“Cannot confirm seat reservations ”

Written on: 01/05/2013

I wrote to KLM asking if my reservation have been set in stone, to double check the company Opodo did their booking correctly. Delta have been fantastic in confirming everything, quick and efficient. However, KLM were very rude and told me, when it is booked through a 3rd party, they will not take the time to double check if they reservation has been successfully made, only after when it's expired, which defeats the purpose. So in other words, there is no way of checking on the system and... (read more)

“No customer service, only a joke”

Written on: 01/04/2013 by CptJ

KLM really has no customer service, let me explain. You have to go through hard to understand page after page to find a form to fill out (if you have a flying blue customer number), then they replay with a template "do not reply" e-mail." Then there is no way to go back on line and continue a thread on your complaint and have to redo it each time. Does this sound like a company that cares? I'm a Platinum Elite member of their "loyalty program," which appear to be only in one direction,... (read more)

How KLM is treating their favorite guests (my status is Platinum Elite Plus) I'm what they are calling a "frequent flyer", around every 6 weeks I fly from Europe to the Philippines plus some other flights inside Europe or sometimes to North America. In the past years I earned around 1 million miles by flying KLM, that's why they send me frequently letters&emails that I would be one of their most appreciated guests, they invited me for BBQ and gave me the illusion that they really...

Whenever I have travelled to the Far East, I have flown British Airways or Air Malaysia but thought that I would try KLM for a change. Each of the four flights, ABZ-AMS,AMS-KUL,KUL-AMS and AMS-ABZ took off late and landed late. In addition, my luggage did not arrive in KUL with me and neither did it arrive on my return to Aberdeen.

Good points: Were told by Birmingham Interational a day before departure that the flights were cancelled. Very happy not to have found out on the day of departure as we were leaving at 9.15am. Saved us a lot of stress. Not sure if this was thanks to KLM but whoever bothered to inform us made expedia and KLM look good.

Observed: On a flight from Amsterdam to South Africa (09-26-2012) the front cabin crew was very indifferent in their service and support of passengers - especially those with different backgrounds and first languages. Matters included one such passenger in business being lectured by the Captain about drinking too much before the airplane even departed.

Maybe it's because I have a fondness for Europe..but I liked KLM. I thought they were charming, in a humble and non-overexagerant kind of way. I had a flight with them from Amsterdam to London and it was fine. A couple of idiotic fellow passengers had the cheek to hold up the entire plane with their lateness, which resulted in the flight being 15 minutes late (with no compensation), but although this wasn't good for me or my fellow passengers, I thought it was a really decent thing of the...

Dissappointed in this airline. Tickets are expensive and they do not allow you to change the day of flight. My husband and I bought tickets to East Africa for about £1000 each!! soon after booking we realised we had got the return ticket wrong. We rang to change the date and they flatly refused saying that if you do not fly on those days you forfeit the ticket and the money!!!! Daylight robbers (read more)

That must be Delta who told you that since they handle customer service for KLM in US, and i can tell they the worst. If you can call KLM directly at Amsterdam then they will work on the issue. I was able work out the deal with Delta supervisor from 550 to 350 fees to change nonexchangeable ticket for KLM flight.

Please see my review on Kenya Airways..... but the main point of this post is that if you book a flight to an African destination with KLM, you'd be more than absolutely furious if you ended up on Kenya Airways (which is more than likely what will happen as KLM code share with Kenya Airway - the most terrible airline in the world). Just a warning for all the people out there who think that by booking with KLM they are getting a good European airline - probably not! Definitely worth checking!! (read more)

I hang around in the airport until it was time for boarding and proceed to the gate on the boarding ticket. I hear many announcements about changes to gates but nothing about my flight or to basel. I go to the gate counter and they look at my ticket and tell me that this is the wrong flight and that my flight is straight after theirs and so I should wait. I wait 10min only for one of them to approach me and tell me that this was the wrong gate and that I am suppose to be boarding from the gate next door. I go to that gate only to find that it was too late. The ironic this was I randomely went to this gate earlier to get them to track my checked in bag to see that it has been moving from country to country with me, only to be sent away as they were busy presumably trying to locate me via the intercom (I never heard my name called). At this point I am exhausted and distressed and start to cry. They get defensive and argue with me that it is my fault. They tell me to go to the service desk and that there is a flight 1hr.30min later. I walk for 15 min to the service desk only to be met with a very rude service desk lady who everytime I opened my mouth to explain to her my dilemma, she would yell at me and tell me that it was not her problem and non of what I am saying matters. To cut a long story sort they wanted me to pay for the ticket change even though it was not my fault. I ask to talk to the supervisor and they tell to go to departures. This meant I had to get out through customs and run around in circles to figure out where I am and where I need to go. After walking for another half an hour and asking a number of people for directions, I find the ticketing office who put me on a late flight out of amsterdam. So now I am sitting in the airport stuck, tired and very much out of pocket as I buy luch and use the interent trying to pass on the time.

I wonder when I read all the remarks and reviews on KLM. I'm a seasoned traveller, and I find that KLM is a reliable airline. Maybe ground staff at Schiphol could be a bit friendlier, but on board, the staff are always helpful. A delay on the ground anywhere in the world is a bummer, also losing your bags. But it's not always the fault of the airline. Think of the ground crew, who help logistically, and can easily misplace bags. It's then not the airlines fault, but ground services of the...

Completely agree. A recent bad experience left me appalled at the treatment I received from the ground staff (customer service dept in particular). Couldn't-care-less-attitude, she actually shrugged her shoulders at me and said they didn't have to do anything. Refused to get her supervisor and refused to give me her name. I was speechless! KLM had moved me to a later flight as they had overbooked the flight I was booked on. This meant I missed my connection and ended up with a 14 hour delay to get the next connection. Terrible airline - never again!!

I'm sorry, but the rules are the rules. Check the weight of your luggage before you get on, because they charge if you go over. Hand luggage also has weight restrictions. That experience was of your own making i'm afraid. You're not above the rules, did you think they should just let you off? If they let 200 passengers off for the same incident, that's 1000 pounds added to the plane.

My story with KLM is quite long so I won't write it here. However I think you can draw your conclusions as to what happened by reading the following tips: When booking a flight with KLM - DO NOT assume that your flight will actually leave and that you will be able to get to your destination. Do NOT assume that you will be rebooked and get to your destination on time - or even in the next 24 hours, or the next days. Do not assume that the flight you are actually rebooked to won't take...

First time booking with KLM and I have to say I am disappointed and angry at how they treat customers and how much their workers know about their own flights! They have a really attitude problem! First I was told my flights can be changed and if not I can claim back my full price from insurance But now they decided to say that it's not possible and neither can I claim off insurance because its not their problem!

I found this review very helpful because...it is exactly what happened to my nervous 18 year old daughter who is currently stranded in Amsterdam. Very rude, unhelpful customer service (Ha joke!) who lied.
