it is indeed correct that KLM will start charging our passengers for bringing check-in baggage on our European flights. Offering baggage as a paid option, allows KLM to remain competitive with low entry levels. KLM will expand the 99EUR return offer from Amsterdam to even more European destinations. KLM wants to offer customers the opportunity to adapt their travel to suit their personal needs. The paid option baggage is one way of doing this, alongside the introduction of other paid options; Economy comfort, extra legroom, Paid upgrade and lounge access. KLM will ask Economy class passengers to pay for their check-in baggage on European flights. Already in Europe 35% of the KLM European passengers travel ‘light’ with hand baggage only. KLM wants to offer choice and an option not to pay for baggage if passengers do not use this option.
