Terrible Customer Service at Schiphol Airport by KLM in managing customer request for transfer of checked in luggage from KLM to Air India flight
Dear Sir/Madam We were passengers Miss Nripangana Saikia and Mrs Purabi Saikia having PNR XPNVFV and travelled on 22nd September 2025 from ARUBA to DELHI by Flight KL 765 (ARUBA to AMSTERDAM) and KL 871 (AMSTERDAM to DELHI). Upon arriving at Amsterdam we went to Terminal 2 Gate F6 as appeared in the KLM app however, we were denied boarding by Gate officials saying we were late to report at the Gate though we did not hear any announcement made that the last call was made for Boarding of KL 871 and therefore we missed the flight to Delhi and had to buy fresh air tickets from AMSTERDAM to DELHI for same day 23rd September 2025 and reported at transfer to enquire about our checked in luggage. We were asked to pay Euro 800 to get the our checked in baggage to be transferred from KLM to Air India logistics for our flight AI 156 from AMSTERDAM to DELHI and after showing our new air ticket and making payment we proceeded to board the flight Ai 156 but even after last minute cheking our luggage did not arrive and we had to take the flight Ai156 to Delhi without our checked in luggage which KLM ground staff should have already handed over to the Air India staff. We ask you to kindly arrange to rebook our luggage now from AMSTERDAM to DELHI and further to GUWAHATI as we have connecting flight on 24th September 2025 to GUWAHATI from DELHI.

Terrible Customer Service at Schphol airport. We paid Euro 800 to get our luggage transferred to Air India AI 156 flight but it was not done.
After paying Euro 800 for luggage transfer from KLM Airlines to Air India, the luggage did not arrive at in the Air India Flight and we had to board the flight leaving our luggage behind with no assurance and guarantee when or how KLM will return our luggage to us in India. We have money receipt issued by KLM Transfer officials but the luggage were not transferred to our Airlines though we showed our air tickets to the officer in the transfer desk, We missed our original KLM flight KL 871 from Amsterdam to Delhi and had to buy fresh Air India tickets. Passenger names Miss Nripangana Saikia and Mrs Purabi Saikia. We had arrived at Amsterdam from Aruba via KL 765 and had connecting flight to Delhi via KL 871 which we missed. After missing our flight We met the transfer KLM officials who asked us to show our new tickets to retrieve and transfer the luggage to the airlines whose tickets we purchased. We inquired in the boarding gate G6 at Sciphol Airport where the AI 156 was to board and our flight was scheduled at 8.40PM but ran 1 hour late but still till the time of boarding of A1 156, our luggage were not handed over by KLM to Air India Staff at Schiphol. Now we are travelling back to Delhi without our luggage even after paying Euro 800 to the KLM airlines at the transfer desk. Kindly respond back to ashok.saikia1967@gmail.com and nripanganasaikia@gmail.com Thanks Nripangana Saikia and Purabi SaikiaOverall

Pain inflicted by a KLM stewardess
Poor service Dear sir, I've tried numerous time on the KLM website to try and register a complaint. My booking reference : XIHHMO I flew from Leeds Bradfor on 09 September to JRO Kilimanjaro via Amsterdam. I returned on 19 September from JRO Kilimanjaro to Leeds Bradfor via. Amsterdam. I was in a partly of 3. On my outward journey one of our bags was delayed. This was not an issued as due to the short transfer time in Amsterdam I had scheduled an extra day stay in Moshi - Near the airport in case this problem occurred - The reason for our trip was to have a ceromany to spead the ashes of my later parent on the steps of Kilimanjaro. Unfortunately the KLM flight to JHRO Kilimanjaro on the 10th of September 2025 was cancelled - No reason was advised. This cause problem with the ceromany and other people who had taken time out for the spreading of my parents ashes. The Missing bag was eventually delivered to the gate of a game reserve on the 12th of September 2025. This caused a haft day loss in our plans as we had to travel approx. 40 KM to collect the bag. Main complaint. On the return flight KL 567 on the 19th of September 2025 after the fligh had left Dar on route to Amsterdam I was asleep in my seat 35K in the crash position (I am a largist person so my head was resting on the TV screen at the back of seat 34K. From what I could understand the seat 34K would not recline. A stewdess attempeted to make seat 34K recline. She did not wake me or request me to sit up. She forcefully rammed the seat backwards into my neck causing a very shaarp and severe pain in my neck. When I questioned her and requested her name I was told no names are provided. Due to the pain and total lack of concern by the stewardess my language my not have been the best. My daughter asked the stewardess for pain killings and was given 2 paracetoml but still none of the KLM crew asked how I was or showed any concerns. On arrival at Amsterdam after exiting the flight the security people at the transfer station saw my discumfert and asked if I need medical help - I had to decline as we only had 1 and 1/2 hours to get our next fligh. At a coffee station I was again asked if I need any medical help. I amases me that the crew of KL 567 had ZERO concern about my condition. I have spoken with the NHS in England am arranging to see a practisioner as I am still not happy with my neck. I am still in pain with my neck. -- Regards James C Rayner Personal - 07889 384013 Personal - Jcrayner@btinternet.comOverall

Thank you for this opportunity. Firstly, my flight over Wed 17 Sep was also already cancelled. the day prior and I had to take the 7:10am AMS - London CIty. But this claim is not for this. I let this slide. However, my Friday 19th 10am flight was cancelled the day prior again, and then I was put on the 7:45am flight from London City to Amsterdam. At 4:04am I was emailed to say my new flight was also cancelled. I had not seen this of course, as I was up at 5am to be at the airport at 6am, only to find this flght was also cancelled. I was put on the 5pm flight from Heathrow I think it was. I however, asked to be put on the 14:45 flight from Heathrow instead. It was a very stressful day for me with all the travel, the missed worked and new expenses face. WHat was also hard was my colleague that original booking was made with and who was scheduled on the original 10am flight, got put on a 8:45am flight that was ok, and for an unknown reason from our travel partner atpi, I was put on the 7:45am, that thus got cancelled. Thanks for this chance to explore compensation. I hope I have passed on enough evidence, or welcome to reach out to me Many thanks Oliver Hicks- London-Amsterdam

I had booked for a trip to my country (Nigeria) for a very important Family event happening on Tuesday 23/09/22 at about 13:00 hours in Enugu State Nigeria. My schedule was with KL1136 leaving Dublin @ 8:55 for Amsterdam and KL 587 Amsterdam to Lagos schedule for 14:35. I had all my plans made including my siblings that will pick me up at Murtala Muhammed Airport Lagos. However I received a sad email from KLM on Sunday 21st September 2025 that the flight is cancelled due to technical issues and that my flight has rebooked with KL 1138 slated to leave Dublin for Amsterdam at 11:10am on 22nd September 2025. Moreover, I travelled from Waterford to Dublin in the very early hours of 22nd September 2025 and received another email for cancellation/rebooking my flight for a different date Tuesday 23rd September 2025. This ugly news didn't only cause me mental stress but also threw my entire family in deep frustration since I will automatically miss the family event slated for tomorrow 23rd September 2025 @13:00. I did everything possible at Dublin Airport to convince the KLM Staff to organise/arrange a flight for me to travel today 22/9/25 following the need for my trip today but their efforts were not successful.- Dublin-Lagos

Subject: Compensation claim β flight cancellation due to strike (KLM) Booking reference: YFBXE5 Passenger Name: BorΓ³ka Luca Balla Flight number: KL0598 Travel Date: 16 September 2025 From: Cape Town (CPT) To: Amsterdam (AMS) Dear KLM Customer Care, I am writing to submit a formal claim under EU Regulation 261/2004 regarding the cancellation of my flight scheduled on 16 September 2025 from Cape Town (CPT) to Amsterdam (AMS), operated by KLM. Due to the cancellation and the subsequent rebooking, I reached my final destination with a delay of more than one full day. The new itinerary included an alternative route with a stopover, which significantly disrupted my travel plans and caused financial and personal inconvenience. According to public information and media sources, the cancellation was caused by a strike involving KLMβs own staff, which falls under the airlineβs control and does not qualify as an extraordinary circumstance exempting the airline from its obligations under EU261/2004. I am therefore requesting the following: - β¬600 compensation in accordance with Article 7 of EU261/2004, applicable for long-haul flights over 3,500 km with a delay of more than 4 hours (in this case more than 25 hours). - Reimbursement of expenses incurred due to the delay, including: 1) Accommodation: The BIG Luxury Backpackers β 1 night on the 15th of September 2025 β ZAR 1450 (approximately EUR 73) 2) Meal: ICONS restaurant - ZAR 225 (approximately EUR 11) 3) Transport: Train ticket from Schipol Airport to Brussels Central β EUR 44,90 My final destination was Brussels, where I had planned to continue my journey by train. However, due to the flight cancellation, I missed my original train connection and had to purchase a new ticket. Total reimbursement of expenses claimed: EUR 129 In summary, I am requesting EUR 600 in compensation under EU261/2004, as well as EUR 129 in reimbursement of expenses incurred due to the cancellation. I look forward to your prompt response and kindly request confirmation of receipt of this claim. I have attached all relevant receipts and tickets for your review.

Because the flight from Newcastle was delayed I couldn't get to Amsterdam in time to make the transfer and the flight for Hong Kong already left. The actual problem is that instead of getting there Sunday when my partner could pick me up from Airport because it would have a day off now I will get there Monday at 6am for the first time in China with no one to pick me up and it created a whole new series of problems because I can't get to her place, I will have to spend another 12h in the airport on top of the 14h that the flight was already delayed for- Newcastle-Hong Kong

I am writing regarding my return journey from Shanghai (PVG) to Split (SPU) on 15β16 September 2025. Unfortunately, my trip was heavily disrupted, and I would like to request compensation in line with EU passenger rights regulations. β’ My original itinerary was PVG β AMS β SPU, with an expected arrival in Split at 19:10 on 15.09.2025. β’ The departure from Shanghai (PVG) was delayed by 2 hours, and I arrived in Amsterdam (AMS) at approximately 20:55 instead of 19:10. Because of this, I missed my connecting flight to Split scheduled for 20:45. β’ I was provided with a hotel, shuttle, and a β¬15 meal voucher, but the airline did not provide any further information or explanation. β’ My onward travel was rebooked three times: 1. AMS β Frankfurt β Split (16.09.2025) β cancelled. 2. AMS β Belgrade β Split (16.09.2025) β the BelgradeβSplit leg was not operating. 3. AMS β Gothenburg β Split (16.09.2025) β finally completed. β’ I eventually arrived in Split on 16.09.2025 at 18:45, more than 23 hours later than scheduled. β’ Upon arrival in Split, my luggage did not arrive. It was left behind in Gothenburg and delivered to me only two days later. As a result, I reached my final destination with a significant delay and without my baggage. I kindly request: 1. Compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 for the delay in arrival at my final destination. 2. Reimbursement for the inconvenience caused by delayed baggage delivery. Please let me know the next steps and what documentation you require from my side. Thank you in advance for your prompt handling of this matter.- Shanghai-Split

Problems at airport
Complaint Regarding Flight Delay and Missed Connection Dear KLM Customer Service, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction regarding a significant delay on one of your flights, which caused me to miss my connecting flight and left me waiting at the airport for more than four hours. On agost 26, 2025, I was scheduled to travel on flight KL0686 from Mexico City to Basel, with a layover in Amsterdam. Due to a delay caused by your airline, I arrived late and consequently missed my connecting flight KL1947. As a result, I was forced to wait over four hours at the airport for the next available flight, which caused considerable inconvenience and disrupted my personal/professional plans. I am requesting appropriate compensation in accordance with Regulation (EC) 261/2004 (if applicable), along with a formal explanation of the delay and the measures your airline is taking to prevent similar incidents in the future. Attached are copies of my ticket, boarding pass, and any other relevant documentation supporting my claim. I would appreciate a prompt response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter. Sincerely, Mikaela Burbano YBGP26- Mexico City-Mulhouse

I was informed about the cancellation of my flight only in the morning of the travel day. In response to this situation, an alternative flight was arranged for me, however, I arrived at my home airport (GdaΕsk) around midnight, instead of the scheduled arrival time of 17:45. Additionally, I would like to point out that some of my colleagues were able to reach Amsterdam on the same day, using alternative flights. This raises concerns about the handling of my situation and the timeliness of the alternative arrangements made for me. Given the considerable delay and the inconvenience caused, I believe I am entitled to compensation in accordance with EU regulation EC 261/2004. I kindly request that you review my case and respond at your earliest convenience.- Aberdeen-Gdansk

Should have arrived 17.45 on the 16th of september, got delayed and missed the connecting flight. had to spend a night in Amsterdam. Arrived on the 17th of september at 19.00. We didnt get any specific reason for the delay, seems to have been a bunch of factors. Weather, KLM strike, other flights were delyed and that had an impact on our flight. We had already boarded when this info was provided to is. We missed out on a full day of our vacation, since the rebooked flight had a connecting flight aswell. There was no time to experience Amsterdam before we had to go to the airport.

Incorrect Flight Prices on Website & Cancellations
I have flown with KLM many times. Last time, my flight was cancelled and I was not notified. After spending hours on the phone, I was able to switch to an earlier, more direct flight. However, it forced me to take off more time from work and I was unable to check-in on my way home and ultimately had to go through extra security checks. I recently tried to book another flight with KLM, which seemed like a great deal, but I once again ran into an error when booking. I spent hours on the phone, just to be told the outbound flight was unavailable and they couldn't search for any comparable flights. The same flight with the price I wanted is still online. I would gladly buy the ticket at the listed price, but changing days would nearly double the price.Overall

The KLM station gave us new tickets for the next day but with a stopover in Paris, but we booked a direct flight. Also we have booked a hotel before in the city center of Amsterdam that costs 790 Euros(we canβt refund this also). In the airport at KLM station they didnβt offer any hotels where we can wait for our departure or lounge zone. We need to pay for everything from our own pocket. And wait for our flight more than 12 hours!!!!- Warsaw-Amsterdam
