KLM Royal Dutch Airlines recently announced plans to expand its trans-Atlantic network with direct service from Portland (PDX), Oregon, to Amsterdam (AMS). Marking KLM’s 21st direct destination in North America, service begins Oct. 27, and take off three times weekly in winter and five times per week in summer.
These flights replace Delta Air Lines’ service on this route; Delta has flown between Amsterdam and Portland for 15 years and is a partner in the trans-Atlantic joint venture with KLM. Portland has strong tourism as a year-round destination offering natural beauty like Mt. Hood, Columbia River Gorge and Forest Park, alongside a strong culinary scene and business presence.
When service starts in October, KLM will depart Portland Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, before moving to Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday in summer. Flights will depart on Boeing 787-9 aircraft with 30 World Business Class, 21 Premium Comfort Class and 224 economy class seats.
Winter flights leave PDX at 1:25 p.m. local time and arrive the next day at 7:50 a.m. in Amsterdam, then departing AMS at 10:25 a.m. before arriving in Portland at 11:25 a.m. The schedule timing will adjust slightly come summer.

May 28, 2025Williamsburg Inn Review
You don’t have to love brass chandeliers or brocade to appreciate what Williamsburg Inn does best: delivering a polished, unpretentious stay amid America’s most iconic living history museum. This is where you check in for traditional luxury without feeling like you’re trapped in a time capsule. The Queen stayed here (twice), and so did Eisenhower, but you’re not here to make history. You’re here to enjoy it, on your own terms.

May 27, 2025Plan a Legendary Gathering in Honolulu
Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.
