My question is whether people who have recently flown this way and back to Bangkok have experience with taking a suitcase as hold luggage. Because the daughter is only allowed a short holiday period by her Thai employer, they can only stay here for a net 12 days. If, as a result of the lack of baggage personnel at Schiphol, there is also a lot of loss of time, it seems sensible to me that they only take hand luggage.
How strict is KLM with hand luggage dimensions?
I will soon be flying with KLM from Bangkok to Amsterdam, and back to Thailand a few weeks later. I would prefer to fly without hold luggage, so only with hand luggage. KLM has a maximum size of hand luggage of 55x35x25 cm. Now my suitcase is 51x39x20 cm, so a bit too wide.
During the busy summer period, Schiphol will separate passenger flows into travelers with a lot or little hand luggage. Airline passengers who have little or no hand luggage with them can go through the security checks more quickly.

IATA comes with standard for hand luggage
Do you also take hand luggage with you on your flight to Bangkok? Struggling with a bag or suitcase that does not fit in the overhead compartment of the aircraft is a thing of the past if it is up to the IATA. The industry association for aviation comes up with a standard and certification of suitcases that meet the requirements of airlines for cabin luggage. All IATA member airlines will accept the standard case.
