KLM to fly to 157 destinations this winter
KLM announced Monday that it will operate 157 winter destinations, 92 in Europe and 65 intercontinental.
The schedule, which runs from October 29, 2023 to Sunday, March 31, 2024, adds the French city of Marseille to the airline’s network. In addition, KLM will offer 20% more seats to Canada, compared to last year, and direct flights to Beijing and Shanghai will again operate daily.
It should be noted that the number of destinations is always somewhat lower in winter than in summer due to seasonal destinations.

North America
This winter, KLM will fly to 19 destinations in North America (Canada, USA and Mexico).
