KLM to norway flight info

[bri1960]

Just after a bit of advice regarding klm flights from newcastle to trondheim.Our kids goin to Vega island in Feb and they have been looking at flights and decided klm is the best option to get to their destination at the back of beyond But when you book there is no option for baggage allowance,apparently you pay it at the airport so could get well stung,so do any lads know what the cost is say per 20kg case and per rod tube? Thanks in advance,Bri.

Hi mate, I fly klm every month to Frankfurt. Don't pay for baggage initially as it'll cost approx £33 to take a 24 Kg bag. Just click to take cabin baggage and when you do online booking in confirmation (you'll receive an email) approx 24 hrs before flight, you'll have option to pay for hold luggage for £13. Hope this helps.

Cheers mate so is that per flight cos theyve got three flights to get there and same back so 6x £13 0r £33 depending which baggage option they take?

[BadgerHeed]

It's each way mate. You get the option every time you do the online check in. Might cost more the longer the flight but it's definitely cheaper than booking hold luggage when you initially book flight.

Ok thanks mate .It's still vague though when you can't plan the exact cost especially if you taking two 20 kg cases and a rod tube over 3 flights each way.Just heard off lad who went last year cost him 67 quid for his rod tube over 2 flights so I can imagine you could get well stung

Were going in feb from Newcastle via Amsterdam.

The return flights cost me £169.19p

Then I added the Baggage which came to £77.60 for 2 cases/items each way.

my matt did the same so I take a case with my clothes etc in and another with all our bait and some food bits in. My mate then takes a case and a rod tube with all of our rods in. Done this a couple of times and not had a problem at all with it. (The baggage policy allows you to take a rod tube as your first case/item and then book another extra case, if you ad a 3rd item of package the price for the 3rd item rockets)

Not sure why you mention 3 flights as its only 2.

We have also flew direct from Gatwick in the past but its a bit of a hassle driving down.

He can still go via London 1 flight to Trondheim then the connecting flight to Bronnoysund not sure on waiting times in between flights I hate KLM they have lost plenty of my gear but always got them back the same night or the day after I get there via a taxi

[bri1960]

Yeah Nicky ive heard too many bad stories about KLM thats why we stick with Norwegian but our kid considering KLM cos you can book the full flight package to Bronnoysund with them.Its planes,trains and automobiles to get where they goin.....

Mick has a fascination with Skarnsundet. Personally having being there the fishing is certainly no better than where we are going so its pretty pointless driving for a couple of hours each way to fish that area.
