@KCBOYZ1307 Dude, stupid ass... KLM operates daily flights, 7 days a week from Schiphol (AMS/EHAM) to St. Maarten (SXM/TNCM) in their 747-400's. Since they're too heavy to take off fully loaded from SXM straight back to AMS, they fly a triangle route through Curacao (CUR/TNCC), to refuel and set off to Schiphol the same evening. This flight is know as KLM flight 785.
So the AMS-SXM-CUR-AMS route is actually a real world routing! So there ;)

@chaer76 I've seen it. They don't send them direct from Schipol, they always stop in Caracao on the way there and on the way back.

@chaer76 I'm so sure because I did the research months ago. I was gonna make that flight with PMDG's 747 and I wanted to get the flight number so I googles "KLM Schipol to St. Maarten" It said there was no direct flight, there never has been, and there's never gonna be. They always stop in Curacao first before heading to St. Maarten from Schipol or Schipol from St. Maarten. I know they send 747's there I didnm't say that smart one, I'm saying they don't send them direct. They can't.



There's not even a real route from Schipol to St. Maarten. They operate route from Schipol, to somewehere else(I don't remember), and then on to St. Maarten and back the same way

@KCBOYZ1307 I never said that I was recreating a real flight, did I? ...but KLM do operate direct flights to St. Marteen, Flight KL0785, Travel time: 8h 40min. from Amsterdam to St. Marteen. They can also take you to Paris, and you'll be on another flight operated by Air France that will take you to St. Marteen, flight time is 10h 40min... sometimes they fly to Curazao, drop passengers there and continue to St. Marteen then back to Amsterdam.

@chaer76 They don't operate direct flights from Schipol to St. Maarten. The runway is too short for a 747 loaded for a 9 hour flight. The 340-300's stop faster because they're way lighter, they can send 340's direct from Paris.

@KCBOYZ1307Why you are so sure? I'm afraid you are wrong, they do land the 747 safely in St. Marteen, take off is another story, forgot to say on my last comment, that most of the times, they plan a short flight to Curacao with enough fuel to get there, load the rest of the passengers from Curacao and the fuel needed for the trip and then head back to Amsterdam. Don't say that KLM doesn't send their 747 to St. Marteen, I have been there and seen it with my own eyes
