I'll be flying with KLM soon, and not having used them before I wondering if I need to take sandwiches or not. Do they supply butties/snacks? If so what are they? Etc....

yep they supply food. 2 meals and 2 or 3 snacks i think if i counted it right.. they have butties,noodles and nuts. make sure you're awake when they're serving it or you'll be
What's on the butties? I got some on SIA last time, 3 different types in the one pack, they were all the worst butties I'd ever tasted

Well I think it's gone downhill a bit, but it's edible, if you're not too fussy.
Steer clear, of the 'scrambled egg' for breakfast...makes me
You usually get a choice of chicken or beef, with rice, for your dinner, a bread roll etc. & pudding, then during the 'night', it's a cup noodle, or sandwiches (quite nice).
You always get a packet of peanuts, shortly after take-off, which is welcome.
Yeah it's ok really.
Have to say KLM are very good at keeping your liquid levels up, they're around all the time with drinks.
they have ham or cheese and can't remember if they do chicken as well. they have good service too.
Agreed !Originally Posted by Lime

A passenger had a heart attack on the outward flight, causing a slight delay after landing at NAIA to allow a medical team aboard, but to my knowledge he survived
I'll still take my biscuits, crisps and chocolate with me, and coffee to go satchets.... you never get enough coffee on a flight so only need hot water
I am fussy with food... I can always have Rayna standing by with an emergency KFC bucket

KLM's food's OK, on par with most of the major international airlines, nothing special, but not inedible either. I prefer the food on Emirates, but that's only because they give the impression of being a slighly classier airline and give you a nice carboard menu and better quality plates...etc. The food's probably made in the same catering warehouses all over the world anyway, so even if you think you're getting something better on a more expensive airline it's probably all the same.
BTW, have a good trip
The food on KLM doesn't float my boat.
Cathay Pacific is pretty good. Plus their anytime snacks and drinks are great for me.
A little trick I've learned on meal selections
If you log into the airline website and edit your booking, you can pre-select your meal. The benefit of this is that all special request meals are served first. I've also learned that by choosing a low sodium meal, you usually end up getting a decent slab of meat or fish, none of the indistinguishable chunks of whatever in a sauce or gravy. I got a lovely steak last time I flew with Royal Brunei from BSB to Manila
KLM & Air France are the same too, you can help yourself to Pot Noodles, biscuits, sandwiches and fruit. Air France also give you a nice welcome glass of Champagne when you board
I flew with Cathay last time, and they were a slight disappointment. I'd heard lots of great reports about them, but didn't think they were any better than KLM or most other airlines. Emirates and RBA are still my favorites
That's a nice tip. I'll try that. Thanks!!A little trick I've learned on meal selections

I usually pre-order, been doing that for years, it also means you finish first so can go the loo before the everyone else

I've done that for my next flight in August too. I hope it doesn't backfire now and all I end up with is a plate of plain boiled rice or mashed potatoThat's a nice tip. I'll try that. Thanks!!
It's crap! don't like to mince my words
I had some sort of bloody buffelo meat
Best meals I had were with Singapore airlines one of the meals was a proper steak

KLM is dutch so they are probably going to give everyone "space-cake" to keep them happy throughout the flight
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
The Dutch have some great rules. Tobacco smoking is banned in public including coffeeshops, yet you can still smoke neat weed in coffeeshopsKLM is dutch so they are probably going to give everyone "space-cake" to keep them happy throughout the flight
Flown KLM a few times.
I am not fussy, so I just guzzle everything in sight to get my moneysworth. Packaging is carefully examined for stray crumbs, and the floor is checked for any peanuts that have made a bid for freedom.
BUT I also take 'supplies', because being the tightwad that I am, I have no intention of spending anything in the airport, or to or from it.
qatar airways food are better....weeeeeeeee... springrollsssss
damm now more people know about the pre order trick.... most airline food is very poor but edible, Just book nioght flights and enjoy the noodles and ice cream on demand.. well if you ask nice at the galley. I have been with Cathay, Singapore, Air France/KLM, Emirates and Qatar. Qatar was a pleasnt surprise.
Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy
if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!
if durring your flight u become peckish.. stretch ur legs and go to the service areas and theres always drinks n sweets available too and coffee upon request...
upon ur return tho dont buy anything from the manila terminal ie tanduay or other drinks even tho they are in a visible sealed bag... the dutch will confiscate these items if ur landing at schipol. the dutch allow you to take things out of the eu, but dont allow it to be brought in... i normally pack it with my check in luggage.
... a cardboard diet?
Yeuch ...
... can't they "fix folk up" with a staple diet
Well that is better than the last BA flight I took, major mistake was made at the airport and all they had with them was these bags of prezels. NOT impressedWell I think it's gone downhill a bit, but it's edible, if you're not too fussy.
