Advantages: Good reward rate, many options to spend Disadvantages: All flights routed through Amsterdam
I've been flying with KLM on business for about 6 years now, and have found the program excellent.
The program is easy to join, you can pick up a leaflet at check in on a KLM flight, or even on the plane itself. The application form contains a push out temporary card, so that you can start collecting straight away. You can also join easily through the helpful KLM web site (www.klm.co.uk)
When I first joined I'd already flown a few trips, but ...

Royal Wing Review ofFlying Dutchman (KLM)by
Victor77
Advantages: Easy to become Royal Wing flying a few Long haul flights. Disadvantages: Flying short haul in Europe may take up to 30 flights.
KLM Flying Dutchman programme is my faveroute I have been a member for over 4 years and this is one of the easiest to move up to a higher level, with relatively few flights as long as they are long haul.
3 Flights in Economy to Hong Kong in one year and you will become a Royal Wing member. A lot of people fly regularily but with the right choice of airline they can get the reward. Such as Access to the KLM and Northwest lounges and this then available ...

Advantages: Free flights, Baggage allowance, great service Disadvantages: Sometimes changing in amsterdam is infeasible due to bad connection times
I have been enrolled for about 2 years with this and other frequent flyer clubs and this is by far the best.
Although I am only at the standard blue membrership level as i am not really a "frequent flyer" having flown within europe only a handful of times I have already been able to get a free flight award which would have otherwise cost me about 400 euros.
My other frequent flyer memberships look like i may have to be a member for decades before ...

Advantages: Good programme with lots of chances to redeem points Disadvantages: Lack of support from helpdesk
...few years now. THe Flying Dutchman club is probably one of the best frequent flyer programmes although it is a little complex in its operation. Three different levels entitle the member to different levels of service and access to different lounges. Points can be collected for flights with KLM and partners as well as hotels and car hire.
The only downside to the Flying Dutchman club is the lack of service by KLM staff. To say they are dreadful ...

Advantages: the usual things: saving for free flights, extra baggage allowance and lounge access Disadvantages: recent downgrades of programme
Let me start to say that I am Dutch so I may be a bit biased.
Flying Dutchman used to be one of the best frequent flyer programmes around, and I agree with the reviews written before KLM decided to "modernise" it (October 2002).
Although all the mailings in which the new programme was described hailed this modernization as a big improvement; actually in every single aspect the changes were at the members' disadvantage and the change can only been ...
