Wednesday\u00a0newsletters<\/a>\u00a0always feature a\u00a0hotel<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0flight<\/a>\u00a0review.<\/p>\n I recently enjoyed a terrific holiday in Zanzibar, the famous spice island in the Indian Ocean off the coast of\u00a0Tanzania<\/a>. You can read my trip reports here:<\/p>\n On January 19th 2018, I flew Business Class with KLM Royal Dutch Airline<\/a> from Dar Es Salaam (Tanzania) to Amsterdam (The Netherlands). The flight was operated by the oldest Boeing 777-200ER in the KLM fleet. KLM names its B777 airplanes after world heritage sites, and this particular airframe was nicknamed Epidaurus, inspired by the Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus in Greece, which is testament to the healing cults of the Ancient World and the emergence of scientific medicin. I did not expect a lot, but boy, I was incredibly impressed by KLM\u2019s Business Class product. Although the 2-2-2 layout is not the most sophisticated in the skies, it was one of the most comfortable seats I have ever flown (and slept) in. The food and courteous service were great as well. But what surprised me the most, was\u00a0KLM’s attention to design elements, such as Marcel Wanders tableware, the\u00a0Jan Taminiau amenty kit, and the Delft Blue miniature Dutch houses (filled with gin), which all made for a memorable flying experience.<\/p>\n The same Business Class layout and seat is also found on KLM’s B747. The carrier’s A330 aircraft are currently being retrofitted and will all feature a similar Business Class seat and layout by the end of this year.\u00a0 KLM’s B787-9s feature an even better seat layout (1-2-1) with direct aisle access for all passengers.<\/p>\n Have you ever flown KLM’s Business Class? What was your experience? Leave a comment<\/strong> below.<\/p>\n In this review (more information & photos below my Youtube clip & slideshow):<\/p>\n\n
