"KLM to the rescue!!"
Okay, so? why have I called this review KLM to the rescue?!
In order to provide you with a review of KLM, I firstly need to tell you about my huge mistake in regards to my scheduled flight from Birmingham International to Amsterdam with BMI Baby a couple of Friday afternoons back.
This was truly a classic case of "Silly Scouse"?..
If you're not interested in the background and just want the review on KLM, scroll down to "Booking Process".
My best friend, Richard, from Uni and I had planned to go to Amsterdam over a weekend from Friday through to Sunday to attend an annual dance music festival named "Loveland", and visit his Dutch mate, Rutger. Richard lives down in London and had booked his flight from Gatwick, with me booking mine from Birmingham International, both scheduled to land at Schipol ...
Advantages: Great food, great staff and service, very clean, sticky rice to die for Disadvantages: no kids menu a little priceier than your average curry house
I've never tried writing and review on a restaurant before but Asia Lounge is one of my favourite places to eat so I thought I'd give it a go and hope I do it some justice.
What Is the Asia Lounge
Asia Lounge is the newest restaurant in Bury, Manchester. It only opened at the back end of last year.
The restaurant serves up authentic Thai and Indian dishes. The chefs themselves are from Thailand and Pakistan.
The restaurant has two floors and can seat 200 guests. As well as taking bookings it is also available to hire for functions. Although the Asia Lounge isn't a take away it will do so by special request.
Location
Asia Lounge is located on Rochdale Road, Bury just on the corner of Heywood Street.
The Restaurant
The restaurant itself has a red theme going on, plain walls with pieces of ethnic art on the walls, wooden floors ...
Advantages: Good value for money, comfortable Disadvantages: Everything is routed though Amsterdam
I’ve read a few different reviews on KLM which suggest that their level of service appears to vary quite a lot and this ties in with my own experience. I travel on business quite a lot and recently flew with KLM from Edinburgh to Detroit via Amsterdam. I then flew up to Toronto and returned from there to Edinburgh, again via Amsterdam.
On this trip, I experienced both a KLM regional airline (KLM UK), flew in both business and economy sections and also used KLM’s code share partner, Northwest Airlines, for the first time. I guess I sampled a fairly wide range of the KLM product on offer so I thought it might be worth writing an op on it.
It was a long trip so it’s a long op – I’ve subdivided it into the different legs to make it easier to read and/or skip the bits that you may feel irrelevant ...
