WBC has 5 additional inches of pitch and AVOD. Food is not very good at all compared to CO. NW has 32" pitch in coach on the 330, plus AVOD. The WBC seat is better for a day flight than the CO recliner seat, IMO.

Definitely check out the Van Gogh Museum, and poke around the Red Light District for half an hour or so. If the weather is nice, I also recommend checking out the Vondelpark. Nearby is the Leidzeplein (sic), which has lots of good restaurants and shopping.

The WBC on the A330's is nice....my only complaint is the food service, its not nearly as nice as the CO presentation....but if I had my choice take the NW flight as DL has not raped it yet, the overall experience is better than CO's IMO.

The Rijksmusem is a must when in AMS. You can bet that I will be visiting it on my upcoming trip.

I enjoyed my WBC experiences on the A330 and agree that they are much better than CO on the daytime flights home due to the better seat.

But, IIRC, DL may be putting a 763 or 752 on the AMS-EWR flight so you may need to be careful.

Then again, if someone else is paying then it may just be a good idea to keep your piehole closed and enjoy the miles from a free trip.

Don't know what to say. Will have to dig up photos from when I co-hosted a radio show years ago.



I've hit possums, snakes, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, a turtle, a cat - called the cops on the latter, as I tried to find it after it scurried off. One day, I described my commute as the "Anti-Noah".



Yes, WBC on the 330 is indeed very nice. However, I found the food underwhelming.

Both museum are top class, but I prefer the Rijksmusem as well.

The stink of it is that Mom and client are already in J and that the decision on me is being made without it being put to the client. If the client says no, I'll live with that. My mother not even opening it for consideration is what is annoying and unfair about it.

Me too. The Rijksmusem was like having a historical story told to me......I need to be spoonefed.

On my last trip to Asia, the Japanese meal I had in WBC on DTW-NRT was quite good. The entree on the return, however (sweet and sour chicken with rice) was one of the worst airline meals I have ever had. I have had coach meals that were better.

I would still take a step back and look at it as a trip you would not have taken anyhow. I might also suggest that if you would still like to discuss it more, ask if a higher fare class might be in order for an easier upgrade and/or 150% EQMs. But pushing too hard may result in no trip and thus no miles.
