My Flight on Delta One from Newark to Amsterdam

This week I flew Delta Business (renamed Delta One) Class to Amsterdam, connecting to a 40 minute flight to Luxembourg in a KLM “Fokker” Cityhopper.  I used 62,500 SkyMiles for this one way trip ( I’ll be returning home on Air Berlin out of Düsseldorf.)

   
 The Business Class area was only about half full. Each passenger was given a Tumi Amenuty kit, and a good quality full-sized pillow and blanket.

 
Before take-off, the FA came around with glasses of champagne and packets of designer nuts.

  
After take-off, dinner was served. First, we were given a plate with 3 grilled shrimp and a remoulade type sauce, which was  good.   

 Then a wedge of lettuce with blue cheese (I sent it back because I detest blue cheese). Then a Thai Coconut Curry soup which was surprisingly spicy but good. 

Is it my imagination or did the bread look somewhat erotic?  

 For the main course there were a number of choices.

 
I chose the Braised Beef Short Ribs with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli. Believe it or not, it was excellent! 

 
For dessert, I chose the chocolate sundae over the fruit and cheese platter, but it was just OK. 

 
The seats were comfortable both upright and in a flat bed position. I watched a movie and tried to sleep. 

There was also breakfast, which included eggs and potatoes. I wasn’t hungry so I just had coffee and the melon.  The connecting flight was out of Terminal B, which of course was at the other end of the airport. There was a humongous passport control line to pass to the other terminals, but since I was traveling in a premium class, I was able to go on a very short line! Love it!

I stopped in at the KLM lounge at lounge 25. Previously, I’ve always gone to the KLM lounge at Lounge 52. It was very crowded. I grabbed a coffee and checked my email and proceeded to my gate.
