Is your KLM flight cancelled?

Did KLM cancel your flight?

Does your flight fall under Regulation 261/2004  and was it cancelled? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of time. This compensation can amount to up to €600 per person. We will be happy to tell you more about what your rights are and whether you are entitled to compensation.

When are you entitled to a compensation if your flight with KLM is cancelled?

• You are not entitled to compensation if you were informed more than two weeks in advance
• You are entitled to compensation if you are informed between 14 and 7 days before departure and you arrived more than 4 hours later
• You are entitled to compensation if you were informed 7 days or less before departure and you arrived more than 2 hours later.

You are only compensated if you were flying from an EU country, or from outside the EU tot a EU country with a European airline.

KLM should offer you a replacement flight

If your flight is cancelled, KLM must offer you a replacement flight. The above compensation schedule applies if you accept the alternative flight and then arrive earlier or later. You will then be compensated for the time difference.

Even if you were informed by KLM less than 2 weeks before the scheduled departure and you refuse the alternative flight, you are entitled to compensation. In addition, you must get a refund of your ticket costs.

What if KLM is not responsible for the cancellation?

In some cases, you are not entitled to compensation when your flight is cancelled. This is the case if the airline cannot be held responsible for the cancellation. Examples are cancellations because of bad weather conditions, terrorism, emergency landings and strikes conducted by non-KLM staff. We refer to these circumstances as extraordinary circumstances.

Within the EU:

• €250 compensation for a cancelled flight up to 1500 km
• €400 compensation for a cancelled flight between 1500 and 3500 km

For flight destinations outside the EU you are entitled to:

• €250 compensation for a cancelled flight up to 1500 km
• €400 compensation for a cancelled flight between 1500 and 3500 km
• €600 compensation for a flight exceeding 3500 km
