My Experience
KLM’s Economy Class dining ร la carte upgrade meals offer travellers an elevated inflight experience.
On a recent flight from Amsterdam to Montreal, I upgraded to the Indonesian meal, and here’s how it went.

Standard Economy Class Dining
For those sticking to the standard meal, KLM offers options like chicken or vegetarian hot dishes, accompanied by sides such as Beemster cheese, feta, and olives.
Dessert included a spiced apple cake, and hot drinks rounded off the meal nicely.
The crew’s attentive service added to the experience.
Snacks & Second Meal
The galley was stocked with Dutch treats like Koetjes reep (milk chocolate bars) and Punselie’s stroopkoekje (caramel-filled cookies).
Before landing, a second pizza meal was servedโa surprisingly flavorful option, given its frozen origins.
Conclusion
KLM’s ร la carte meal service elevates the economy class meal experience. The flavours and presentation of meals like this are a rarity in economy class.
Although it incurs an extra cost, the quality and variety make it a worthwhile upgrade. I am already eager to try another option on my next flight with KLM.
