Anybody else care to share experiences?
First time in C, flew them back in Y earlier on a 340, which was solid and on par with NW or LH. KL is superior...
To be quite honest, I am still shocked how poor their service is.
They closed the lounge 45 prior to departure, when I entered it.
I was utterly surprised to see them right in the cleaning process as was the warden who told me to go straight to the gate !
I told her that I am not going anywhere 45 minutes before a TATL departure on any airline after I made it through security.
What is she thinking ? It takes me 5 minutes at SFO...
Was told that I could have one coffee, took an Orangina ( one upside of AF, Orangina
) and had the odesity to take a glass for it, which was obviously right out of the dishwasher, cause it was warm....
Cleaning staff asked the warden pretty loud ( obviously pissed, cause she had to clean it again ) IF THEY ARE NOT BOOAAARDING YET ???
If she wants me to get out of the place asap, tell it to me straight in the face, but not like this, pathetic.
Just for the record, had my Orangina, left lounge, took some photos, bought some mags and arrived at the gate at 4 p.m. , 30 minutes later, still 15 minutes prior to departure and had to wait 5 more minutes to be able to board...
