What to do when the KLM site mentions you can not check in online for a KLM flight

What to do when the KLM site mentions you can not check in online for a KLM flight - Serious ethnic young woman using laptop at home

I booked a flight on the KLM site several months in advance and got the line: "U kunt niet online inchecken voor deze vlucht."
(You can't check in online for this flight.)
The flight is on a national holiday and I was pretty much sure at the time that the reason for not being able to check in online was that holiday.
This is a standard flight, booked on the KLM site directly, by someone who is a Dutch citizen and who has checked in online with KLM several times in the last few years.

Is there an other option and still be able to check in more than three hours before the flight?

Can you not check-in online for international flights?

You still need to print a boarding pass -- from an electronic kiosk -- at the airport and take your bags to a check-in counter, but online check-in is still a bit faster than waiting in line for your boarding pass. You still require all travel documents if you check in online.

When can you check-in online with KLM?

You can check in any time from 30 hours before your flight's departure (24 hours for flights to or from the United States). Please select how you would like to check in. Your ticket number contains 13 or 14 digits.
