About our ticket prices

When booking online, we always show you the lowest priced fare type available. You can change it to a fare type with more benefits and other conditions (such as more baggage or flexibility to change your travel dates). This may result in a higher ticket price.

Our ticket prices displayed on klm.com include all taxes and surcharges:

  • Airport tax for all airports where you’ll depart, arrive, or transfer
  • Security surcharge to cover insurance and security measures
  • International surcharge imposed by the carrier

You can find your total ticket price, as well as a breakdown of the fare, taxes, surcharges, and extra fees, at various steps during your online booking. After booking, you can find it in your booking confirmation e-mail and in My Trip.

Booking fees

Booking fees are not included in the ticket price and are added during booking. A higher fee will be applied for bookings made via our KLM Customer Contact Centre or a KLM Ticket Office than for online bookings. The online booking fee differs per country; you don’t have to pay any online booking fees in most countries.
