Introduction


Hello amigos, welcome to part 2 of this trip between Bogotá and Madríd vía Amsterdam (and Cartagena) on KLM.

Stopover in Cartagena


So, the first leg of our flight left us in CTG, where there was a crew change; people bound to CTG from AMS got off and new flightmates joined.

The IFE was rebooted for a while

And then it was pretty much waiting without much else to do.

Toilets were, expectedly, clean.

Updated flight info indicated a 9h41m flight time, not very long.

Once all new passengers were seated we were good to go to AMS.


Enroute to AMS


We were tugged back from our parking spot while the security video was shown

Then our GENx roared to live and we were headed to RWY 18 for a northward departure.

We took off as the sun set over the Caribbean Sea





As soon as we reached our initial cruise altitude the crew jumped to hand water and desinfecting tissues.

I felt like reading and listening to Britney before we got our meals served.

I went with chicken for tonights dinner.

And I was then given a cookie, just because.

And then it was time to sleep. We were woken up by the mood lighting.

Breakfast was distributed. Super sweet but nice, nonetheless.

Conclusion

Another great longhaul flight with KLM. I'm inclined to say it is my favourite airline to fly between Colombia and Europe (TK is also great but prices don't make the long detour to IST worth it).

I'll reserve my thoughts on AMS for the next FR.

Thanks for reading, saludos!
