Keep in mind that upgrades are subject to availability, so it’s best to book early to ensure that you can enjoy the benefits of an upgraded travel experience with KLM.

If you’re looking to upgrade your KLM flight to Business Class, one option is to check for availability at check-in. Depending on the number of seats available and the number of passengers who have already booked Business Class, you may be able to upgrade by paying the difference in fare. 

However, keep in mind that this is not always a guaranteed option, as Business Class seats can fill up quickly. Another option is to use your frequent flyer miles to purchase an upgrade, or to bid on an upgrade using KLM’s bidding system (you’ll receive an invite for the auction by e-mail or you’ll be able to access bidding via My Trip). Whatever option you choose, upgrading to Business Class can provide you with an enhanced in-flight experience, including comfortable seats, premium meals and beverages, and extra space to relax and unwind during your flight.
