KLM Excess Baggage


When travelling with KLM Airlines, you will have to pay excess baggage fees if your baggage is overweight. This differs depending on your route of travel and number of bags you are travelling with. For information on excess baggage fees at KLM click here.

KLM Special Baggage


Because of limited space on KLM aircraft’s, you need to reserve for the transportation of some types of special baggage as early as possible – no later than 48 hours before departure. It is also extremely important to ensure that your reservation is confirmed before departure to ensure that you can take your special baggage with you.

My Baggage – Airline Baggage Alternative


KLM is an undeniably affordable travel option if you are travelling with a small amount of luggage off season. However, if you go above the weight allowance, book baggage at the airport or travel during peak periods, you may face considerable extra charges.

Thankfully, that’s where My Baggage comes in.

My Baggage allows you to ship a massive 30kg/66lbs per suitcase or bag at fantastic low rates. You’ll also have the option to pay extra for even heavier bags, if you need to, and you can add as many items as you like to your booking. Shipping luggage with My Baggage allows you to bring more with you than if you were relying on a few checked pieces of baggage.

My Baggage provides a great low-cost alternative to airline baggage, with fast and convenient luggage shipping which allows you to travel hands-free. It means you’ll save yourself some time at the airport when you don’t have to check-in your bags, no waiting around at luggage carousels on the other side and ultimately, one less thing to worry about whilst you travel. To give you that extra peace of mind, My Baggage offers £100 free compensation cover on every single shipment, which can be increased right up to the value of £1000 if you wish. Contact our customer support team if you have any questions!

Book online and My Baggage will collect your luggage and deliver it quickly and safely to where it needs to go.

Cheap and efficient service

This was such a helpful service and saved me a lot of bother trying to navigate travelling with lots of pieces of luggage. It was surprisingly easy to organise and worked out much cheaper than me paying for hold luggage on the plane or having to cope with multiple cases for train changes. I would highly recommend.

Servizio ECCELLENTE

Servizio ECCELLENTE, rapidita' e serieta'. Valigia spedita da MIAMI a SASSARI, in Sardegna, Italy, in 7 giorni. Sarebbe arrivata anche un giorno prima ma ho inviato il Form del Clearing con un giorno di ritardo. Tracking e servizio clienti eccellente, mi hanno telefonato per avvisarmi della richiesta del clearing form. tutto il contenuto era presente all'interno della valigia. Costo e rapidita' migliore della concorrenza. Consiglio caldamente questo servizio.

So easy

So easy! I shipped 5 large bags from Europe to the US because we are relocating. The bags were picked up from my apartment and arrived at my home in the US 5 days later. Easy for the recipient to receive them too. I’m keeping this service in mind for the future!

My Baggage (my baggage.com)- Relocation to Ireland

My Baggage (my baggage.com), made our international relocation shipping super easy and efficient. Great customer service associated with Customs input challenges that quickly solved the challenges! Boxes were picked up on a Thurs afternoon and arrived on the following Tuesday morning! DHL shipping and service were amazing! Thank you for making this a simple process!
