Quicktip: Avoiding KLM booking fees on all flights…but with a big caveat

Two months ago I posted a quicktip on how to avoid KLM’s booking fees on transatlantic flights by booking on Delta. Thanks to reader Ralph who commented in the post to provide the missing information I needed — how to extend this to all flights.

Quicktip: Avoid KLM booking fees on transatlantic flights by using Delta.

I’m sure this won’t be news for most of you, but I discovered this trick by accident. I’d noticed that KLM (KL) imposes a €10 “booking fee” on all online transactions. You can avoid this simply by performing your online booking on Delta (DL) instead as they have codeshare ventures between them.
