Mikandra - I am not sure that there is a "good" experience on flights lasting more than 4 or 5 hours. At least not in Economy!

Koels, Jo, and large and noisy and not at all melodious...nuff said.

I'll send you some, Ru...preferably from my garden.

I miss the koels. Bills, alas, are ubiquitous. :

If KLM seating is that cramped for someone of your presque-petite frame, then they must be contravening health and safety regs. Someone should mention the magic words to them, 'thrombosis', 'law suit' and 'compensation', and a random seven or eight digit figure in Euros ... and then there's loss of earnings, if you couldn't work ... grrr.

Good to have you back though (even if 'back' still means the other side of the world, but with better internet connection).

Never flown KLM, but don't feel bad, I have certainly flown several other airlines where there is hardly room to move in one's seat. I am not exactly slim, but I wonder sometimes how really big people manage.

Dunno koels, but try a whippoorwill under your bedroom window at night. They can drive you crazy.

Ah, the koels!

You get them in winter. We get them in the breeding season. They do NOT shut up 24/7!

Wholeheartedly second bad experiences re KLM. That is one airline I won't fly again if I can help it.
