KLM is expanding its American network with the launch of a new direct flight service between Amsterdam and Austin, Texas with effect from 4 May 2020.

The three-weekly service will operate on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays using an Airbus A330-300 offering 292 seats including 30 World Business Class seats, 40 Economy Comfort seats and 222 Economy class seats.
