TRIP REPORT: KLM Boeing 747 (Economy) Amsterdam-Toronto

In October 2016, I was looking for flights to Amsterdam (from Toronto Pearson). After browsing Google Flights and Skyscanner, I found a flight to Amsterdam via Reykjavik Keflavik for under $500 CAD Roundtrip. I've always been intrigued to fly with Icelandair because of the Iceland stopover program, the in-flight entertainment (IFE) and the competitive low fares to Europe. Check In at Toronto Pearson Icelandair does not have a mobile app for checking in and/or mobile boarding
