KLM, anyone???
A travel agent found me a "good deal" for a round from Dallas-Ams. for $600.00 through KLM. She says it is the best european airline, how true is this? I have never heard much of KLM and am wondering if anyone outhere has had experience with it? Many thanks.

KLM is Northwest's international partner. Their home hub is Amsterdam. I think your travel agent is trying to make a sale. They're OK; certainly not the best. IMO, British Air is the best, but I usually end up with best rates on KLM as we fly out of Detroit.

April, which seat did they give you? I am 6'4" and am OK in a KLM seat. <BR>KLM is an average European airline, IMO better than British or Alitalia and on par with Swissair, SAS, Air France or Lufthansa. <BR>If we talk averages, in terms of service and friendliness Asian airlines are still the best and North American airlines the worst.

KLM and Northwest operate "code sharing" flights, where a flight number looks like one airline but the service is provided by the partner carrier. In all likelihood your DFW-AMS service will be on NWA equipment, probably with a change of planes in Detroit or Memphis. In my experience NWA's planes tend to be older and with higher seating densities than KLM's. You should check with your agent or call the NWA number to see which is the case. I just looked at Expedia, and frankly $600 from DFW to AMS is not all that low a fare; there are some less than $550 for travel in May, for example.
