Flights

Choice of Airline Carrier

  1. For our first trip, we chose Air France , as we were travelling only in France.
  2. For the 2nd trip, we travelled in Germany, Switzerland, France and Luxembourg. We decided to book with KLM based on cost. Our national carrier SQ, code share with Lufthansa, would cost us both about S$3200, whereas KLM cost us about S$2500. We had to however buy an extra luggage at about $200, because KLM which offers only 1 free check-in luggage as compared to SQ which offers 2.
  3. For the 1st leg with KLM, as it is code share with Air France, it was a AF flight to Paris. The luggage goes straight to Frankfurt and you are free to shop at Paris CDG. Allow 2-3 hours transit time to catch the flight Paris-Frankfurt. There is no refreshment meal on this latter AF flight. 
  4. On the return leg, we were with KLM itself. There is refreshment meal on board Frankfurt-Amsterdam flight. Allow 2-3 hours for transit at Amsterdam to catch your flight home.
  5. AF flight entertainment and food were better than KLM. The AF equipment was touchscreen and newer. Both crew service were equally good.
