Even though I've traveled a lot during my time in Rome, all of it has been on boats, buses and trains until today. I'm currently on my KLM flight to Amsterdam to meet two of my friends from DC and have realized how different flying within/from Europe is:
1.Security is pretty lax. No need to take off your shoes and they don't even check your id until you're boarding your flight.
2. The airport is gorgeous. Tons of designer shops, including Furla, Bvulgari or whatever, etc were in the airport. Not to mention it was clean and had relatively cheap dining options.
3. Nice planes. Maybe it's just KLM, the Dutch Airline I'm on, but the plane is clean and I have tons of legroom, my brother may even fit if he was in a regular seat... or come close to it.
4. They feed you. They gave us sandwiches and drinks free of charge, not to mention asked if we wanted multiple drinks. The sandwich was interesting, half was a really weird egg salad and the other was turkey and cream cheese, but it's the thought that counts right?
The flight was delayed half and hour which was annoying and hopefully I won't get lost trying to meet my friends at the hotel but... I'm on my way!!
