About KLM - Royal Dutch Airlines

KLM has its main international hub at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) and is the flag carrier airline of The Netherlands. It is part of the Air France- KLM Group and shares the Flying Blue loyalty programme with its French sister airline.

Like Air France, KLM is a member of the SkyTeam global airline alliance, alongside operators such as Delta Air Lines, Alitalia, Air China, Aeroflot and Korean Air.

KLM is the oldest passenger airline in the world that is still operating under its original name. It’s full name in English is KLM - Royal Dutch Airlines, a combination of an abbreviation and a translation of its full name in Dutch, Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij, which literally translates as Royal Aviation Company. Founded in 1919, after World War 1, today KLM serves around 150 destinations across the globe.

Sharp eyed travellers may occasionally spot aircraft, featuring the traditional KLM blue livery, but branded as KLM Asia. This is a wholly owned subsidiary registered in Taiwan. KLM Asia was established in 1995 as a way for KLM to serve the growing demand for flights to Taipei, without politically compromising KLM’s extensive slot permissions for airports in China. KLM Asia aircraft sometimes operate on routes owned by their parent company. As well as a slightly different KLM logo, these planes also can be identified by the lack of Dutch national symbols within their livery.

With typical Dutch straightforwardness, KLM has simplified its cabin classes. It offers Economy Class on all flights, Europe Business Class on all European routes and World Business Class on transcontinental flights.

About Flying Blue

Flying Blue is the name of the loyalty programme KLM shares with its sister airline Air France. Other airlines within Flying Blue include Transavia, KLM Asia, Kenya Airways, TAROM and Aircalin.

Flying Blue members earn “Miles” every time they fly on KLM - Royal Dutch Airlines or other participating airlines. Miles can also be earned from a selection of retail, lifestyle and financial services partners. These include the global American Express Membership Rewards programme. Miles can be redeemed with selected partners too, or for travel perks such as upgrades and extra baggage allowance. However, the greatest value can be obtained by spending them on reward flights.

Flying Blue incorporates four status tiers. Explorer is the entry level tier, followed by Silver, Gold and Platinum. Gold and Platinum members get SkyTeam Lounge access, for themselves and a guest. The other benefits for members also increase with each subsequent tier. The number of Flying Blue Miles earned for every Euro spent also increases with the tiers.

Status levels within Flying Blue are determined by the number of Flying Blue XP (Experience Points) members earn over their qualifying period, normally 12 months from the date they joined Flying Blue. The number of XP gained for each flight depends on the ticket type purchased, distance flown and cabin class. XP are awarded for eligible flights taken with KLM, Air France, KLM, SkyTeam alliance members and other partner airlines.

Qualifying airlines within the SkyTeam alliance include Delta Air Lines, Alitalia, Korean Air, Air China, China Eastern and Aeroflot. Virgin Atlantic is also an Air France-KLM partner airline. Transavia flights don’t qualify for XP, even though Transavia is a Flying Blue participant.

Members need to earn 100 XP to qualify for Silver, 180 XP for Gold and 300 XP for Platinum, within their qualifying period. However, Gold and Platinum members can only be relegated one level, if they don’t earn enough XP to retain their existing status, over the qualifying period.

Well worth the handful of quid a month to get the flights you really want with their Alert service. Have used it multiple times with success!

We have now booked three holidays using the world search as we know the dates we can fly around school term dates and then it's just a matter of deciding where in the world we fancy going! Brilliant!
