Our Flight To And From Manila

Going home to Manila via Amsterdam always have a looong stop-over since the Manila flight won't leave till noon. Unless you're a First/Business Class pax, or an Elite KLM card holder, you can't stay in any of their 3 lounges while awaiting your flight. The Schiphol Airport is nice and huge, you'll certainly find something to do to pass up time. Kids can play on their play area along the Holland Boulevard. While the adults can roam around, shop at duty free, gamble in the casino, or just eat. They recently opened a mini-spa on the 2nd Floor where you can get a massage. I say that airport has a lot to offer!

I can also say the same thing with their planes. They are nice and very well maintained. Seats on the First and Business Class are very comfy! They also have such accommodating cabin crews, though you sometimes get a cranky and a bit elderly staff that just seems annoyed when you ask for something.

Here are some photos of our flight from Amsterdam to Manila:
We were seated on the 2nd row

Our breakfast

Kaiden just watched TV the whole time we're flying to Manila! He just slept for a few minutes and back on the TV again! I was really worried because he didn't eat the whole 13 hours that we're up on air! He just had a few sips of juice and water. Though he had a McDonalds breakfast back in the airport. But still, no food intake while we're in the plane! He said he's not hungry and just concentrated watching TV. Even Hubby can't make him eat.

Speaking of Hubby, he was so tired and just slept! He's been having such a hard time going to bed lately because his body clock is dotty due to his constant change of sleeping hours, from travelling everywhere! I didn't bother him much because I know he will still be flying again just mere hours after we landed in Manila. He even took sleeping pills to help him doze off.

I didn't get to sleep much in the plane. I tried to, but I just can't. Watched some movies. I guess it's because I'm worried that Kaiden hasn't been eating there. Oh, what an unease mother am I!

And here are the shots taken on our way back from Manila to Amsterdam:

Our Appetizer

The plane that we're in from Manila was a new one. Really good seats that has what seems like headboards in it, so even if you lay down straight, the pax at the back can't see you anymore unlike the old ones where you're really seen laying down. The TV has gone a bit larger, no longer at your side that you have to pull up, it's placed in front of you that has storage on the side. You can also put some things at your headboard which is cool, plenty of space!

I didn't bother to take photos on our RIX-AMS-RIX flights because KLM uses their small cityhopper planes. It's just tiny planes that can easily be zapped around Europe's small cities.

Kaiden has been good all throughout our flights, thank God! People in the cabin and some stewardess even commented and congratulated me for having such a well behaved child! You should have seen my grin! Hihihi! Such a proud Mum! I owe it to the plane's TV shows, did kept my baby entertained!
