Ticket options
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 €20 surcharge to issue paper tickets on an e-ticket route.
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.
Booking
E-tickets are booked just like any other ticket. When you choose a destination eligible for e-ticketing, this option will automatically be offered. E-tickets are currently available on more than 90% of all KLM-operated flights.
Confirmation
In place 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.
Check-in
