Lost luggage is quite common during flight disruptions, and you can make a claim for compensation under the Montreal Convention. Should they fail to recover your luggage within 21 days, you can file a claim that could end with 1,300 EUR in compensation.

This depends on the distance between the two locations. Most international flights are 3,500 km or longer, which means that you should be able to get about 600 EUR in compensation. This does not include a potential refund or your right to care, which you may be eligible for.

If your flight is cancelled or delayed due to an airline strike, then KLM is held responsible for the incident. The only circumstances where they would not have to pay you back is if the strike was led by staff not under their payroll (e.g., airport or air traffic control staff).

This depends on how long the flight delay is and whether or not you received an alternative flight. KLM compensation covers expenses for flights that were “significantly delayed,” and according to EC 261, that’s three hours. Delays shorter than that usually offer no grounds for compensation, although you should receive meal vouchers after 2 hours.

This depends on whether KLM somehow manages to get you to your destination with a delay of less than 3 hours. In case of missed connections, KLM is responsible for putting you on the earliest suitable flight and covering your right to care. Failure to do so causes EC 261 to kick in, which can lead to compensation of up to 600 EUR.
