KLM Business Class

To Bali on KLM Business Class

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Our Bali vacation was a result of our Europe Vacation Package in December last year.  As we were given a complimentary ticket to Bali via KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to be used by March latest, this resulted in our trip today.

At Singapore Changi International Airport KLM counter, we were told that we needed to do the check-in ourselves at the nearby self service kiosks.

We noticed that quite a number of passengers had trouble with the self service check-in and worst of all, there were no staff around to assist. 

Fortunately for us, we managed to clear the check-in for our group of four with no major hiccups. The only setback was that one person in our group was seated away from the others.

Approaching the staff at the KLM counter where we had to check-in our luggage to change our seats so that we could be together, we were told to check with the staff at the boarding gate.

When we were at the boarding area, we once again approached the KLM airlines staff and waited for them to make the necessary changes.  To our surprise and delight, our group of four were all upgraded to the KLM Business Class.

WOW!  That made our day!  :D

Enjoying the unexpected upgrade

Nice and spacious

Nice little amenity bag for every business class passenger
The journey was smooth on the whole and we enjoyed the time in our business class seats though we had problems locating the point for attaching the earpiece.

Our menu:-

The Menu

A napkin was placed on the table before the appetiser and dessert were served on a tray with warm bread rolls.  Later, the main course was served.  We enjoyed our meal and if we had known that we were going to be upgraded, we would not have eaten anything before boarding the flight.

As for the meal, here is the appetiser and dessert served together...

Spicy Smoked Lamb and Chocolate Mocha Cake

Main course:-

Roasted Garoupa Fillet
The food somehow tasted better here in the business class section.  :P

Roasted Chicken Forestiere

Towards the end of the journey, the flight stewardess came around with a tray of porcelain Dutch souvenir and we could select the design we liked.

Overall, though it was a short journey from Singapore to Bali, we enjoyed the sleeper seat with the 150 degree incline at the KLM Business Class.  It was definitely a great start to our Bali vacation.
