To fulfill every Avgeek's dream, I decided it was time to book SXM with KLM, just to stand on Maho Beach!

I flew in from Glasgow on the KL1474 the day previous and enjoyed an overnight stay in Amsterdam before catching the KL729 direct from AMS to SXM with the Airbus A330-200, PH-AOM.  So here she is…

Due to my Platinum status, I was able to select a seat in Economy Comfort free of charge.  View from seat 7A.

Captain announced a flight time of just over 9 hours, pushback on time and soon on our way to the departure runway.

After around an hour, lunch was served.  I do like the KLM meatballs and mash served in economy.  I notice dessert has now been changed to a small cake.

Most of the flight was directly over the Atlantic ocean, not much to see.

Before landing, another meal was served, no choice this time - pasta salad and pizza.  Dessert included this time

Always love deplaning via stairs on a widebody.  Nice ride over on the PH-AOM.

    Great report! Fantastic that you were able to get to SXM right before the pandemic! I've been meaning to go for years, but never had an opportunity even when I lived on the East coast of the US (not many flight options). Now I'll probably wait until my son is a bit older so we can do Maho Beach together...where he won't fly away LOL.

    IME those older KL 330 cabins are super comfortable, even if the IFE is a bit outdated.

    Thanks for sharing!
