Up In The Air

Shanley and I met in Amsterdam for our flight to Cape Town - a 13 hour flight to be specific.  We flew KLM Royal Dutch Airway, which had several perks:

Note: this is a borrowed picture from Bing, the Heineken is not mine.

-"Good" food (per airline food standards).  We were well fed all 13 hours including Belgian chocolate ice cream :)

-An enormous selection of in-flight entertainment options

-The smoothest landing I have ever witnessed

-An array of free newspapers for your selection before boarding (including the Financial Times and International Herald Tribune

-Extra leg room in coach seating (a serious plus)

-Arriving an hour earlier than planned arrival time

-Delivering our checked luggage after a journey half way around the world (I had my doubts)

All in all, we made it to Cape Town in good company, good time and good accomodation!  Well done KLM.
