I really want to fly KLM
I really want to fly KLM, but I won't do it when they charge $8,000-$9,000 for a Business Class seat and the competition is charging $2,500-$3,200 for the same route on the same dates.

I want to go from MCO, ATL, EWR, or JFK to AMS, ZRH, FCO.

I need to complete my collection of little ceramic houses.

Seriously, I haven't flown KLM in over 2 years.
No business TATL travel.

But when I did the service was outstanding.

They upgraded my GF to Business for free!:-:
Why not? The Business Class cabinet was less than half full and we tried upgrade her using points but were unable to.

Did your GF have to spend the entire trip in that cabinet, or did they let her out for a breath of fresh air every now and then?
