This is a paid for airport lounge at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
This lounge is situated between departure area 1 and 2.
The interior is modern and perhaps a bit futuristic, a lot of white shiny surfaces but still warm and inviting due to brown fabrics, fake fireplace, etc...
The lounge provides an excellent way to relax before a flight. The Food and Beverage offerings change through the day to match with people's needs for the particular time of day. Their is usually soup, warm savoury snacks, cheeses, fresh olives, two types of salads, fresh bread buns, cheese, meat, etc.
At certain times of the day there are also nice sweet offerings, like macaroons, chocolate cake, etc.
The products on offer are always of good quality and are tasty. The fizzy drinks are nicely presented in small bottles (no no 'post mix' taps) in fridges and I have never seen an empty fridge.
I'm not much of a wine drinker so I can't comment on the choice of wines nor about their quality.
There is a good WIFI connection, downloading a tv show from iTunes doesn't take very long (though the speed will obviously vary).
Toilets are clean, one very spacious near the end of the lounge and smaller ones near the entrance.
A nice enough selection of magazines and international newspapers.
The lounge offers speedy border passage with their dedicated security lanes (they can be a lifesaver) for both Schengen countries as non-Schengen countries (iris scan).
All in all, if you travel regularly through Schiphol this lounge offers good value!
There are extra services for car owners who want to park as close to the runway as possible. As I don't have a car I can't comment on those... read more
