FAQ
Can I buy extra baggage online after booking?
Yes. KLM offers extra baggage purchase in My Trip on the website and in the KLM mobile app.
Where do I buy extra baggage?
Open KLM My Trip, retrieve the booking with the booking code and last name, and then select the baggage option for the itinerary.
When should I buy extra baggage?
Buy at least 24 hours before departure for the best published rates. Within 24 hours of departure, KLM applies a higher excess baggage fee, and the live amount is shown in My Trip or the app during the baggage purchase flow.
How many extra bags can I buy, and what are the bag limits?
KLM allows up to 10 pieces of checked baggage per passenger, but asks passengers to contact the KLM Customer Contact Centre for more than 3 bags. The maximum size is 300 cm total dimensions, with a maximum weight of 23 kg in Economy or Premium Economy and 32 kg in Business Class.
How does KLM calculate extra baggage charges?
KLM prices extra baggage by route and destination. The cited page publishes a Europe band of EUR 20-70 per bag and an intercontinental band of EUR 30-240 per bag.
What happens if my bag is too heavy or too large?
If your bag is heavier than 32 kg or larger than 300 cm in total dimensions, KLM says it cannot travel as regular checked baggage and must be sent through KLM Cargo. KLM does not show a separate fixed public overweight or oversized surcharge on the cited page.
Are there any loyalty or status exceptions?
Flying Blue Ultimate and Platinum members can get 2 extra pieces free on KLM and Air France flights, while Flying Blue Gold and Silver members can get 1 extra piece free.
