Business Class check in

[jonty1973 0]

hi guys

 

i am flying on thursday from heathrow to amsterdam with klm in economy class and then from schiphol to bangkok in Business class with China Airlines. My question is can I check in at Heathrow in the Business class check in or do I have to check in with the economy passengers.

 

I really have no idea as i have never flown business class before.

 

Many thanks

If you are holding a Business Class boarding pass you can board with the business class passengers.

If you have a China Air Gold Card (or higher) you can board with the business class and first class passengers regardless of where you are sitting in the aircraft.

Check-in at Business Class. The worst thing that can happen is they send you over to economy. It's unlikely, though. Make sure they tag your bags priority so they come out of sooner. Have a good trip!

Hi, I'm thinking of doing the same as you, how did you book this? Did you book the KLM flight separate? or did a travel agent book it all for you? Cause CI has some nice Biz fares but its not worth paying biz for the KLM flight.

I was just re-reading your message. At Heathrow you check in with economy/tourist class passengers. At AMS you check in with Business Class passengers.

Done the same trip myself. Definately economy at heathrow and no use of fast track or lounges.

Pay attention Mr Samsonite......

 

Check in with Economy class at KLM checkin in Heathrow, all the way through to final destination. Wouldn't recommend collecting baggage at Schiphol, going through immigration and then checking in again at China Airlines....just to stand in the business class line looking smug.

I have flown many times KLM from Norwich to Amsterdam, then ChinaAirlines dynasty class! Luggage is checked through to Bangkok from Norwich. In the past I've been given a boarding pass for my onward connection, but of late I've had to check-in again at schiphol.

 

In 11 days time I am flying world bussiness class with KLM, this will be my 1st in this class & probably the last at these prices, but I wanted to treat myself

 

I will take a couple of photos for the trip report..

Sorry, what I meant is he would board with the tourist class passengers at Heathrow and board with the business class passengers at AMS.

I have done KLM Business 4 or 5 times now. Best price you will come up with is around £1400. Tip..row 77.

 

They use rather old 747s and it is nowhere near the standard of BA business. But then again you don't get the BA attitude or extra £1000+ to pay and the occassional strike at Heathrow. You get a nice little Blue Delft house to collect full of schnapps.

 

Many extol the virtues of the newer Middle East Carriers (Ethiad, Qatar and Emirates), but the stopover seems to make the journey very long on the second leg.

cheers jacko, I've paid £1460, row 77? whats so special? I can check-in 24 hours in advance on-line, so I'll do that to get these seats.

Row 77 passengers get a free blow job off the stewardess.

Row 77 is upstairs emergency exit row, bags of space between you and row infront. Because you cannot reach the seatback infront sometimes you struggle to find places to put all the crap. Aisle seat is convenient for getting in and out, but window seat has these extra storage boxes right next to you that gives you the storage space. It is also somewhere to put things down on when the lid is closed.

 

Enough space to climb over the guy in the aisle seat if he is asleep and horizontal.

 

Join their FF club yet?

 

You can check in via internet up to 30 hours before.

Cheers! Yes already joined FF club, I have been flying china airlines until recently, dynasty class mostly, but had an argument with them. KLM has a better arrival/departure time & is better all round.

 

I will try for the seats you suggest.

I tried earlier to book the seats you advised, I did it exactly on the 30 hour mark, there were only 2 other seats available, than the ones that were already given (72) I thought that can't be right so I phoned KLM they checked availability & what I had said was right only 2 spare seats that could be changed, how come I said?

They told me I can book my seat 90 days in advance which is why they rest are already taken Its no big deal really,as I will be making the most of it!!

 

Maybe we can have a night out on the go-go reports

 

see you on there other side

Not China Air...though the prices for these flights are very cheap £372 return...when you arrive at the airport, go to business check-in and tell them you were fucked about at the booking agency and you want to pay for an upgrade to business (approx £500 return) if they are fully booked (which is rare) at least you have a cheap flight out and ask them to book a business class for your return.

 

Qatar business is very good and I shall be going back home to LOS in 2 weeks...I will post pics of its seating etc when I get back

 

Cheap Flights £372
