Grand Café KLM: what stays free and what costs extra on European flights?

KLM introduced Grand Café KLM on European flights on 25 October 2026. Economy passengers can buy food and drinks from an onboard menu and pre-order meals on eligible flights. A complimentary basic service remains.

What stays free?

KLM lists coffee, tea, water, orange juice and a stroopwafel as its complimentary offering. These are separate from the wider paid selection. Service depends on the flight; KLM shows the menu and ordering options for your trip.

Food and drinks to buy

The announced range includes sandwiches, a salmon and egg wrap, and yoghurt with fruit and seeds. Pre-order options include meals such as a poke bowl or Caesar salad. Availability varies by flight.

European Economy is the scope

The change concerns Economy Class on European flights. It does not replace the intercontinental meal service, where meals, snacks and drinks remain included.

If your journey connects through Amsterdam, check each flight segment separately. An Air France flight number does not automatically mean Grand Café KLM is available: the operating airline and cabin determine the service.

How much does Grand Café KLM cost?

The menu lists a Beemster cheese bun at €6. Chicken and tzatziki flatbread, a salmon and egg wrap, a croque monsieur and a tapas box each cost €7. Yoghurt with forest fruits costs €5. Smaller snacks include banana bread (€3), a brownie (€2.50) and Pringles (€3).

Coca-Cola and apple juice cost €3.25; Heineken and Heineken 0.0 cost €5. A 187 ml bottle of wine costs €7 and 200 ml prosecco €8. Selected combinations receive a €1 discount, including a large savoury item with a soft drink.

Pre-ordering a meal

Chicken Caesar salad costs €12.50, pancakes with fruit €13.50 and a salmon poke bowl €14.50. Order through My Trip on KLM’s website or app. The menu gives cut-offs of 24 hours before departure from Amsterdam and 36 hours before departure to Amsterdam.

The selection depends on your flight

On flights shorter than an hour, the complimentary service consists of water and a stroopwafel. The full paid menu is available only on the destinations listed by KLM. These include Barcelona, Rome, Lisbon and Toulouse; London and Paris are absent from the list. Check the options for each individual flight segment.

Onboard payments are by debit or credit card; cash is not accepted. Flying Blue members can also use miles by presenting their QR code in the KLM app. These euro prices are from the menu consulted on 29 October 2026 and may change later.
