Didn’t book via KLM?

Unfortunately, you cannot use our online refund system you booked via a travel agent. We advise contacting your ravel agent first, as they have all needed information to arrange your refund. You can find contact details on their website. If you prefer, you can also contact us directly to help arranging your refund.
