the food was so good!!

Would be nice if the front toilets could be used by everyone.

Much better, not their fault but my plane was so delayed causing me to have to take this airline rather than my earlier connecting flight

Awful customer service. What you are told 100% depends on who you talk to.

Food was mediocre, but as expected in economy class on an airline. Wrap was ice cold , my son’s served by a steward on the next aisle was warm . As expected, but at least heat the food up a bit. No frills, but it’s economy. Excellent free WiFi was a bonus

The check in and boarding process was smooth, and the flight was fine.

Overall good experience. But seats were small and uncomfortable for the price. Good entertainment, staff friendly and attentive.

This was the smoothest flight I've ever taken with any airline, including Aer Lingus. Typically, there are moments when I feel afraid, but from take off (miraculously seamless!) to cruise, to landing this was a perfect flight. Thank you!

On a four hour delayed flight now on seats back end of the plane instead front-

The crew was friendly. The plane was comfortable. In-flight wifi didn't work well at all. The ride was quite turbulent but understandable given the weather.

Punctual, smooth flight. Crew excellent and cabin very clean. Paid for WiFi but once you close out you cannot get back in even if you paid for entire flight.

Loved it! Best airline to fly with. Nice crew, good planes, good food!

Nice easy flight. Crew was very nice and of all the times I have bought a seat for my guitar - this was the easiest. They were prepared and no problems at all.

I have been flying united for a long time but now I’m done

Delayed - leaving, delayed getting to the gate at destination. What should have been a very easy flight and experience was not.

Better management of the boarding process. Is there any way you could forward all the window seats first? That's the Way Reno Air used to do it, and they had the fastest boarding in the industry!

Wifi is very frustrating - could not connect and therefore unable to work on the trip

Flight was over two hours late, but they notified us early in the morning. They ended up changing planes the food on board that was extremely mediocre and we were in premier class.

We were delayed because of ground crew, not because the plane wasn’t ready to go. The food was better than usual!

The flight was very good. Only complaint was that the usb charging connection did not work for either me or the seat next to me so we both had to use our own portable battery to charge our phones. I also liked the fact that I could purchase Wi-Fi for an hour instead of for the entire flight.

United ground crew and pilots are friendly. The in-flight staff (flight attendants) are the worst in the world. Multiple trips, always unpleasant, combative, use implicit threats to not allow for a discussion on their decision. Authoritarian. This seems to stem from an internal corporate wide policy as I doubt that United is intentionally searching for people that are not fit for customer facing positions. I will not fly United again. Good luck fixing your business

Boarding with facial recognition was NOT quicker than with traditional boarding passes.

We bought premium economy tickets first, and then paid additional upgrade fees to get business Polaris class seats on the SFO to Amsterdam segment. This was our first time flying Polaris class on United. We were completely disappointed. The service level was sub par compared with Turkish Airlines and China Airlines business class. There were multiple flight attendants attending to us, and all were not attentive and not helpful to guests. They seem to keep a safe distance and not offer to provide much service to us. We did not feel we were in business class at all. No special treatment or attention. The food service was equally disappointing. We had to make several choices for entrees since they were not sure we could get our first choice. There was no explanation of the menu offering, and they expected us to know what we want when they came and ask for food selection. All in all, very disappointed in United Polaris Business Class service. They are very far behind their European and Asian counterparts. Would not travel again with United Polaris.
