Choose your ticket

Our ticket options allow you to find the ideal ticket to fit your travel needs. We offer 3 ticket options for travelling in Economy Class on most routes: Light, Standard, and Flex. On select routes, we also offer our Basic ticket option. Next to that, you can also choose to travel in Premium Comfort Class or Business Class.

Are you booking an Economy Class trip with multiple destinations via klm.com? In that case, we can only offer you a Light ticket.

Ticket conditions

Note that the exact ticket conditions may vary per flight and per airline. You’ll see the conditions that apply to your specific flight when booking online. After booking, you can find them in your booking confirmation e-mail and in My Trip.

Depending on your ticket conditions, it's sometimes possible to change your flight. Note, though: if you have to pay a change fee and/or fare difference, we may charge this in the local currency. The amount charged is equivalent to the amount in EUR or USD, based on the currency exchange rate.
