A family's KLM passenger offload experience

[Mark in CA]

At 1555 hours, the Captain then notified SGS staff that he was having to reduce the take-off weight down to 54400 kgs some 2460 kgs less. The reason for this was, on the initial flight plan, the wind speed was nil at zero knots however the weather conditions had changed to a tail wind of 5 knots.

And all of this because of an unexpected little breeze blowing in the wrong direction.
