How to avoid KLM new baggage fees
The airline has just announced, as an enhancement, “providing more choice to passengers”, “the option to travel with just carry-on baggage or to check in baggage at a fee”
This applies to KLM European flights from 22nd April 2013
Of course, passengers have always had the choice! It’s just that they’ll now be charged for check-in bags, following the low cost or no frills airline model.
The charge is €15 each way – that’s around £26 extra per person per return journey for the first checked in baggage.
However, the following passengers will be exempt
NGO’s
All Flying Blue & BlueBiz members
Sky Team Elite Plus members
Corporate Contract holders
