No choice of food. Needed to pay more even for a can of coke!!!

The seats were really close together and hard to get comfortable. The food was okay. The cheese was amazing! I loved the cold towels they gave us.

When my flight was changed from delays they were quick to rebook me.

I really enjoyed how clean and big the aircraft was, as well as how friendly the crew was.

Airline left me stranded in the U.S. gave me an unrequested refund of 40% of booking and canceled my trip back! When I asked why, the said “we don’t have to tell you why”. “But you can rebook”. Never again! Paid 2x and rebooked on Austrian. What a joke!

Painful seats for a 10 hour flight. There’s a very hard flat board in the seat that goes up to half the back and after 7 hours it gets impossible to find the right position to avoid the pain.

I paid for the seat with more leg room but on the day of my departure my seat was changed. I brought it to the airline costumer service and he was able to change it back. The person sitting next to me had the same exact issue.

Great experience. Typically do klm to Amsterdam but may start taking this flight in future - greatxexperience.

The food was wonderful! The blankets and pillows were a nice touch and the staff were very accommodating, making frequent rounds to offer food, drink, etc. We were also told in advance when to expect meals to arrive, which is thoughtful. I liked the early notification about the lack of headphones as well, although unfortunately I'm not sure we received on for the first leg of the trip, which would have been nice to prepare for. The seats are a bit tight, and the bright monitors on the wall were on during an overnight trip, making it difficult to sleep for those close to them. .

The check in not ok! Demanding that we check our carry ons on check in! When there was plenty of available space inside the plane! And the staff at check- in was rude and not helpful and I was traveling with my autistic son and his service dog! Boarding was easy since we were priority boarding! The crew was ok expect from one guy flight attendant that was actually great!
