Hand baggage for children under two years of age
You are permitted to take one piece of hand baggage on board your flight for children under two years of age who do not have their own seat. The maximum dimensions of this piece of baggage are 55 x 35 x 25 cm, and it may not exceed 10 kg in weight. You can also bring a small, collapsible buggy with you as hand baggage, provided that it will fit under the seat in front of you or in the overhead baggage compartment. Otherwise, the buggy can be checked into the hold free of charge.
KLM Partner Airlines
The baggage policy of some KLM partners may differ from the aforementioned regulations. Please contact your travel agent or the relevant airline for information on the relevant baggage policy.
On flights operated by KLM cityhopper, you may be requested to hand in your hand baggage upon boarding the aircraft due to limited storage space in the cabin. Flying Blue Elite members will always be permitted to take one piece of hand baggage (with max. dimensions 55 x 35 x 25 cm) onto these flights.
