What is the check-in deadline for your KLM flight?

When traveling on separate tickets, it's often wise to build in a lot of extra time for the connection. If your first flight is delayed or cancelled and you miss the second flight, you might be forced to buy a very expensive walk-up fare for a subsequent flight (or cancel your trip entirely).

If there are delays with the bus transfer, you can always take a taxi from T8 to T4.
Hi Guv1976
If I go with my current itinerary I will check in online for my KLM flight and will not check any baggage.
However I guess you are right that even though 2 hours is feasible, it's very risky because those are separate tickets. I am still debating but I will probably change to an earlier flight with AA
