KLM Seat Selection for Non-Flying Blue Members
Traveling with KLM can be a delightful experience, but understanding the seat selection process—especially for non-Flying Blue members—can sometimes be confusing. KLM offers various fare types and benefits based on membership status, which can impact how and when you can select your seats. This blog will clarify the seat selection options available to non-Flying Blue members, including any associated fees.
Understanding KLM's Fare Types
KLM’s fare structure generally includes several categories, each with different rules regarding seat selection:
- Economy Light: This is the most basic fare option. Passengers booking this fare do not have the option to select a seat in advance without paying a fee. Seat selection must be made at check-in or assigned randomly.
- Economy Standard: This fare allows passengers to select their seats during the booking process without additional charges. This is a good option for those who want to ensure they sit where they prefer.
- Economy Flex: Similar to Economy Standard, this fare type includes complimentary seat selection and offers more flexibility in terms of changes and cancellations.
- Business Class: Passengers traveling in Business Class can choose their seats at no extra cost, regardless of their Flying Blue status.
Seat Selection Fees for Non-Flying Blue Members
For non-Flying Blue members, seat selection fees depend on the fare type purchased:
- Economy Light: No free seat selection is available. Passengers must pay a fee to select a seat in advance or wait until check-in when a seat will be assigned at no charge.
- Economy Standard and Economy Flex: Free seat selection is included in these fares, allowing non-members to choose their preferred seats without incurring extra costs.
- Business Class: As mentioned, all seats are included in the fare.
