What is KLM Group Travel?

Group Travel is a service that allows you to book airline tickets for large groups (10 or more people) traveling together on at least one flight with a common itinerary, or any combination of airlines in KLM Group Travel’s Partner Network. Group Travel is available to passengers flying on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flights as well as on flights from partner airlines, such as Air France and Delta Air Lines. The primary benefits of KLM Group Travel include requesting personalized pricing quotes, booking discounted “group fares,” following flexible booking policies, and receiving dedicated assistance during your group travel experience.

KLM Group Travel handles a wide range of group travel requests, including family reunions, student trips, sports teams, corporate groups, and more!

Benefits of KLM Group Travel

When you book a group with KLM, you are not just booking a bunch of tickets but a whole slew of benefits that are geared towards groups specifically.

• All group members will pay the same rate, so everyone pays the same amount to travel; this makes forecasting and budgeting for your trip easier.

• You get a minimum of 14 days after you receive an offer to book your trip to decide whether or not to accept the offer.

• You can make payment terms flexible, and you can cancel if needed (usually under certain circumstances), allowing for time and money to be used wisely.

• You may reserve standard seats (at no extra cost) up to 8 days before departure.

• You may change the name of a passenger (without charge) until you are issued a ticket.

• In many instances (and certainly for most long-haul flights outside Europe), each group member has a checked bag included in his/her airfare.

• Group members earn Flying Blue Miles towards their individual loyalty rewards, as well as earn bluebiz credits for their employer.

• KLM offers assistance through KLM’s Direct Sales Group Desk. Groups have personal support when contacting KLM for group assistance.

How to Book Your KLM Group Trip: The Step-by-Step Process

To book for large groups, you must use a unique approach to book your flight tickets. The following steps will help you secure your group flights on KLM:

Step 1: Request a Quotation

You will be directed to the KLM Group Travel page, where you will complete an application form providing KLM with your departure and return locations, travel dates, and the number of travelers in your group.

Note: You can request a quotation up to 11 months in advance of your intended travel date, allowing you to effectively plan for the future.

Step 2: Receive and Review KLM’s Quotation

Normally, within three working days after you request a quotation, KLM will contact you with an offer. This offer will indicate your total price, including all taxes, and will detail the specific terms and conditions associated with your particular route. This quote is based on your destination, the number of passengers, the number of seats available, and the average ticket price of the class.

Step 3: Approve and Pay the Deposit

If you agree with KLM’s offer, you will confirm your acceptance of the offer by email and remit the required deposit to KLM in order to reserve your seats. At this point, the “master contract” will have been created, which guarantees both your seats and the price per seat until such time as you cancel your reservation.

Step 4: Provide Passenger Information

You will not need to provide KLM with the passport information for each passenger at the time of your reservation. In most cases, you will have until approximately 35 days before your departure date to provide KLM with your final passenger list and the required information.

Step 5: Final Payment and Ticketing

Once you make your final payment, the tickets will be issued. From that point forward, you’ll be able to manage your group via KLM Group Desk or complete check-in separately online as a group.
