Special Conditions

Special Conditions form part of the General Conditions of Carriage. Special Conditions contain the applicable rules that arise from local laws and regulations and that apply specifically in a particular country or region. Special Conditions may therefore deviate from the General Conditions of Carriage. You are expected to always read both the General Conditions of Carriage and the applicable Special Conditions of the country or region where you book your ticket.

You can book flights for a maximum of 9 passengers (adults and children) per booking. Each adult may accompany an infant traveling on their lap.

Your booking is confirmed when you receive a booking reference. A confirmation e-mail containing all of the details of your booking will also be sent to the e-mail address you provided.

Keep in mind that, in accordance with the provisions of the EU regulation, the customer's right to withdrawal does not apply to airline tickets.

Fares quoted include all taxes, except where taxes are collected locally at the airport. Fares are only guaranteed when you have a booking reference.

To pay online, you need a debit or credit card. The payment will be debited immediately from the card by KLM. In some countries, you can use other payment methods, such as bank transfer, Apple Pay, or local payment methods.

Payment is fully secured by encryption conforming to the highest industry standards.

For KLM tickets bought by travelers travelling from or to Colombia, the following articles replace the same articles from our General Conditions of Carriage:

4.2 Fees, Taxes and Charges

All fees, taxes, or charges imposed by governments, by any other authorities or by the airport operator shall be paid by the Passenger. When making a Reservation for their Ticket, Passengers will be informed of said fees, taxes, or charges, which will be charged in addition to the Fare Excluding Tax and which, in most cases, will be shown separately on the Ticket. These fees, taxes, and charges may be created or increased by a government, another authority, or by an airport operator, after the Reservation date. In this case, the Passenger must pay the corresponding amount. Inversely, if the fees, taxes, and charges are reduced or abolished, the Passenger may be refunded for the reduced or abolished amounts. As soon as a Passenger has a paid and received a Ticket then aforementioned fees, taxes and charges will not be charged or deducted.

8.2 Passengers must arrive sufficiently in advance of the flight in order to be able to carry out all necessary formalities for their journey; in any event, they must comply with the Check-In Deadline. Should the Passenger fail to do so or should the Passenger not present all the documents allowing them to be checked-in and therefore be unable to travel, the Carrier may cancel Passenger’s Reservation and seat reserved for such Passenger, without resulting in additional obligations for the airline.

8.3 Passengers must be present at the boarding gate prior to the boarding time specified at check-in. The Carrier shall be entitled to cancel a Passenger’s Reservation and seat reserved for such Passenger if the Passenger is not present at the boarding gate at the latest by the boarding time specified to the Passenger, without resulting in additional obligations for the airline.

14.4 The Carrier shall refuse to grant a refund:

(a) For any Ticket, if the request is made after expiry of the Ticket’s validity period.

(b) For a Ticket which meets the legislative or regulatory requirement to possess a Ticket that enables the Passenger to leave the country, unless such Passenger provides sufficient proof to establish that they are authorized to reside in said country or that they will leave using another Carrier, or by any other means of carriage.

(c) For a Ticket, in case the holder is not admitted by the authorities of the Place of Destination, Agreed Stopping Place or Stopover, and if the Passenger was returned to their boarding point or to any other destination for this reason.

(d) For a stolen, forged or counterfeit Ticket.

(e) For Passengers who did not comply with the conditions as stated in Article 8, excluding the cases stipulated in section 3.10.2.25.1 of the RAC.

(f) For Passengers that are refused Carriage by the Carrier pursuant to Article 9.1 (f), (i) or (k), Article 9.2, Article 9.3 or Article 9.4.
