Hi all,

This report is overdue from 2013 but I'm finding time to post it now. On my way back from Tehran I was flying with KLM. It's sad that they discontinued their service to Tehran in April 2013 but anyhow.

I did not take many pictures of Tehran airport as I have covered it in my previous trip report below and it has not changed much since even now:

Tehran to Dubai with Emirates:

http://flight-report.com/en/report-5740.html

This trip report is mostly from plane spotting at AMS.

As I love the color blue, so guess what? my most favorite airline is KLM as it is all blue. I have taken lots of pictures of KLM around AMS and I hope you enjoy them :)

Departure time: 1:40 am - Arrival 5:00 am
Flight duration: 5 hours
KLM MD-11
IKA-AMS

The legroom was so comfortable in economy, so was the seat.

Take off and Tehran in the distance

They first gave out the pizza snack

The flight was very smooth and as it was in middle of the night everyone was almost sleeping including me so I did not get to take any more pix :)

Shot of our beautiful plane when we disembarked

Some shots of Schiphol- The best airport in the world, so much fun and it has such a good energy and atmosphere

I bough the KLM 747-400 models from this store for only 11 Euros.

Shot of our plane again

Our MD again :)

Yotel- the small hotel with tiny rooms that transit passengers can use

It was around 7 AM that I went out to go to the city

Schiphol plaza filled with shops at the arrival hall

I got to Amsterdam around 7:30 and then I walked around till 10:30 and was back at Schiphol at 11:00

Amsterdam Central on my return

Then I headed to my most favorite place, the Panorama Terrace

An ad about the Schiphol Behind the scenes tour and their route map

Entrance to the terrace- The rest of the pix are pretty self explanatory :)

The only downside was that all information boards and guides around the area and inside the sample KLM Fokker were all in Dutch and I could not understand anything.

Airlines serving Schiphol

Iran Air :)

This was our plane that took us to Toronto 2 hours later :)

So I head back to the main departure hall after passport control for my flight to Toronto:

Our plane to Toronto barely visible

AMS-YYZ
KLM 747-400
Duration: 8:15 hours

I had booked my seat in Economy Comfort to compare the two. My seat indeed had extra leg room but economy was not that bad neither.

Boarding our plane

Check out the plane's shade :)

Simply beautiful and amazing :)

Getting close to Toronto

Above Toronto- Downtown and CN Tower visisble

North York's City Centre

Ok, this is a very cool thing to know. This intersection is where all Toronto spotters come to take picture of planes landing in YYZ. The famous Petro-Canada station is just right underneath the plane and can't be seen but at the intersection in summer days you can see many people including me snapping pics of planes :)

Wow the shade is huge

And this is the last pic, but my most favorite. I love this angle of the picture and love 747-400 the most along with 747-800 of course ;)

Hope you enjoyed :)

Hi There! Thanks for sharing this report. Because KLM does not have a direct non-stop Tehran to Toronto, please break your report into 2 reports for each flight or choose one flight which you feel is more representative and have the photos from the other flight as a bonus, if you don't feel you have enough photos to make two reports. Thanks!

Thanks for this report : it's more a spotting report than a flight report ;-)
Did you get another meal for this flight ? I hope that they served breakfast otherwise it's real frugal. But maybe were you sleeping ?
If you love blue KLM is certainly your favourite airline ! I like blue but find they use it too much to my taste !
Hope we will get pics from the AMS Toronto flight as well.

Thanks, actually they gave another meal from the flight from Tehran to AMS but I was sleeping. The pictures of Toronto to Amsterdam flight is also in this TR. There are so many pictures, if you wait a bit they will load and they are towards the end of this TR :) 2014-11-09 18:39:13
