during the 60's and 70's we flew to amsterdam several times on a KLM charter flight - we were members of the 'dutch-canadian club'
- cheap charter flights offered to members !
the service was always excellent : good meals (YES !) , eye shades ,
'sockies' - soft socks for sleeping , the finest dutch cologne in the bathroom ... and ALL THE BOOZE AND DUTCH CIGARETTES YOU WANTED !
the stench was overpowering and some passengers had to be helped of the plane , they had a hard time staying upright .
perhaps it's all coming back ?
