The KLM lounge at AMS is huge. It makes sense, this being KLM's home airport and all, that the premiere lounge would be located here. Despite that gigantic size of this lounge (easily 2-3x as large as any other I've been in) it has still been nearly full each time I've been. I've never had a problem finding a seat, but have always been sitting next to someone else.
There is a pretty good spread of food here, which shifts throughout the day from breakfast goods to lunch and dinner. My most recent visits were in the morning, so that is what I can tell you the most about. Protein lovers are in luck with hard boiled eggs as well as deli meat served beside the cheese and bread. There are also little pancakes with syrup and powdered sugar. The miniature cake donuts with chocolate frosting didn't excite me at first glance, but then I decided to try one anyway and they are ridiculously delicious. There's also yogurt and cereals on hand. One warning- when it is really busy these items aren't filled fast enough to keep up with the crowds, and for awhile all we found of the pancakes were a few burnt crispy pancakes stuck to the bottom of the pan.
To drink your options are even more vast. There were many fresh juices available, plus milk, and a selection of sodas. Then begins the alcohol, there is plenty of wine out for self service, a red, a white, and a sparkling. Mimosas anyone? The standard airport lounge coffee machine was also available, which means pretty much any variety of delicious coffee product you desire. The selection of liquors is nicely displayed, mounted on dispensers for easily measured pours to make your favorite cocktails. (Oh, yes, Bloody Marys anyone? All the fixin's are available!) I love there there is a selection of various Bols Genivers to set up your own geniver tasting in the lounge. When it comes to beer selection the only thing on tap is Heineken, but come on, would you expect anything else? :)
There is also a quiet, dark are in the lounge with beds for those looking to nap (the door states no wake up service available- but seriously, who expects that?).
The staff was all very friendly, and this lounge is always a solid choice when flying through AMS. read more
