(TAN): KLM has opened two renovated lounges at the airports of Toronto in Canada and Houston in the US, the airline said. Together with the lounges at Schiphol Airport Amsterdam, these are KLM’s only Crown Lounges worldwide.
Comfortable, stylish and ergonomic furniture and fixtures made of sustainable elements and circular materials were chosen for the refurbishment of both lounges, the airline said.

The lounges are recognizable because of the KLM blue and the use of warm, natural colours. Additionally, as is also the case in the lounges at Schiphol, KLM’s Delftware miniature houses are on display. Several seating areas have been created for customers in the lounges. They can choose to work quietly in a more secluded (work) area or opt for more activity elsewhere in the lounge. Customers can also enjoy what the buffet has to offer, with customized options depending on the time of day.
Many people attended the festive openings of both lounges, including travel agency employees, influencers, US and Canadian (travel) media, airport representatives, Delta colleagues and AFKL partners.
Marleen van de Pol, KLM’s VP of customer experience, performed the official opening of both lounges.

Branded lounges add to the connection with our customers in delivering our brand promise of creating memorable experiences,” de Pol said.
