Get to Know Your KLM Baggage Allowance

Before you set foot in the airport, it is a great idea to know how much baggage you can take on your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight. According to your trip and ticket class, you are allowed to take one or two checked baggage items most of the time. Please check with KLM baggage fees to avoid any last-minute shocks.

For flights abroad, you're normally given a pretty generous KLM international baggage allowance, but size and weight restrictions abound—and overpacking could mean some unwelcome extra fees, not exactly the best experience, eh?
