The Purple shall rule! Evelyn flew business class from Cape Town to Amsterdam (en-route to Nome, Alaska): "I’ve never flown business class before, so it’s sort of like Dinsey World for me. I’m amazed at all the little details: real silverware, free magazines, flight attendants handing out Belgian chocolates, etc. KLM even gave us a present: little dutch houses! I’m really amazed. I’ve flown the Cape Town to Amsterdam flight in coach class a dozen times or more, and I’ve never managed to properly sleep before. With the almost flat seat in business class, however, I slept for a good six or seven hours! I suppose the proper sleep will make our 30+ hour journey to Nome a little more bearable".
