Just amazes how Austin Bergstrom has changed so much. I remember when all it handled were flights around the States and one or two to Mexico or Canada. But now seeing intl flights out of it is just crazy like BA, KLM, and Lufthansa all flying there.

Nice trip report. Great that you do narration which makes it easy to digest. Also like your stats for nerds section. Much appreciated from this fellow avgeek who also tries to make reviews like this.

[@LonestarTrips]

I’m glad you enjoyed, and I’m especially glad to hear you enjoyed the Stats for Nerds section! I’m an engineer, and I always love to delve into the facts behind what makes things tick, so hearing that others also appreciate the information is always welcome.

[@CenTexAviation]

Amazing video! It’s so cool that you got to fly KLM’s AUS-AMS route! Hope you’re enjoying Amsterdam! :D

[@LonestarTrips]

I was only in the Netherlands for a few nights, as we were using it as a stop over point before continuing on to our final destination. I won’t give away anything yet, but a certain song by Toto does come to mind…

[@CenTexAviation]

@@LonestarTrips Holy Mackerel! That’s insane! Really hope you’re enjoying your adventures! Can’t wait to see some more videos soon! :D

[@LonestarTrips]

@@CenTexAviation the adventures have been incredible as always, and I can’t wait to share them!

[@wanderingcameraguy]

Thanks for a detailed flight review. I am traveling on this exact route next week :)

[@LonestarTrips]

Glad it could help, and safe travels!

[@NathanEmenySmith]

Damn boy you analyzed the meal more than anything else

[@gparyani]

I was there back in 2017 when Delta operated this route as a one-off due to SXSW. I didn't manage to catch that plane but I did manage to catch the Scandinavian Airlines plane headed for Stockholm that was also a one-off.

[@sachabunniksglobaladventures]

Beautiful footage coming into Amsterdam, wow wow wow, thanks for sharing

[@LonestarTrips]

The views coming in to Amsterdam are incredible! I wish I could’ve shown more, but it would’ve dragged on for much longer than would be entertaining.

[@hirampriggott1689]

Those engines are massive!

[@FastGuy1]

Got this flight coming up soon.. Gotta wait and see how it goes

[@ronaldbiver523]

The voice over was a brilliant idea, clear & precise details of your journey to my beloved city Amsterdam (Iam Dutch, but now lived in Melbourne Australia), keep up the good work & your voice over was really appreciated it ******!!!!!! (Iam a new subscriber)

[@meister0388]

Exciting times to see Bergstrom Intl welcome new routes. I just hope that US carriers take some opportunities to fly out of KAUS instead of adding layers of connecting routes. AA and Delta could benefit from adding direct flights across the pond. I flew to Portugal in June from KAUS with United and I (unfortunately) hd two legs, with the last US bound taking off from Newark.

[@FastGuy1]

We’ll have to wait and see what the future awaits for Austin.

[@kianniedejesus7256]

How was the comfort for economy seats? We are looking at taking this route but wasn’t sure if we should stick to delta. Did you carry on bags? Did they measure anything? Our bags are just if any 1 inch off from their policy.

[@CarlosPrieto747]

Hola amigó. Me gustó mucho tu vídeo sobre KLM Airlines. Y La aeronave el 787-9. Increíble. Será mucho pedirte que para los próximos videos armenos sean colocada la traducción del inglés al español. Cómo la información del vuelo en Español. Bueno amigo un gran saludo desde Maracaibo Venezuela.....

[@LonestarTrips]

Thanks for stopping by, and In glad you enjoyed the video! I can’t make any promises about adding translations to each video, but I do know that KZbin’s built in caption software can auto translate audio to captions in another language. I’ll still see what I can do about other means of translation though, as you bring up a very good point about foreign audience engagement.

[@AIRSIDEOPSAviation]

Where is plane spotting upper deck. At in Austin Airport?

[@ModifydCD]

Awesom awesome video. I know you and I fly out of the same area. (AUS) I was wondering if you were going to be doing this route soon. I am doing it in a couple of weeks. Then carrying it over to Dubai.

[@LonestarTrips]

What do you mean? Like am I going to be flying this route again? I’ve already been and returned from my travels abroad, so now I’m just working through the footage I have. Glad you enjoyed the video though!

[@ModifydCD]

@@LonestarTrips no not flying the route again. I was wondering if you were planning on trying that route out and you did as I see in this video. I hadn’t flown long haul in a while and I little nervous about it.

[@LonestarTrips]

@@ModifydCD trying out which route? Sorry if it seems like I’m being dumb, I’m just not quite sure what you’re asking.

[@LonestarTrips]

@@ModifydCD wait do you mean like was I planning on flying this route when it went live? Like intentionally for the channel?

[@ModifydCD]

@@LonestarTrips yes. I wasn’t sure if you were flying this route. I had been looking for travelers that had taken this route AUS-AMS…. And you did and made the video. That’s all. Not saying you me going again. I was excited to finally find a video of this trip

[@lennartniehof7649]

watching this a year later and the breakfast yoghurt would have still been good

[@duaneowens7777]

Hi how was the customer service on KLM. Are they lenient if you are 1-2kg over the checked bag and carry on limit.

[@LonestarTrips]

Customer service was fine, although we didn’t check our bags, so I’m not sure how lenient they would be on that. I think it’s a labor law thing, at least in the US, where anything over 50lbs requires 2 people to lift, hence the increased price, so unlikely they’ll be able to be flexible on it.

[@brucecarroll523]

There doesn't appear to be a Premium Economy section on the Austin - Amsterdam route? Just Business & Economy?

[@LonestarTrips]

Premium economy, at least on the Austin-Amsterdam route, is denoted by a select set of seats that can be upgraded to from economy. I don't think it's technically premium economy, but it's close enough.

[@manugfan]

Man you fortunate you got to takeoff on 36R with a Dreamliner

[@LonestarTrips]

Yeah, it was amazing! If only the sun was in a slightly different place. The glare on the window made it hard to see and even harder to film.

[@manugfan]

And it looked like it was a fairly long takeoff roll

[@LonestarTrips]

@@manugfan it really was. I was honestly surprised how late we rotated. Must have been pretty loaded up with cargo.

[@manugfan]

I bet. Are you returning on KLM?

[@LonestarTrips]

@@manugfan I am! Although first I’ve got another destination to head to.

[@noroy2]

Were you asked for vaccination documents? Great video man.

[@philbertshevitz3113]

Nice video, can you add chapter time stamps to make navigation of the video easier. Thanks

[@LonestarTrips]

Good idea! I’m currently out gathering footage for future videos, but I’ll add them when I get back home.

Nice, please do more overnight plane trips, you didn’t say what your next video would be will it be northeast corridorrrrrrrrrrr=)=)=)I wish I could go to Europe because I’ve never left the US in my LIFE, their are reasons I will never take a plane again plus Europe is dangerous so I wouldn’t touch it now, July 10-16 2022 I will be on a camping trip in upstate NY and Yesterday I had a 19 Mile beautiful bike trip, anyway let me know what your next video will be=)=)=)

[@MaartenvanderVeeke]

Amsterdam/the Netherlands (wherebthe guy in the video went to) is safer then the USA. Some olaces in Europe are more dangerous but in general Europe is safer, especially the Netherlands.

Go on sounder and sunrail aslos where is mbta

[@LonestarTrips]

I just got back from my travels, so MBTA is on the way! I don’t know exactly when it’ll be coming, but I have the footage, so sooner rather than later. As for Sounder and SunRail, I plan on heading up to the Pacific Northwest to check out Amtrak Cascades, Sounder, the Coast Starlight, and other rail lines in the area at some point in the future, but as for SunRail, I’m not sure when that will happen. My plan was to check it out while I was in Florida, but after my train from Miami to Orlando got cancelled, I wasn’t able to fit SunRail into my schedule. If I end up going back out to Florida for the launch of a Brightline Orlando, I’ll be sure to film a video on it then.

I thought wide bodies takeoff from 18R/36L out of Austin

[@LonestarTrips]

They usually do, but sometimes they’ll run both for wide bodies if there’s too much traffic.
