Check-in time
Passengers are asked to arrive well in time before departure at KLM’s check-in location and boarding gate, no later than the time as indicated by KLM. Check-in times vary per airport. Also, check-in times may vary if your flight is being operated by a partner airline; please check the corresponding websites for correct check-in times. You will find the operating airlines on your booking confirmation. If passengers do not check in or arrive at the boarding gate on time, KLM is entitled to cancel the space reserved for the passengers.
