But literally, as he finished speaking, I heard the boarding door behind me close, and the jetty was removed. As I took my seat, the captain made a PA that we would remain on stand for another ten to fifteen minutes to await some connecting passengers and announced a flight time of eleven and a half hours.
It was sleek, modern and on point with branding in terms of palettes (KLM Blue along with brown) and adornments. I was immediately impressed with the overall look of the KLM B787-9 Business Class’ cabin. I had obviously missed welcome drinks, and waiting at my seat was a washbag with Rituals products, a bottle of water and the bedding. Thankfully, I had selected seat 8K, which was the very last row of Business by the window so I was spared having to do the walk of shame past any other customers.
When I arrived at the door in a dishevelled yet relieved state, I turned left into KLM’s ‘World Business Class’, where everyone else was obviously boarded. You can read about his hair-raising 55 minute connection at Amsterdam in part one here. This is the second part of Jason’s review of the KLM B787-9 Business Class aircraft.
