In 2008, due to work assignments, I have been a frequent traveller to Europe (abt 12 single trips in the first four months!) And I had my first experience with KLM flight(transited in Amsterdam)
(由于公作繁忙的关系,我在2008年头乘搭飞机到欧洲国家的次数(4个月里约有12次)竟然令我有了想“呕”的感觉!那次是我第一次乘搭荷兰皇家航空公司航机(在阿姆斯特丹过境))

What a nightmare!! I had a very bad experience when I was on the way back to Malaysia on 1st feb 2008. After the KLM flight took off from Schipol airport, Amsterdam for 1.5 hours, one of the Boeing 747 engines (it has 4 engines) suddently malfunctioned! There was some sparks appearred near the window seat 39A, and my seat was 39D!
(真是一场恶梦!当我在2008年2月1日回程到马来西亚途中,荷兰皇家航空公司的波音747的引擎之一(它有4个引擎)突然发生故障!而且坐在靠窗座位39A可以看到一些火花,而我的座位则是39D!)


Then, we had to travelled another 1.5 hours return back to Schipol airport again (after some fuel dropped & emergency landing). It was about 12 am midnight when we reached the airport, and KLM arranged the hotel rooms for us. By the time after I checked into the Holiday Inn hotel, it was already 4am in the morning! Luckily, I returned home to Malaysia safely after 33 hours travel in total! (but it was more than 11 hours than usual). As I know, passengers who intended travel to the next destination in Malaysia had to pay for extra tickets due to KLM only responsible sent us back to KLIA, as their original flights to Penang, and Sarawak already missed.
(然后,我们不得不用一个半小时再次返回到机场(下降部分燃料和紧急降落)。当我们到达机场时已是午夜12点左右,荷航安排我们的酒店房间。到我住进酒店后,已经是在早上4点了!幸运后来我也顺利回到马来西亚(虽然比原定时间超过11小时!)。据我所知,那些打算前往吉隆坡以外的乘客必须再购买机票,因为去槟城,和沙捞越的航班已经错过了)
