Online check-in

You can check in online via your mobile phone or computer. Check-in is available 30 hours before departure (24 hours before departure for flights to/from the USA) and the latest you can print your boarding pass is 2 hours before departure.

You can keep your boarding passes on your phone and present a QR code from your mobile phone screen at the airport.

The KLM mobile app is available at Google Play / App Store.

Seat selection

You can choose a specific seat on the aircraft at any time from the purchase of your ticket to online check-in. There is always a fee for selecting a specific seat, even during online check-in.

The amounts vary significantly by seat (front/back) and by route and range from 10 eur to 25 eur.

If you do not select a seat, you will be assigned one free of charge during check-in, but at random.

If there are more than one of you travelling on the same booking, the system will automatically seat you next to each other.
