This makes me wonder why KLM never flies the route anymore. I realize that they're codeshared with NWA, but I haven't seen the KLM colors here in years. What's the reason?

As for AF, it's nice to see more colors in my hometown. If only they had a few free tix on the tables with the other freebies... After all, my bags were already packed...
