While on a KLM flight recently the attendants were chatting about a passenger who had written a review about his KLM DTV experience.
FLIGHT REVIEW; KLM FROM DURHAM TEES VALLEY TO COLOGNE « travelswithanthony
Piece of the DTV KLM review;
Though overall a relatively short journey, this one could so easily have gone wrong. Flying from Durham Tees Valley to Cologne via Amsterdam Schipol, allowed me only forty minutes’ transit between the two flights. And yes, I was a bit concerned about my luggage.
It’s incredibly sad to watch the continual downward spiral of Durham Tees Valley, a spiffy little airport that deserves so much better. It has sensational ease of access, and is truly human in scale. I arrived at four in the morning and, for a long time, my only company was the tumbleweed flitting through the lounge. And, while check in and processing was friendly and efficient, I was still charged the infamous, £6 fee to depart from the airport-something I’ve never encountered anywhere before. Really? I mean, I know Middlesbrough is no photogenic beauty, but charging people to leave it is not an ultimate winner, guys.
The flights; both of these were on the seventy seat, Fokker 70 planes that KLM use on their city hopper routes. At DTV, we simply walked out onto the tarmac and up the short, retractable flight of steps. It really was as easy as that.
