KLM: Schiphol - Johannesburg OR Tambo
Afternoon all
I fly irregularly between Schiphol and Johannesburg. About 2 years ago (and for an indefinite period before that), the flights used to leave Amsterdam, fly over Italy and down the Eastern side of Africa to about Zimbabwe, loop over Botswana and land in Johannesburg. However, the last flight (same flight number as always) left Amsterdam, flew over Paris and headed down the WESTERN side (Lake Chad, CAR, Zaire and Angola) before looping south of Johannesburg to land. I expect that this has to do with the Star Alliance deal, and KLM use the Air France route when the weather demands, but can someone confirm this?
*** Edit: previous flights have been October/November, last flight was eo December if that helps ***
I did ask the chief Purser who was going to find out for me, but she never came back with any answers.
