Favourable flight schedules

Make the most of your trip with convenient departure and arrival times – fly to your destination at a decent hour. Our flights fit your schedule, not the other way around.

Would you like to think a bit longer about your purchase without worrying the price might go up? For a small fee, you can also choose to take an option on a flight. We’ll guarantee the price, so you can decide later.

We’ll keep you informed

From the moment you book your ticket until you board your flight, we’ll let you know right away if your flight is delayed or disrupted or if your gate changes.

Disruption? We got your back

Is your flight disrupted? You can count on us. We’ll inform you right away by phone or e-mail of the flight change or cancellation. Next, we’ll immediately get to rebooking you on the first available flight. The moment we find a free spot, we’ll contact you again about your new flight schedule. Naturally, we’re here to help if you want to change to a different flight or if you have any other questions.

If your new flight doesn’t depart the same day, we won’t let you fend for yourself. From a cup of coffee to a hotel stay, we are serious about making you comfortable.

24/7 service on social media

Questions, requests, or don’t want to miss out on what we’re up to next? We’re here for you around the clock, in 10 languages, and on the channel of your choice.

We value your feedback

Throughout your journey, your experience is what counts! We let independent research agencies conduct surveys to find out what you think of us and our services. Based on your feedback, we evaluate and try to improve our services. Your personal data will never be used for commercial offers or mailings unless you’ve given us your explicit permission.

After your flight or after contacting our KLM Customer Contact Centre, you may receive an invite for 1 of our surveys:

Satisfaction and Service Conformity surveys (by Kantar and Qualtrics)

Contact Centre Evaluations (by BVA and MediaTech)

We also participate in studies executed by third parties such as IATA and Schiphol. Additionally, we run several ad hoc studies with agencies such as Beautiful Lives, CSpace, Miles Research, Insites Consulting, Added Value and others.
