byAir vs. KLM

The KLM app handles booking, itinerary management, check-in, boarding passes, seats, extras, Flying Blue, and official gate or schedule updates.

byAir adds one timeline across carriers, independent flight-data context, personal history and statistics across airlines, and early delay signals on eligible flights.

One official app. One independent trip view.

KLM controls its reservation, airline documents, and Flying Blue services. byAir connects that segment with partners, separate tickets, and the journey around it.
