KLM Royal Dutch Airlines' policies regarding missed flights, commonly referred to as "no-show" situations, are as follows:
Automatic Cancellation: If a passenger fails to board a scheduled flight without prior notice, KLM may classify this as a "no-show." This could lead to the cancellation of subsequent segments of the itinerary, including return or connecting flights.
Refundable Tickets: Passengers with refundable tickets who miss their flight may be eligible for a refund, subject to the fare rules associated with their ticket.
Non-Refundable Tickets: For non-refundable tickets, refunds are generally not permitted. However, passengers may have the option to rebook their flight, potentially incurring rebooking fees and any fare differences.
Protected Transfers: If your connecting flights are booked with KLM or its partner airlines, your transfer is protected. In the event of a missed connection, KLM will rebook you on the next available flight at no additional cost.
Unprotected Transfers: If your connecting flights are with different airlines not partnered with KLM, your transfer is not protected. In such cases, if you miss your connecting flight, you will need to arrange alternative transportation at your own expense.
Review Fare Conditions: Before booking, carefully examine the fare rules associated with your ticket to understand flexibility and potential penalties for changes or cancellations.
Contact KLM Promptly: If you anticipate missing your flight or have already missed it, reach out to KLM as soon as possible to discuss your options. Prompt communication may help minimize additional charges or facilitate rebooking.
Consider Travel Insurance: Purchasing travel insurance that covers missed departures can provide additional protection and compensation in such situations.
