Have not flown KLM for 15 years due to crap service, so we will see.
I agree that Alex is destroying the BA brand, however that was inevitable when BA tied the knot with IB, who are woeful in my opinion. I'm waiting for BA to substitute the champers for cava, now that would be low
My last but one flight with BA was supposed to be LUX/LGW.
They phoned me the day before to inform flight cancelled due technical, I used to do this for a living, I told them it was bull and give me an hour and I'll find you an aircraft to sub-charter in, invol rerouted me LUX/LHR on Luxair who totally trashed my suitcase and had no UK representation, left to National Express it to LGW around the M25, ticketed with BA I tried to claim for my suitcase, they weren't having any of it telling me to contact Luxair who I couldn't, and in the end I was forced to give up.
I gave them one more chance after that, AMS/LGW they seated me in a broken seat whilst we flew a very lumpy lefg with the gear down because the idiots had overfuelled the damn thing.
Agree that KLM are cr@p, that's two cr@p airlines now
