Can I pick up my luggage between flights with the same company?

What you are referring to is “short-checking” of bags – where your bags are only checked to an intermediate point along your journey.

Some airlines do allow short-checking of bags, although most will only allow it under specific circumstances, such as longer or overnight connections. Even airlines that used to allow it are starting to disallow it – for example, United Airlines recently updated their Contract of Carriage to specifically disallow short-checking.

Specifically for KLM, they do allow short-checking bags, however they charge a fee to do so – it used to be €225 per bag, although it may be higher now. Even then, on such a short connection it’s possible they will still say no, as the odds of you being able to collect your bags and make it back to the connecting flight is very low.
