KLM baggage restrictions: start with the fare’s included checked pieces

Premium Comfort Light differs from its Standard and Flex fares, and Business Light also differs from the other listed Business fares. The cabin name alone is not enough to determine the allowance. Find the complete fare name in your reservation and check the allowance for the route. Count your bags and measure each one, including handles and wheels. Keep piece count, individual weight, and size as separate checks; extra unused weight in one bag does not establish permission to exceed another bag’s limit. For additional or unusual baggage, request the applicable purchase and acceptance conditions before departure. Check restricted-item guidance separately for batteries, liquids, and hazardous items. This answer resolves ordinary checked-bag entitlement, not every security restriction, and should not be used as a partner airline’s cabin-bag rule.
