Reservation fees
KLM does not charge any reservation fees for bookings made online, use klm.lt to book your flight!
Fuel Surcharge
The price of kerosene is currently high and subject to major fluctuations. Due to this, KLM needs to add a fuel surcharge to the ticket price of each flight in your journey. This surcharge is subject to developments in the oil market, and may differ per destination and the duration of the flight. The exact fuel charge per flight is always specified when booking your journey on KLM.com.
Security surcharge
The security surcharge amounts to € 5 per segment flown and is levied for insurance and security measures, as separately indicated on the ticket. Insurance premiums have risen considerably in conjunction with the increased risk of terrorist attacks. In addition, structural security measures are still being implemented in various processes onboard and at airports.
Credit card surcharge to compensate for rising costs
For the time being, KLM does not charge any credit card fees.
Airport Taxes
All airports charge airport taxes on airline tickets. The exact amount depends on the destination, and is detailed separately in the total price of the ticket.
Air passenger tax
The ticket tax was introduced by the Dutch government last year and was a compulsory levy on all passenger flights departing from the Netherlands. Now the government has announced that it will lift this tax as of 1 July 2009. KLM has decided to stop charging the tax to its passengers with immediate effect: The tax will no longer apply on flights leaving from 1 July 2009.
Passengers who have already purchased a KLM ticket that departs on or after 1 July 2009 will be refunded their ticket tax without being charged any administrative costs.
From today, passengers who book a ticket that departs on or after 1 July 2009 will not be charged ticket tax.
Passengers who book flights leaving before 1 July 2009 come under the former regulations and will still pay ticket tax.
