Before making a complaint about KLM
Keep in mind that to file a complaint against KLM, you must have already addressed the issue directly to KLM’s customer service in writing.
After submitting your complaint, you should either have received a final written response (sometimes designated as a ‘deadlock letter’) or given KLM eight weeks to respond to your dispute.
AviationADR can only address unresolved complaints.
