From Bangkok to Luxembourg with KLM, what about the Covid-19 test
I return with KLM from Bangkok to Luxembourg with a transfer at Schiphol. The KLM site states that you must take a Covid test before checking in in Bangkok if you are traveling to the Netherlands. But if you only make a transfer at Schiphol, this would not be necessary provided the country of your final destination does not require it.
KLM will continue with flexible rebooking for longer
KLM will continue with its flexible rebooking policy for longer. Travelers may change their booking free of charge during this period. The airline is extending the option of rebooking your flight for free due to the corona travel restrictions that still apply in many countries.
Thailand question: Whether or not a mandatory PCr test for a flight with KLM to BKK?
On October 14 we fly from Schiphol to Bangkok. In my opinion, KLM has no obligation to show a negative PCR test to board the plane. However, it is an obligation according to 1.3 of the Thai Embassy.
Thailand question: KLM very difficult to reach
I booked a ticket to Bangkok with KLM and accidentally mentioned my call sign instead of my name as it appears in my passport. According to the KLM website, this can be adjusted if you contact them. And that's where the shoe pinches. They are absolutely inaccessible to mu. Tried by phone, but you get a tape and after waiting a while you are thrown out of the queue. I tried it via whatsapp but then you get a standard text, the same applies to messenger.
Will KLM remove meat from the menu worldwide?
In an article on the website of Luchtvaartnieuws.nl, KLM is considering switching to a vegetarian menu on all flights worldwide. Meat is no longer served in Economy Class within Europe. With the choice for completely vegetarian, the airline would take an important step in contributing to the (indirect) sustainability of flights.
KLM will not go to Phuket this winter after all
Although KLM had previously announced that it would include Phuket in the winter timetable, the airline is now refraining from doing so.
Last Friday was finally the day it was going to happen, the trip to Thailand. Left well in time for Schiphol and arrived on time by taxi in front of the departure hall. The first thing I noticed was that there were no carts for the suitcases. Or yes, according to the employees there were, but no one felt the need to put them outside or at the front of the departure hall.
The names of KLM aircraft
A while ago we paid attention to a KLM 747, which was taken out of service and is now parked in the garden of a hotel. In addition to the normal registration PH-BFB, that KLM Jumbo also had a name, namely “The City of Bangkok”. In some responses to those postings, blog readers said they had once traveled in this particular plane.
KLM comes with a COVID-19 document check for passengers
KLM customers traveling to a selected number of destinations can now have the necessary corona travel documents checked in advance. KLM's COVID-19 check | Upload@Home is a new service that allows the customer to travel well prepared and smoothly.
Reader question: Is a PCR test required for a KLM flight Bangkok-Brussels via Amsterdam?
Is a PCR test required for a KLM flight Bangkok-Brussels via Amsterdam? I don't have a ticket yet, but I think I will fly in early or mid-June. I did some research and see that Thailand is still among the safe countries and no test would be required.
This winter with KLM directly to Phuket
KLM is optimistic about the future and has added no fewer than six new destinations to the new winter timetable. Good news for Thailand lovers, especially those who want to travel to Phuket. From 1 November, KLM will fly to Phuket 4 times a week with a short stopover in Kuala Lumpur.
KLM has been awarded the APEX Diamond Award Health Safety. This award is the highest achievable status for airlines in the field of Health Safety. KLM is the second European airline to receive this Diamond certification, after Virgin Atlantic.
Visiting Thai Airways Technical
At the invitation of Martien Vlemmix, the chairman of MKB Thailand (now Stichting Thailand Zakelijk), I was part of a delegation of SMEs that paid a company visit to Thai Airways International Technical Department, which is located at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.
The KLM in Bangkok
Our national pride, KLM, has been present in Bangkok for many years, because it has always been an important destination, sometimes as a final destination, but often also as a stopover to another Asian country. Yes, I know, I'm actually not allowed to say KLM anymore, because it's now Air France/KLM. For me it's just KLM, which has brought me to many destinations and I can't say that about Air France.
Reader question: Is Traveldoc reliable?
My Thai wife is flying with KLM from Amsterdam to Bangkok on April 30. bKLM has told her to go to the website, Traveldoc and the latest updates on the necessary papers.
Due to the Corona conditions, we did not return to the Netherlands last April, after our usual annual wintering period.
