Also get to fly KL for the first time (IAD-DXB). KL can't be THAT bad, can it?

Their short-haul intra-europe in-flight service blows the water out of any DL CRJ flights I've been on.
With most flights under 60 minutes in the air, including climb and descent, I usually get 3 drink refills plus a sandwich in Y (which does not cause renal failure after 3 hours like most airplane food).
TATL I can't say as I always have Delta operated flights.
