What to do when a flight is missed?
Once a flight is missed, there is no point to worry or get panicked as KLM has options and certain processes for a passenger who has missed a flight.
- Once you miss a flight, there is no point to panic or get stressed about it and the first thing that you should do is to immediately contact the KLM officials present in the boarding gate and inform them that you are present but got delayed in reaching the gate on time. It is very important that the KLM officials do not mark you as “no show” passenger. If you are marked as no show, then you might not be able to claim any facilities from KLM even in exchange of a missed flight fee.
- Then what you need to do is to visit the designated counter of KLM located inside the airport premises and speak with the KLM officials present at the desk about looking into the option of rebooking in the next available flight.
- Once you get the confirmation of the availability of seats in the next KLM flight to your destination, you will need to pay a flight change fee and submit your earlier boarding pass and collect the new boarding pass and then you can proceed for boarding. But it’s important to keep in mind that you might not be able to get your next flight on the same day and you need to stay the night to avail the next possible flight.

- It is very important for you to know that you might not be able to travel to your destination on the next flight the same day as it may be full or there may not be any scheduled flight on the same day to your destination.
