Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

The impact of a strike on your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
