Cash refund
How to request a refund
You can request a cash refund for the unused part of your trip via our online refund system. This system checks if you’re eligible for a full cash refund or only part of it. You can also give us a call, but please note that a fee may be charged.
Your request will be processed within 7 days. Keep in mind that all flights in your booking will be cancelled as soon as you request a refund. If your flight is scheduled in the future, we kindly ask you to apply for a refund on time. Otherwise, our cabin crew might still expect you on board, which could delay the boarding process for other passengers.
Didn’t book via KLM?
Unfortunately, you cannot use our online refund system if you booked via a travel agent. We advise contacting your travel agent first, as they have all the information needed to arrange your refund. You can find contact details on their website. If you prefer, you can also contact us directly to help arranging your refund.
