Speaking of which, Air France has adopted the “mini” fare concept – again, luggage in advance is €15, bookable online – but they also separate those who want luggage and miles into its own fare category. I on the other hand call shenanigans as its a way of the airline to raise revenue, in a vain attempt to fight the Low Cost Carriers who have been biting at Air France-KLM’s feet. KLM is dressing this up as paying for services you don’t need, and will attempt to reduce the headline fares.
Bags must also meet the dimentions of 55x25x35 cm – of face a €30 luggage charge at the gate. Hand Luggage will remain free (1 bag and 1 accessory), but will be strictly enforced at gate at the full 12KG. Or on an intercontinental KLM flight – including if you will be flying within Europe as part of an intercontinental journey. You are flying to Belarus, Georgia, Italy, Russia, Turkey or the Ukraine.You book a fully flexible ticket (booking class Y or B) within Europe.You are travelling on a corporate or a BlueBiz account.You are a Flying Blue member – Flying Blue Elite members too will be able to bring 1 suitcase for free.
