Review of KLM flight Amsterdam → Paris in Economy

Hi Everybody,

needing to go to Amsterday for a business trip, I will take advantage to try the service of AF/KL between CDG and AMS to join both hubs.
I will have the chance to try KL, an airline that I haven't flown with until today

The routing will be as followed : 

Bad news before joining the airport
My flight is delayed by 2hours, without any reason.

I arrived in front of the entrance of the Schipol's "shopping Mall"
AMS platform is really convenient, we find there the airport, but also a huge railways stations and a mall.
(sorry for the bad quality of the picture) 

Let's join the departure hall
The FIDS : 

Security check will be done in less than 5 min
And, once again, we arrive air-side in an area that look much like a mall than an airport terminal

My Hall leaving from Hall D, I will spend some time spotting

B737-900 KLM skyteam livery:
 

Embraer 190 Lot 

Our aircraft :
B737-800 KLM PH-BXH (22,2 yo) 

Boarding will be launched on time, and will be incredibly smooth :
Fuselage shot : 

Doar time :

Passage through the business class :

Then, my seat : 18A

The seat is more than confortable, and the pitch is quite a lot compared to other legacy
Very good surprise ! 

The aircraft reflects its old age :

Our neighbor, an other B737-800 KL, that replace the B787-900 of Air Europa

Boarding is still ongoing
Quick sight to the KL fleet, from the airline magazine, once again on paper after the covid crisis 

Announces will be made only in English. I imagined it would also be done on Dutch
Pushback on time !

Passage through the non-Schengen area, and on the LC at AMS
B787-900 KL

B787-900 Etihad

Flight will be quite not calm, as weather is bad and our flight level is low
A service will be made despite our short flight time (45 min)
Vegetable crisps; not bad for such a flight

Drinks will be purposed in cans, then recycled after flight (good point for KL)

Flight will continue with no other significant even, and we will land at CDG with still our 2h of delays
Parking at terminal 2F

Deboarding and last sight on this very KL Cabin

Our neighbor, an A319 AF currently on boarding

Last sight on our aircraft :

Back to Paris thanks to the local train

Thanks for reading

See you soon for an other FR
