Good unless you travel to Tenerife on a foggy day.

Same is true for PanAm I guess.

Once in the air OK but the ground staff is ignorant and arrogant.

My experiences in Amsterdam are excellent with the ground staff--couldn't be
more courteous and caring. At other airports, however, you might run into
subcontracted staff, who really don't know and don't care.

My first flight to Europe was on Air Transat. The flight ran late. The
food and service was awful. There was no leg room and I spent 8 hours
feeling like a sardine. On my next trip I paid almost 50% more to go
with KLM, expecting more comfort and better service. The food was just
as bad. The food service was worse. The seats were just as small and
cramped. On the next trip I went with Air Canada. We flew on schedule,
had good food, good service, seats were more comfortable and there was
more leg room. And it was cheaper than KLM.

My experiences and those of family members have all been at Schiphol, over
at least 5 occasions, none of them good!
We try and steer clear of them.

In what way experiences have been not so good ? For one and the same reason
or for different reasons ? You seem to be loyal to visiting the airport
anyways.
