Your Opinion

Hey everyone! I am planning a trip to visit relatives in FCO and I was wondering if you guyz can just share your thoughts! To get to FCO I have a choice between: Air France (747 or A340),Swiss(A330),KLM(MD-11) and British Airways(777). I was wondering which one would you choose and why? My choice would of been KLM! I loved them! but I was hoping I could try a new airline and aircraft. Thanx alot!

I'd go with DL, YUL-ATL-FCO, you get the MD-11 to FCO I believe. Or was that changed to a CRJ too. LOL J/K.

Brithish Airways is known for very good service.
I know nothing about AF, Swiss or KLM and their service.

Fly the MD-11. Screw the service it's about the plane.

[Airigami]

Screw the service

Greg, by "service" are you referring to the F/As?
In that case, go with KLM.

[Greg]

No the food and seats.

What I should have said was "you need'nt worry about the service"

[Airigami]

No the food and seats.

Maybe you'll rethink that once Playboy's centrefold of KLM F/As is published...

I would recommend SWISS, i flew with them YUL-ZRH-DXB-KHI and back, last summer and had a great experience.The A330-300 is a newer aircraft as compared to what the other airlines are flying and the SWISS counter agents are very generous in giving out free upgrades.I was upgraded both ways.Talk about LUCK

[Greg]

I suppose that's best...

[yul_airplane_freak]

hey guyz!! thanx for your replies!! Greg we think the same! lol I was just telling myself that I should go with KLM for the MD-11! and they are getting rid of them so I should go for one last ride Thanx alot guyz!

KLM is pretty good, but I didn't think it was spectacular.

Air France has very good service, plus they have a lot of special deals at this time.

Swiss...hmmm. I have never flown them, but I hear they aren't nearly as good as Swissair used to be. But ZRH is a cinch to transfer in compared to CDG and AMS. I think Siss is more expensive than the others.

BA has decent service, though nothing spectacular. LHR is a great airport, but a mess when transferring. You'd probably have to switch terminals, which can be a nightmare.

If Air France offers the lowest fare, I'd go with them.

[Greg]

Good choice. YAF, take some pictures of it. CAbin, paint, toilets, etc...


My 777 post.

KLM and BA I know to be good.
Air France I know to be bad.
Don't know Swiss at all.

A330 longhaul doesn't sound too appealing to me (bit like a 757 or 767 longhaul and most you hear about that are horrorstories. I can't compare, the only 767 longhaul I've done was a redeye with Delta where there were 20 people including crew on board so I had all the room I needed), I'd rather have the MD11 or 747.
Of KLM and BA, I'd take KLM for reasons of living close to Schiphol so it saves me quite some time (unless KLM were a lot more expensive than flying BA from Schiphol with a changeover in London).
