Review: KLM Crown Lounge Amsterdam (Schengen-side)

Once we deplaned at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport in the E Gates, we exited through a very efficient passport control and headed toward our connecting gate to Madrid, which were in the C Gates. Schiphol has two KLM Crown Lounges, one of them, the "Schengen Lounge," located between the C and D Gates (where most of the Schengen Area flights depart), and the other, which Ben reviewed last year, located between the E, F and G Gates near the non-Schengen departures. Since our flight was departing closest to the Schengen lounge, we headed there.

Family “Forced” to Sit in Vomit on United Flight: Is It United’s Fault… or Theirs?

United didn't, they offered only that the family could travel the next day. United handled things badly, I think, but was the family really 'forced' into anything?

Why Nevada is the best US state

1. Only Nevada could provide the right atmosphere for Burning Man. Which is why the Nevada desert has been the only venue for the event since the ’80s. Sorry, San Francisco. 2. There are more hot springs here than pretty much anywhere. In fact, there are over 300 of them in the state. A Las […]
