KLM and Air France have expanded their range of air fares with a new ‘Business Light’ fare bundle. This new offering is available on a wide selection of long haul flights in addition to existing Business Standard and Business Flex fares.
The Business Light fares offer travelers a more affordable alternative to the existing fare options, but there are some additional restrictions. For example, passengers with these fares do not have access to the lounge and only receive one free checked bag up to 32 kg instead of two, as with the Business Standard fares.
However, Elite status benefits will continue to apply to Business Light fares. Travelers with SkyTeam Elite Plus status can still enjoy lounge access and an extra piece of checked baggage. Free seat selection is not included in both Business Light and Business Standard fares.
These new fares will be available for travel from April 25, 2023 and will apply to flights from Europe to all intercontinental destinations, excluding North America, China, Vietnam and Mauritius.
