I gained entry because of Star Alliance and EVA, but it is a hefty walk from the G gates. If you want to give Aspire a try and your plane departs from F or G, give yourself 15 minutes even if using the moving sidewalks. Luckily the last two times in Aspire I was able to grab at small table by the windows. Tip 1: Watch who is getting ready to leave. Tip 2: Electrical outlets are hidden under the windows near the floor, and you will get on your hands and knees to find them and plug in. Hot food is Indonesian inspired, and was meh. Pretty bland for Indonesian, but maybe that's the typical guest palate. I thought the mushroom cream soup was really good and I went back for seconds. One beer is on tap, the rest are bottled. Wine was really cheap generic Spanish red and white. Basic liquor was available and all beverages were self-serve. Table bus and clean staff were good and made frequent rounds. Aspire makes me curious if the One World lounge which shares the entrance is the same or better or worse. Maybe a Yelper knows.

It took me about 15 minutes to walk to the lounge and another 20 minutes to get from the lounge to my gate, so plan on losing 35-40 minutes just walking. Once inside, though, it was comfortable and a nice place to relax. The food selection was just okay, but there were decent drink options, including a self-service bar where you can make your own cocktails. I also appreciated the ice cream station, which was a nice touch. Overall, it's a pleasant lounge experience--just be sure to allow extra time if your gate is in the non-Schengen area.

The food options are mainly cold cut cheeses and meats, with limited options for greens. The hot food only had a few options as well. The sweets section was impressve though, with all sorts of candies and sweet pastries. The atmosphere is quite nice as there is a good number of seats with a calm vibe maintained throughout the lounge. Its a comfortable place to relax, but I wouldn't necessarily craze to make this a must visit.

However, they serve beverages and a continental breakfast with fruits available. There are 2 showers and, if you have done traveling, you know this can be a welcome relief after a long flight and during your lay over. However, we were departing so the showers were not needed. This lounge looks out at the KLM planes and a few British Airways gates. Also, although the airport advertises free Wi-Fi, I could only sign in for an hour. However, that provided me enough time for some Yelp check-ins since the Yelp app did not work in many of the locations I visited. Personnel were very friendly, spoke English, and kept the lounge clean when people left their garbage, dishes, and newspapers strewn about. There is a huge departure board that alerts you when to start walking and the time it will take to get to your gate. Safe travels.

We used KLM Crown Lounge 25 (one of two KLM lounges at Schiphol Airport, the other being KLM Crown…read moreLounge 52) during our layover in Amsterdam. We had flown in from Las Vegas (9 hour and 5 minute flight, the longest flight I've ever been on so far) and were waiting to board our flight to Budapest to start our two-week long journey to Europe. I'm probably going to get a ton of heat from saying this, but this here was my first time traveling outside the United States, and Amsterdam Schiphol was the very first European airport I've been in (while this is true, Hungary actually ended up being the first European country I've stepped foot in). This lounge also wasn't a very far walk from our assigned gate. This lounge is huge and they have plenty of seating all around. While I didn't get the chance to try their food, I ended up trying their coffee, which will always be my go-to drink anytime I end up inside of an airport lounge. From what I've been told, the coffee in Amsterdam is really good, and being the coffee lover I am, I'm looking forward to it once we actually make our way back there. Using the coffee machine was a little confusing at first, but eventually I got the hang of it. Showers are included if you're just coming off a very long flight and require a connecting flight. The restrooms here, while smaller than the ones I'm used to back at home, are also clean and very well kept. We may return to this lounge on our way back home to Las Vegas, depending on what gate we may end up in.

The food offerings were rather mediocre, the lounge was too crowded.

But that's all. After that minimoment, there was only the frustration about losing a whole day in a shitty hotel but that there was an absolute chaos and poor management, poor communication. As business class traveler, I was directed back to the lounge, but within the lounge, there was a lack of proactive information/communication. Taken both together, it was a memorable experience that I would like to forget as quickly as possible.

We did have to wander around quite a bit to find the bar that contained liquor, but we were persistent! Airport was clean and all employees we encountered were pleasant. We waited about an hour and a half in a very hot line to clear immigration. None of the self-service kiosks were open. When the Schengen line was totally clear, I hoped they would start taking people from our line; no such luck. The gentleman who helped us was nice, but it took way too long to get to him. It is very convenient that the train station is right there in the airport, though I wish the platform system was made a bit more clear no the kiosks when buying tickets. For those of us who don't have this type of transit in our home cities (Los Angeles), it made transportation tough. In fact, we got on the wrong train and what should have been a 15 minute ride from Schiphol to Centraal became an hour-long detour in the broiling heat.

Arrivals: We were warned that the lines would be long because the EU was launching a new biometric system where we put our fingerprints and passports into this machine thing and then that should let you past the gate and into the rest of the airport. it works for the most part, except my friend had issues getting through as her passport didn't get recognized. They pulled her aside for questioning. I waited near the exit wanting to shout "She's real, free my friend." but I figured I'd get in trouble. But 5 minutes later she came out of the gate. Then we waited in this massive room to grab our luggage. We noted so many pretty what is equivalent to TSA workers, even the security guards looked like models. Why can't we have that back home? Then we walked out of this massive airport and then we got our ride into Amsterdam Departures: We arrived 2.5 hours before our flight to Edinburgh and if we have waited in front of the massive queue to check in our luggage, we would have missed our flight. We opted for the check in machines. It took a bit to figure out, but I'd pick it over the big line. Then there was another massive line for security. The security is 2 parts - one to check your carry on and then another to check out of the country. this part almost cost us the flight because despite the various signs - people wouldn't empty their water bottles or liquids - or forget to take out the chargers and laptops - it was frustrating. They also dont show the gate until an hour before so you have to run if its on the opposite side. I think it's an EU/UK thing, because this was a common occurrence in Amsterdam, Heathrow, and Edinburgh. Then I had to run and I ran!! I ran so deep into the airport - thank god for those walking escalator things - it helped cut the time in half. And once I got on my plane I was huffing and puffing. But we all managed to make it in time. long story short: for international flyers - go 4 hours early, bring running shoes, and good luck.
