Planning on visiting Europe, book a cheap flight with KLM Airlines for a great flight experience in either Economy or Business class.
KLM is the oldest airline globally still operating under its original name. The airline took its first intercontinental flight on 1st October 1924 to Batavia, now Jakarta in a Fokker F.VII.
A merger was formed between Air France and KLM on September 30, 2003 where both airlines became subsidiaries of the holding company, Air France-KLM but maintaining their own brands.
KLM took the award in 2012 and 2013 for Best Airline Staff Service in Europe that covered airport and cabin staff performance.
KLM handled the first transatlantic flight in 2012 to Rio de Janeiro that was partially fuelled by sustainable bio fuels, the longest distance any aircraft has flown on bio fuels.
Travel classes afforded to KLM passengers are World Business Class, Europe Business Class and Economy Class. The former two classes afford passengers SkyPriority status, prioritising all aspects for passengers from arrival to boarding, to disembarking and collecting luggage, extra baggage allowance, access to KLM Crown Lounges and lounges of airlines partners and additional Flying Blue Miles.
