So here I am wondering if this is a bug in the KLM app or if they will actually sell me a ticket from Vienna to Bogotá (via Amsterdam and Atlanta) on a Light fare, with KLM operated flights being economy but Delta flights showing on the app as Premium select. All this for 19k crowns as a round trip. Does anyone have any experience? 😇 very tempting
I had it the other way around, bought through Delta Airlines in economy, but on the way back they bumped me to Premium from KLM. 19k is a great price, but at the same time not suspiciously low, so it might as well be real.
On the other hand, Premium Select doesn't show it to me. I only have Economy on there.
I have Flying Blue Gold, so maybe that's why. Anyway, Premium Select only shows it in the order recap. Just before payment when you click on View trip details. The dates are mid-December to mid-January. I'll probably try it, at most I'll have a little argument with them that they promised Premium Select in the booking I only see Economy and maybe I'll get a change from Vienna to Prague
I'm also quite tempted by the 757, you can't really fly it anywhere
Air France - KLM are considering to abolish the "free lunch" in economy
Too bad. They are one of the last in Europe :(
Sorry for the spam, but does anyone have real experience with KLM in Europe and their cabin baggage limit? I have a cabin bag that is larger than KLM asks for (LH accepts it as normal size). It was my stupidity that I didn't notice this until after I bought the ticket. I'm flying to BCN and want to avoid being asked to check in at boarding for a ridiculous amount of money.
What is the size? I fly KLM frequently (including Europe and long haul) and have never seen anyone checking luggage. But of course, unless it's a boater. It should be OK. Most of the time, on the other hand, they proactively ask if they can check larger carry-ons for free, either at the counter or at the gate, because it won't all fit on board. But I've never seen them address the dimensions and ask for any extra money. That's probably just an invention of the low cost airlines.
