needing to go to Amsterday for a business trip, I will take advantage to try the service of AF/KL between CDG and AMS to join both hubs. I will have the chance to try KL, an airline that I haven't flown with until today
The routing will be as followed :
Routing
AF1240 - Economy - Paris → Amsterdam - Airbus A321Not available
KL1245 - Economy - Amsterdam → Paris - Boeing B737-800You are here
Bad news before joining the airport My flight is delayed by 2hours, without any reason.
I arrived in front of the entrance of the Schipol's "shopping Mall" AMS platform is really convenient, we find there the airport, but also a huge railways stations and a mall. (sorry for the bad quality of the picture)
Let's join the departure hall The FIDS :
Security check will be done in less than 5 min And, once again, we arrive air-side in an area that look much like a mall than an airport terminal t
My Hall leaving from Hall D, I will spend some time spotting
B737-900 KLM skyteam livery:
Embraer 190 Lot
Our aircraft : B737-800 KLM PH-BXH (22,2 yo)
Boarding will be launched on time, and will be incredibly smooth : Fuselage shot :
Doar time :
Passage through the business class :
Then, my seat : 18A
The seat is more than confortable, and the pitch is quite a lot compared to other legacy Very good surprise !
The aircraft reflects its old age :
Our neighbor, an other B737-800 KL, that replace the B787-900 of Air Europa
Boarding is still ongoing Quick sight to the KL fleet, from the airline magazine, once again on paper after the covid crisis
Announces will be made only in English. I imagined it would also be done on Dutch Pushback on time !
Passage through the non-Schengen area, and on the LC at AMS B787-900 KL
B787-900 Etihad
Flight will be quite not calm, as weather is bad and our flight level is low A service will be made despite our short flight time (45 min) Vegetable crisps; not bad for such a flight
Drinks will be purposed in cans, then recycled after flight (good point for KL)
Flight will continue with no other significant even, and we will land at CDG with still our 2h of delays Parking at terminal 2F
Deboarding and last sight on this very KL Cabin
Our neighbor, an A319 AF currently on boarding
Last sight on our aircraft :
Back to Paris thanks to the local train

A more than pleasant flight on a KL shuttle. AMS is a very nice and rather fluid airport (a Thursday evening;)) CDG 2F remains an efficient terminal
