E-ticket information
E-tickets are rapidly becoming the industry standard and are now available to most destinations served by KLM and our partners. Paper tickets are still available on request, but there will be a EUR20 surcharge to issue paper tickets on an e-ticket route.
Please review all the applicable charges at the bottom of this page.
E-ticket advantages
- Fast. No need to pick up your ticket or wait for it in the mail. Once you’ve booked, you’re ready to go.
- Safe. Your e-ticket can’t be lost or stolen. It stays safely stored in our computer at all times.
- Simple. Just show identification to check in and you’re on your way.
Confirmation
In stead of a paper ticket, you’ll receive a “Trip Summary and Receipt” containing all important flight details and your e-ticket number. KLM (or your travel agent) will send this by e-mail, fax or post, depending on your country of residence. We recommend that you keep a copy of this with you while you travel. If an immigration officer asks to see a return ticket, your e-ticket confirmation must be shown.
