A GIFT FROM KLM !

Hi

Just got a letter from KLM after I wrote to them because of a faulty IFE system in C on a flight from LAX-AMS that says they "hope we will enjoy the gift that they have arranged to have sent".

Anyone ever had this sort of "gift" from KLM?

Nope, all I ever got if the IFE wasn't working was a letter when boading telling me it was faulty !

Certainly not! They could have sent me some crackers when I wrote to tell them that the starter, main course and breakfast were inedible on a flight in C from JNB to AMS, but no such luck.

We shall wait eagerly then to see what this "gift" is.
Of course it might never arrive or may arrive when I have forgot all about it.

Update soon.......

A wheel of aged Dutch Gouda cheese.

A pair of wooden shoes.

A Delft Blue plate enscribed with the words "This Is Not Possible".

A bottle of Bols Jenever for your personal use next time you get screwed by KLM.

aaah...the suspense...

I once received a very nice bottle of wine in the mail from KLM as a "goodwill" gesture after a very bad experience. Don't know if they still do that, though.

My mom used to get silk scarves after complaining many years back - I think they were even Hermes.

I'm still laughing--like it's the funniest thing I've ever heard. (oh, well...it may be stress and sleep deprivation too--but it is really funny)

Well the suspense is over................

The wife got a bottle of Red and a bottle of White Wine and I got the same.

Domaine de Pellehaut, probably worth about 4 each retail.
Still better than nothing and I think I will try the Red one right now

I always wondered why they had a FD-wijnkelder (wine cellar). Now I know :-).
