Special meals
When health, medical or religious reasons require you to follow a certain diet, you can request a special meal. Depending on the type of meal, these can be ordered up to 24 or 36 hours before departure. Contact KLM Reservations to make your request. Or go to 'Manage My Booking' to request your special meal.
Are you allergic to nuts or peanuts?
Our meals contain no whole peanuts, no ground peanuts and no peanut butter. Even taking these measures, however, will not be enough to prevent certain allergic reactions from occurring among people with an allergy to peanuts. This is why we are unable to give this particular group of people any guarantee that our products are 100% free of any traces of peanuts. Other kinds of nuts, however, can sometimes be found in our meals.
