Connecting flights

I normally fly direct. However in a few weeks i am flying to Atlanta via Amsterdam from Manchester.
There is only 1hr between the arriving flight in AMS and the departing flight to ATL. Both flights are with KLM but booked through a third party website (Orbitz)
My question is this:
- If my outbound flight from MAN is delayed which results in me missing the flight to ATL what is KLM's position on this?
- Will the baggage be through checked to ATL?
Thanks in advance

Check and post your times, as i'm not aware of it being possible to have less than 1h55 connection time on KLM to Atlanta from Manchester.
But, if both your connections are on KLM and you brought it as one ticket, your luggage will be through checked, and if you miss the flight, they will accommodate you in Amsterdam or re-route you, probably on North West Airlines, or if they are aware of delays in advance maybe even have the commonsense to stick you on the direct Delta flight.
Either way, I wouldn't worry about it.0 -

I was hoping to get a response like that.
Thank you.0
