Your vacation doesn’t start at your destination!
The flight from Europe to Curacao is quite long.
Curacao is part of the Netherlands Antilles, so it’s primarily served from Europe by the Dutch airline KLM, which flies out of Amsterdam. Usually, you’ll fly from your closest home airport to Amsterdam first and then on to the Caribbean. From Europe, only TUI Fly and Corendon (both from Amsterdam) and Air Belgium (from Brussels) fly to Curacao. Unfortunately, these airlines are typically not more affordable when you include the needed connecting flights.
KLM is known as a very safe airline, and it’s currently (2022) the second safest in the world. For comparison, Lufthansa is listed in 17th place (acc. to “Hamburg air accident agency JACDEC”). In our experience, KLM offers a great, human, and attentive service.
Even so, it still takes at least 10 hours in a cramped seat. It’s tough to figure out what to do with your legs and it’s hard to find any relaxation or sleep. Especially on the return flight, which is an all-night flight, you’ll notice it. But there is another way!
What if you could skip the long line to check in your luggage at the airport and use the free priority line instead? Get through security quickly and then, instead of spending money on an expensive coffee and sandwich in the waiting area, go straight to the airline lounge?
For instance, the Skyteam Lounge in Munich: You can enjoy a wide range of drinks and snacks there. Instead of sitting in an uncomfortable chair at the gate for hours on end, grab a seat in the lounge – it’s comfortable, and it has WiFi. While other passengers are still boarding, you’ll already enjoy a glass of champagne (“welcome drink”) on the plane. You’ll relax in one of the lie-flat seat, which are extra-wide seats in Business Class that can be converted into a comfortable bed.
This is the luxury you deserve for your vacation, and we’ll show you how you can afford it with a few tips from us. We’ll show you how you can quickly build up a mileage account with the right credit cards and your everyday spending, allowing you to book business and even first class flights at a reasonable price.
