My opinion is that this is not the fault of BMED, but its the fault of a very greedy BAA.

I understand that BAA is a buisness and that profits is all that matters to them, but they are wholy to blame for this fiasco, and kind of argument could be avoided, if they just let that slot be, if BMED owns it.

And the Airbus is not running empty by the way…….you have to have at least two flying the thing :D:D

Yet more confusion when flying bmi I think!

I flew with KLM from Seoul to Amsterdam (and back again) and the flights were each operated by a Boeing 747-400M (‘M’ being Combi). It was the same 747 on both flights – PH-BFT.

Both of the flights were bang on-time and the service was also very good. There were Dutch and Korean cabin crew on the flight, all of which could speak impeccable English. On the 747s, unlike some of their other long-haul aircraft, there were no PTVs, so inflight entertainment had to be enjoyed through the ceiling mounted TVs, but it was also of a very hig standard, with recent films being shown, as well as an assortment of other programmes. Surprisingly, the entertainment did not get switched off at any time during the flight.

The meals served were all very pleasant indeed – mind you, I can’t remember the last airline meal I had that tasted foul!. And the presentation of the meals is also very good. One of the meal boxes also had a pop-out Sudoku card and complimentary pencil.

I used KLM because they were the cheapest at the time – £535 for Seoul to London (via Amsterdam). To be honest, they were so good that I would even be willing to pay more for their services next time.

Anyway, back to Zoom… :diablo:

Superb! I paid £315 so it was superb value! I’m crossing my fingers hard that we do get an MD-11 home 😀

Your flying to Vancouver Im Jealous I wanna go back there:( You flying with KLM VIA AMS?

I am indeed James! Looks like a A330 there, and apparently an MD-11 back!!! 😀

They are a great little airline! One problem tho, is if there is a delay on a previous sector, it can knock on your flight badly, like when we flew with them to Toronto last year, 5 hour delay we had at Manchester, tho they gave us plenty of vouchers, and updated info.

Return leg was good too, back from Vancouver, and I didn’t mind going via GLA at all.

This year tho, were flying KLM to Vancouver 🙂

And i’ll be there the same time as you :D:D

I feel this edition was not their best. I was only interested really in the 757 article, and I flew thru it, which I don’t ususally do!

Still a top notch mag tho!
