I regret to learn of this unfortunate experience. I truly understand how frustrating this must have been. We work hard to ensure our passengers receive their luggage timely, and unfortunately, this was not the case during your travel. I kindly invite you to contact my colleagues via any of our Social Media channels (Messenger, WhatsApp, Twitter, or WeChat) and recount your experience so that proper attention may be given to this. KLM values the overall satisfaction of every passenger. I offer my sincere apologies for any inconvenience and I hope that, despite what happened, you will still consider us for your future travels so that we may be able to serve you better.

I was booking a flight but the confirmation never came to my email. I called KLM customer service and a person told me that the price had increased. I wanted to charge 500 dls more, and on the KLM page I kept seeing the same price that I had bought, so I asked how it was possible that they would raise the price of a ticket that I had already bought. Which gave me two options, cancellation and refund, which would lose 400 dollars in taxes or pay the 500 more dollars and keep the flight. Which I told him to cancel my reservation and he threatened me saying that he was going to put me on a blacklist and that I could not fly with any of the airlines in the skyteam group and hung up on me. He treated me with a very rude aptitude, he wanted to steal 500 dollars from me. I hope KLM takes action on the matter.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I regret to learn of the series of unfortunate events you experienced and I truly understand how frustrating this must have been. Our passenger's experience is very important to us and what you have conveyed runs counter to what we expect from our staff and services. Please do note that booking classes have limited availability and ticket prices thus depend on this availability. The availability can change significantly from day to day and from flight to flight, which means that the ticket prices of a specific flight can increase or decrease drastically. This being the case, I kindly invite you to contact my colleagues via any of our Social Media channels (Messenger, WhatsApp, Twitter, or WeChat) and relay your experience so that proper attention may be given to this. There may be instances wherein my colleagues may take some time to get back to you due to high volumes, but they always do. KLM values the overall satisfaction of every passenger, and please know that it's never our intention to displease you in any way. I offer my sincere apologies for any inconvenience. I thank you for your time and kindly be advised that this will be noted as we always try to improve the services we provide based on passenger's feedback. I hope that despite what occurred, you will still consider us for your future travels.

Its been 3 months and no resolution yet.

I cannot believe the sheer and utter incompetence to resolve what is nothing short of the airlines fault.

If you look at your camera footage at the check in at Schiphol Airport on the 31st Dec 2022, you will notice that I was required to place a designer luggage bag with its contents into another bag as check in luggage and to pay for the over weight item as extra baggage because of weight and other baggage restrictions.

This bag has never been returned to me, up until now I have not received a positive word on it nor its contents.

All my gifts, personal items, clothing, toiletries and items bought whilst traveling that was in that bag together with the bag itself has not been returned to me.

Herewith are all the reference numbers that were given to me, either telephonically or via the app.

I have three different AHL reference number:
C-6031518
C-5997491
C-5942783

I regret to learn of this unfortunate experience. I can understand that this was not how you expected your journey to go, and I truly understand how frustrating this must have been. We also work hard to ensure our passenger's baggage is received in a timely manner and properly handled, and it's unfortunate this was not the case during your travel. However, as much as I would like to address this matter on this page, you would be better served by our colleagues through our social media channels (Messenger, WhatsApp, Twitter, or WeChat). Kindly provide them the link of our discussion here in TripAdvisor so that our Representative can look into it at as well and further assist you.

Nevertheless, I extend our apologies for any inconvenience this experience has caused you. Thank you and safe travels.

I flew with KLM in 2000 and had the worst flying experience of my life. After 23 years I tried them again. I want to give credit where credit is due. This flight had the best flight crew I have ever seen. 287 passengers - 120 special order meals. The crew was hopping and handled it all with grace and smiles. Annette (not sure of spelling) has a smile that can light up a room, or in this care, a whole plane! Thanks for the great service and friendly smiles!

This flight from Taipei had a stopover in Seoul (ICN) to pick up passengers, before continuing onto to Amsterdam, then Toronto. We ended up with a couple of mechanical issues during that stopover that resulted in the flight getting cancelled.

Those who newly joined from Seoul were allowed off the plane and escorted out of the airport. The rest of us that started the journey from Taipei were held by immigration procedures for over 6 hours, despite some of us having K-etas.

The exemplary crew told us they would not leave us until we were through this junction. They did all they could to continually expedite things, even provided water and food from the plane and later directly involved the Station Manager.

If it were not for them, a number of us (myself included) would have missed our newly rescheduled flights, as there was no prioritization. At that point, we still had to officially exit the airport (enter South Korea), pick up luggage, re-check in, go through security, then proceed to gate.

None of us, including the flight crew had ever experienced a situation of this length before. The Purser and flight attendents went above and beyond, advocating for us passengers that day and I cannot Thank them enough. Thank you!!!
