FLIGHT REPORT | Los Angeles to Amsterdam | KLM ECONOMY Boeing 747-400 COMBI | FlyWithMe!

Flying with KLM from Los Angeles, USA (LAX) to Amsterdam, NL (AMS)

This video is a flight report onboard the iconic KLM Royal Dutch Airlines 747-400 Combi, that is now retired from their fleet.

This is my last flight to Amsterdam aboard KLM's 747. At the time I thought I would have at least 1 more chance to experience it but the global pandemic had different plans. KLM has now retired early their entire fleet of 747 in passenger use. I believe their Cargo Operations will still have some 747s.

Pretty calm morning at LAX. Thanks to Delta Gold Medallion/SkyTeam Elite+ I was able to the SkyPriority lane. I also had 1 more complimentary baggage allowance, free seat selection even for preferred seats and Lounge access as this was an International flight.

Security was quick and I was airside in no time. After walking around for a bit I decided to use my complimentary entry to the Korean Air Lines Lounge (KAL) which is located in the International Terminal at LAX. The KAL Lounge seems to be lacking a lot of choices other lounges have. It is located in a central location with nice views of the main hall but unfortunately no plane spotting opportunities.
The food selection was a bit lacking and the drinks selection was even worse. I was quite surprised to have such a big and nice lounge but so little choices. I definitely can't complain much as this was free entry but I would not pay to access a lounge like this.
In contrast the same benefit granted me access to the KLM Crown Lounge at Schiphol and its 1000 times better than this.
The KAL Lounge definitely was not the highlight of the trip.

Departing out of runway 25R, we took a left turn departure out of LAX towards Long Beach. The clear skies provided amazing views of the California coast.

Main meal was served 45 minutes after departure and did not disappoint. The crew and service provided was astounding which is rare to see in Economy.

Soon after I decided to sleep as much as I can and woke up just before the Pre Arrival Meal. Cheese omelette with sausage. Perfect wake up meal and just like the first one, it was very tasty.

We begin descent just above the UK and as the sun rises we get astonishing views above the clouds. It is worth the watch as we slowly decrease altitude and break the clouds for approach.
Very cool views throughout the descent and landing.

The 747-406 COMBI named City of Vancouver was the chosen one to take us to Amsterdam.
I'm glad I was able to provide this content and as a way maintain a vivid memory of one of my last flights with the 747.

It will truly be missed.
