KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is the flag carrier of the Netherlands, founded in 1919 as the world's oldest airline still operating under its original name. As a member of the SkyTeam alliance and a partner airline with Air France under the Air France-KLM group, KLM serves over 100 destinations worldwide with its hub at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, offering transatlantic and global connections for leisure and business travelers.

KLM is known for its service quality, on-time performance, and the iconic Delft Blue miniature houses given to business class passengers—a distinctive brand touch that has become a collector's item. Their fleet mix of Boeing and Airbus aircraft serves short-haul European routes and long-haul intercontinental routes with consistent service standards across cabin classes.

KLM's Flying Blue loyalty program (shared with Air France) is one of Europe's largest frequent flyer programs, with miles applicable across the SkyTeam alliance. Booking directly on KLM.com often provides promotional fares not available on third-party aggregators, and their bi-annual sale events (typically in January and August) offer meaningful discounts on transatlantic fares for flexible travel dates.
