KLM OUT OF CARDIFF

Wed Mar 03, 2010 7:11 pm

Flying to Bahrain next Thursday and to save the trek to heathrow and a couple of hundred quid too i have taken the advertised option of going KLM out of Cardiff and reconnect Holland etc, anyway since booking heard a few horror stories especially about bags going missing etc, any one done a connection this way with them?

flown to the dam loads of times, klm are the best always on time, never had any problems with them klm gates are right by the main terminal building, bmi planes always late and miles to walk to catch ongoing flights

Only done it once
Cardiff to Amsterdam, Amsterdam Kuala lumpur
No Problems

Coming back I got into Cardiff on a Friday, My bags arrived on Sunday.

Problem is the Amsterdam to Cardiff Plane is parked off the Terminal and if they are busy or running late the Bags get left behind.
I know a few people who had the same problem.

KLM - used them a few times. Very good service and excellent connection service to Schiphol - albeit in a little Fokker plane :lol:
