Fly2Miami - KLM

Picture this: a bunch of fanatical DJs and dance fans on a private plane, raving to deep techno beats blaring over the PA system at 10k.

enjoy personal space

May we introduce you to our Europe Business Class? It replaces KLM Europe Select. You might want to know why we chose a new name for our European flights.

Standby to travel

In general, we receive our flight roster about four weeks in advance. But a few times a year we work in a standby shift that lasts two weeks. During that time you haven’t got a clue what your days will look like. KLM can call me anytime, sending me anywhere, for any number of days.… read more »
