KLM Introduces “À La Carte Meals”

Economy Class passengers on KLM’s long haul intercontinental flights originating in Amsterdam will be able to order à la carte meals from 14 September 2011.  This is an additional service alongside KLM’s standard catering.

Four different offerings will be available including vegetarian, Healthy Japanese, a light Japanese meal and Bella Italia, featuring popular Italian dishes; an Indonesian rice table including various traditional dishes and an exclusive vegetarian meal.  The meals are prepared with fresh and healthy ingredients, at prices ranging from €12 to €15.  .

“KLM ran a successful trial with à la carte catering over the past year on flights to eight destinations departing from Amsterdam,” said Erik Varwijk, KLM Managing Director.  “This is a further response to growing customer demand for customised services, offering more choice and more options for customers in determining their own flight experience.  The greater range of menu options follows the introduction of a broader range of seat comfort options and a wider variety of in-flight entertainment.”

Passengers can place their meal orders up to 48 hours ahead of departure.  Orders should be made on-line at the time of reservation or in the “Manage My Booking” segment of the facility. www.klm.com
