Tips for booking cheap KLM flights
Transatlantic fares on KLM are most competitive when booked 2 to 4 months before departure. Summer (June–August) peaks early — book in January or February for the best summer prices.
Schiphol is one of Europe's most efficient transit airports. A U.S.–AMS–onward KLM itinerary can often be cheaper than flying direct on local carriers, especially for Africa, Asia, and Middle East destinations.
Flying Blue (the joint loyalty program of KLM and Air France) earns and redeems miles across SkyTeam partners including Delta, Air France, and dozens of others — valuable for U.S. travelers who also fly Delta domestically.
May, early June, September, and October offer the best value on transatlantic KLM routes. January and February (excluding holidays) are the absolute cheapest months to Europe.
