If my flight is delayed or cancelled, will I be notified?
Yes, but because of the high volumes, it could happen that you receive push messages with a delay. This is why we advise you to keep an eye on the flight status tracker.
Will my upcoming flight be cancelled?
Around the world, various prevention measures have been taken by local authorities. The type and impact of these measures vary. Although not everything is in our hands, we try to minimise the impact of these measures on our flight schedules.
We advise you to keep an eye on the flight status tracker.
I can’t change my booking online, what to do?
In most cases, you can change your flight via My Trip if you booked via KLM.
Encountering problems there? Please follow these steps:
1. Check if you’re not checked in If you already checked in, you need to check out again before you can change your flight. You can undo your check-in via the check-in page.
2. Check if your ticket number starts with 074 Your ticket number starts with a different number if you booked via a different airline. Unfortunately, we cannot change these bookings, so we advise you to contact the concerning airline or your travel agent.
