I have lived long enough to know that if a company tells me I now have "More ways to personalize" I can auto-translate that to "We found more ways for you to pay for things." Anyway, the time of free food and drinks on KLM flights is over.

You can curate them with your own wallet! *Beeple deboop* Sam, you can now spend money on food while you travel. You booked a premium airline, but nevertheless they now charge for food and drink. You can use your wallet to curate your own experience. You can buy a cheap sandwich, or an expensive one

But,.. that was one of their Unique Selling Points? I assume this isn't the case on intercontinental flights? I mean Emirates still offers 'free' lunch on longer trips. Would be unwise for KLM to join the ranks of pricefighters. They should win on quality.

Most of all I feel sad for the cabin crews. Imagine the next few months having people ask for a coke, a beer, or some juice, and you have to tell them it costs €5 now. That will surprise so many people. All of them will be unhappy, and you have to face that every single flight.
