Review of Flying Dutchman (KLM)

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 on ...
...the full miles. I even once received a free upgrade to business class on a long haul flight and was pleasantly surprised when I received my next membership statement that I'd been credited with business class miles. Statements are sent out monthly, and are clear on concise, detailing miles earnt in month, total miles, and also how many award miles or flights are required for you to get up to the next level of membership (including the date you must ...

Review of Flying Dutchman (KLM)

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 ...
...for space available upgrades when flying Northwest from Economy to First class flying domestically in the United States. Overall one of the most friendly and when you redeem points for flights they dont charge airport tax like the others. Cool huh!!! The best uses for the points are to combine flights one ways this can even give you the best value as multi destination flights in Europe can be very expensive. Fling Round trip to Hong Kong you get ...

Review of Flying Dutchman (KLM)

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 ...
...many partners which can issue miles such as car hire, hotels and shops. I would always try, if timetables permit to fly with KLM as they have a good coverage of UK airports and unlike britains other carriers the price does not double when you need to fly to a non-london airport. The customer service I have received from KLM has likewise always been fantastic. Whether the flights run according to schedule or there is a problem the staff are always ...

Review of Flying Dutchman (KLM)

...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 is ...

Review of Flying Dutchman (KLM)

...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 seen as a cost cutting exercise. The new ...
...most other airlines, and no longer outstanding as it was before. It is much more difficult now to progress to the higher ranks or to remain there, as level miles are cancelled at the end of the year (in the old programme level points rolled over indefinitely). On my last visit to Amsterdam I noticed the lounges have been downgraded as well: the D-pier lounge (very close to the gates for flights to the UK) has been closed and in the lounge in the ...
