After receiving many visitors about KLM’s customer service problems regarding baggage, here is a run down of what to do if your bags are stolen or delayed as well as baggage travel restrictions.
The basics: Baggage Allowance
Baggage allowance for any airline is a nightmare. Each region, country, airline has restrictions so who the hell knows [...]

Update: 06/27/2009 I told my whole story to our friend Marcus at KLM and he escalated the letter to someone else. Let’s see what happens. Nothing happened. What a surprise, no one from KLM bothered to reply back.
