When flying long distance, especially to another country, it is really nice to fly business class. It gives you leg space, access to special lounges, priority checking, but above all, you get nice little ceramic buildings from Amsterdam on each flight.

Beginning of April, I went to visit a customer outside USA and I flew there using KLM. Since I was flying business class, I was able to enjoy the business class lounge in the New York City JFK airport. It was really nice, lots of food (non-vegan), drinks (mostly alcohol), and above all, special security line.

On the plane, the business class treatment continued. First, they start serving drinks before take-off. Then they pretty much walk around you like waiters in the restaurants. Eventually they dim all the lights and windows, so people can sleep. Pretty awesome. Then a little bit before landing, they give you this little ceramic replica of a building in Amsterdam.

So, I know, when I fly withing USA, I usually fly Southwest, and if I fly international, I am usually too stingy to pay for first class. That said, once you compare the nice and quiet business class flight with KLM with boisterous flight with US Airways, you will see that there is absolutely no comparrison.
