KLM

The other day I was due to return from Amsterdam to the states and patiently awaited the aircraft to come to the gate. Must be 747-400, A340 or something......Nope, a 737 in Swiss Air colors parks there. Im saying, here we go another gate change.
Not even, it turns out this puppy is not only going across the pond, its going to Houston. Amazing.
Bottom line is it was a 737-700 with range out the kazoo. Further that it was configured for only 44 pax. (I was going World Business)
Trip was great, weather was great, staff were great and with only about 20 pax on board,(no screaming kindersh1ts) a very pleasant experience.
So to those of you who may have some influence.ha ha. Please suggest to KLM that they do this on the Amsterdam/Johannesburg routing......Its obviously capable.
Thanks Privat Air/KLM
