Policies vary, depending on the type of ticket you purchase. Read the Ticket conditions before checking out to understand the risk upfront. You can usually choose between these ticket types:
Light. No cancellations or changes are allowed.
Standard. No cancellations are allowed, but you can modify your ticket for an extra fee.
Flex. You can modify your ticket without penalty, and you can cancel if needed for an extra fee.
Most tickets can be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase without penalty, regardless of ticket type.
When's the next sale?
You'll likely find the best KLM sales and discount codes around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But if your destination is flexible, you can find the lowest rates on its Deals page all year round.
Traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic
With infection rates rapidly spiking nationwide, expect stronger travel restrictions as the holidays near. The CDC strongly advises postponing travel and staying close to home to avoid getting or spreading COVID-19.
If you plan to travel during the pandemic, monitor and understand the risk assessment levels for your destination when planning your trip, before departure and on arrival. Follow safety measures that include wearing a mask in public settings, maintaining social distancing and washing your hands. If you are diagnosed, have symptoms of or are waiting for test results for COVID-19 — or are otherwise at risk of illness — do not host, attend gatherings or travel for 14 days. Note that the CDC warns against cruise travel at this time.
Book flights to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo and other cities in Japan with ANA, Air Canada, China Airlines, China Eastern, Xiamen Air, Singapore Airlines, Air China and other airlines.
$20 discount on (1) international flight departing from the United States or Canada and arriving anywhere EXCEPT the United States, Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean. New users only.
$20 discount on (1) flight departing from China (including Hong Kong), South Korea, Japan, Vietnam or India and arriving in the United States or Canada. New users only.
Under these policies, you can change your flight once without any fees, as long as you travel within the departure dates specified by the individual airline policy.
Not really. KLM doesn't have its own branded rewards program, but it does have Flying Blue, a group of tiered American Express credit cards that let you earn miles and perks with every purchase.
Check to make sure it's valid and applicable to the details of your reservation, including departure and arrival locations and dates. Contact KLM directly for help using a specific code.
