Thumbs up first flight on KLM

I had my first flight on KLM to Milan
iad-ams-mlp
then
lin-ams-ewr
(continental RJ from ewr to iad)

i must say that i was very impressed by the service

in the past 5 years i have had at least 14 flights to europe
with at least 10 of them being on ua/lufthansa/austrian or some star alliance carrier
and i did air france to france last year

KLM BY FAR was the best flight experience

now the food did suck, (i was in coach), but the FAs were nice, i was able to get seats with good legroom, etc, etc

i would definitely favor them over any american owned carrier

KL inflight service is pretty decent and the booze selection is good as well... major problem is the KL ground staff

Getting decent seats is key to surviving the KL economy experience.
