Has anyone flown economy class with KLM Bangkok to Birmingham England?

I have looked up baggage allowance and says 12.5 kilo is that including baggage in hold.

Also did you have to collect baggage in transit for second leg of flight.

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
The baggage allowance for KLM flights from Bangkok to Birmingham typically includes a 12 kg carry-on and a 23 kg checked baggage option, with some passengers mentioning the possibility of upgrading for an extra fee. Most travelers confirmed that their luggage went straight through to Birmingham without needing to collect it during transit at Schipol. Variations in policies might depend on the ticket type, and it's advisable to check directly with KLM regarding specific baggage rules.

I think you can carry different amounts of luggage based on the ticket. If you transfer to another airline you’ll have to move your own bags

23kg as I remember. I was about half a kg over and they wanted me to pay an extra 80 quid or something.

Luggage straight through to Birmingham you choose which luggage option you want ( light etc )

I’m also booked with KLM to BHX.

I booked two light tickets and had to pay around £40-50 extra so myself and my wife could have the 23KG checked baggage as well as the standard 12KG cabin baggage (carry on + small bag)

You can upgrade the baggage allowance with the KLM app for a small-ish fee.

i'm just gonna sit in the sun poolside on the islands until time sorts it out. Far less stress and money. But hey- why not? Also see that Romania is running a free immunization programme for EU citizens and Vlad the impaler's castle

Sorry but after Brexit you can't participate to that program 😂

i assumed that to be the case, but possible things get 'overlooked' for a small fee in Romania :) San Marino is also apparently possible for vaccination now. And it's beautiful

If the ticket is light (only 12 kg allowed) standard it's 12 + 23 kg)

I flew klm from Bangkok to Manchester last month and got 23 kg baggage plus hand luggage. The bag went straight to Manchester, no need to collect it when transiting

yes that is for carry on only……12 kilo…..you are allowed a carry on bag AND a handbag if you are a lady OR computer bag / briefcase etc but total must not exceed 12 kilos. Hold baggage is separate
