rather than his planned trip ADD-AMS-CDG-SXB even though he will get home about two hours earlier but will have to make another change (!!!).
Am I correct in thinking that because both sectors are with KLM he will be able to check his luggage from ADD directly to BSL and receive boarding passes for both sectors at ADD when he checks in?
(The flight codes are both KLM though the latter uses AF equipment ...... after all AF now sadly owns KLM .........)
Advise please, and by the way, trying to get a different country's KLM website is absolute hell .... you need to google KLM XXXXXXX - the country that your flight departs from, and the multicity choice wouldn't work for me on ANY website!! Many thanks in advance for all your help.
