  • Is your new travel date 30 days before or after your original travel date? Then you can rebook for free within the same travel class (Economy Class or Business Class). However, outside of the period mentioned above, a fare difference might apply.
I tried calling the KLM US toll free number and the agent would absolutely not waive the fare difference for our ticket from BUD-AMS-ATL-STX even though we have found dates with availability in the same fare class - i.e. "I".

Do you guys have any tips on how to proceed? Our original departure date is scheduled for next week...
Have u got any cancelled Legs? I assume not, right?

I'd suggest to wait and skip the flight.
I wonder what happens then. Either they will rebook you without any problems without fare difference or you'll be able to get a 100% refund.

Unfortunately I'll have to try the same as I got no cancelled legs.

Is there probably any1 here who had exact that situation before?
