Taking extra baggage
You can now arrange your extra baggage at a 20% discount when you check in online and get your journey off to a relaxed start. If you would like to take excess baggage with you, this can be arranged at the airport too.
Please note:
If you travel in Economy Class between Europe (including Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia) and the United States or Canada, you may bring only 1 piece of check-in luggage, of max. 23 kg (50.5 lbs). You can arrange for a second piece for a fee of EUR 50 when departing from Europe. When checking in online via KLM.com, you pay less. All you need is a credit card. If you depart from the United States, you pay USD 50, or CAD 50 when leaving Canada. Of course, you can also arrange for a second piece at the airport of departure. As a Flying Blue Silver, Gold or Platinum member, you may bring 2 pieces free of charge.
If you will be departing from Australia, Canada, Cyprus, The Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany (Berlin, Munich or Frankfurt), Hungary, Ireland, Libya, Luxembourg or Peru, you can only arrange your extra baggage at the airport at the regular excess baggage fee.
Our excess baggage fees apply to flights operated by KLM, Air France, Northwest Airlines and Kenya Airways, including connecting flights on an aircraft belonging to a different airline. If your flight is operated by another airline, we advise you to check with your travel agent or direct with the airline concerned, as excess baggage charges may differ.
