US to AMS to DEL

17 hrs of flying time and 5 hrs of waiting time in Schipol with a 2 1/2 year old for the first time in my life. Gives one a new appreciation for ones parents. It is both terrifying at times (when she loses it) and gratifying when some mundane distraction you dreamed up keeps her occupied for 45 mins (like sipping from a straw)...She was generally good with about 2 to 3 really challenging hours when she was cranky and (seemingly) claustrophobic.

The KLM attendants are useless and a bit racist. They treat Indians very badly. One lady from the UK travelling alone with two kids was in tears. Baby had a 103 fever and threw up on her. Not a single KLM employee helped her. I noticed her predicament and went over to help. Later one of the male pursers came over and helped her clean up.....the women of KLM couldnt give a shit.
