Like you, I also status matched to AF/KLM for £90 a few months ago. I'm fortunate in having BA GfL and will fly with them to Paris tomorrow, but I wanted to take advantage of Platinum status with AF/KLM. Have flown with them a fair bit on account of the convenience of where I've been heading to and from and I like their J offering. I'm on track to re-qualify for Platinum this year which is a bonus. I like the lounges in CDG but find the KLM ones in AMS disappointing with very limited food offerings and only tiny plates! AF's catering on J on short haul is as you describe and I've always enjoyed the meal on offer when I've flown J on their EDI/CDG service. Unlike BA they don't however offer hot meals on even longer European routes even on a 5 hour to TBS for example. Long haul on AF I recall a recent flight to JNB which was pretty much exactly as you described going to Bogota with excellent food and wines. KLM catering in J at least on short haul is not up to AF's standard. While AF offer metal cutlery KLM offer wooden cutlery in business, though on the 737s they have a small number of metal cutlery sets set aside which passengers can ask for (I haven't flown KLM long haul for a few years now so can't comment).
Keep up the factual, pithy and easy to read TRs st1985. happy 40th birthday and look forward to reading of your return journey.
Thanks for reading
BABarelyGold! I wondered if it was just me who wondered why the plates in the AMS lounges are so small?!
And yeah, the wooden cutlery in J on the European hops is a bit stingy tbh. I do wish that AF would start up its direct ABZ - CDG service again though. It would make things much easier. The ladies on check-in at ABZ were saying that so many people are asking when / if it will start back up again. Thanks also for your birthday wishes!
