Until direct flights were available between A'dam and Toulouse, my employer did. I flew via Heathrow or Frankfurt or Gatwick for a while until my employer did a deal with KLM and we were obliged to fly with KLM. Maybe if the plane is late they won't wait for him. It is worth telling the cabin crew if you have a tight connection time. Once BA picked me up with a car from the apron at Gatwick and took me to a waiting connecting plane.

I guess it all depends on the airline. LH is pretty good. I haven't done enough connecting flights with other airlines to judge. |
