Do you know what the Servisair lounges are like? If somebody tells me they're nice I'll at least take a look next time I go through AMS.

OP, I figure you know this, but you're entitled to the free PP select but have to ask for it. It's a separate card and you can order it easily from the Amex website.
I'll be there in July flying LH/OS, so Servisair will be my only choice. I'll try to remember to report back, but I'm sure there's someone on this board who has tried them. I'll only be able to report on Lounge 26 since my flights to/from Germany and Austria will be Schengen-to-Schengen. If I like Lounge 26 I will probably try Lounge 41 on my next AMS-USA flight.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. They are not on my list of lounges that I would pay for. I have never had to pay for them but if I did I don't think those lounges would get my money.

I've been Lounge 26 (when flying Finnair, IIRC); and it's very basic. The KLM Lounges are much better.

If you just want a cappuccino or a drink (mid-range alcohol selection like Famous Grouse Scotch), it is fine. No food to speak of.

I could probably find a picture from a few months ago (February); if anyone is really interested.

I tried both the schengen and nonschengen lounges a long time ago when I was curious and had some time to kill in AMS, but I think they've been remodeled since them. I vaguely remember them as being smaller than the KLM lounges but rather empty and very quiet. I think there was less of a food selection, but KLM has changed its food offerings somewhat in the meantime, so that comparison might no longer be valid.

One time I was considering a connection via AMS and looked up the Servisair lounges. On the website, the non-Schengen seemed to look a bit bigger and nicer than the Schengen, and I seem to recall the page for one (if not both) the lounges saying or implying that there really wasn't much of a view, if any. I never looked up the KLM lounge, as I wasn't STE+ at the time.

Of the KLM lounges, it's only the nonschengen one that has good views or even many seats near windows.

KLM Lounge question

I'm DL plat and my wife is DL silver. We will be flying RT ATL to AMS on DL and in between will be flying KLM RT from AMS to VCE. Do we get access to KLM lounges? Also, another couple is with us who have no status, and I assume they get zero access.

"In addition, SkyTeam Elite Plus members are allowed to invite a guest, who is also traveling on a flight operated by a SkyTeam member airline, to join them in the lounge. The guest does not necessarily need to travel on the same flight as the SkyTeam Elite Plus member."1

You (STE+) can guest your wife (who is just STE) into the lounge. The other couple with no status gets no entry, as you assumed.

Or "you" could guest the other guy's wife or whatever, but "you" can only take one guest total into the lounge at each place. You should be able to guest A at ATL, B at AMS nonschengen, and C at AMS schengen if you have a long connection. Officially your guest must leave the lounge when you do, so B and C connote use a lounge at the same time.

There will be no lounge access at VCE upon arrival.

Currently flying MSP/AMS/KBP. Thinking about the Crown Lounges, am I correct that since Ukraine isn't Schengen, I'll only have access to Lounge 52. . . . Which means that I'll hafto hike ALL THE WAY down to 52, then ALL THE WAY BACK to the non-Schengen smaller plane gates (C gates, I think)?

My current ETA is 7:54 AM and AMS/KBP departs at 9:30. I'm not sure that's enough time. Did I miss something?

Not sure why think it has to be C. Quick look shows KL KBP flights departed D.

I did check KLM.com & DL, and I couldn't find any gate info. I guess the D gates wouldn't be too bad. I'm picturing the concourse where the Schengen gates for 737s (etc) are on ground level, and non-Schengen gates are the same gates, but accessed from the floor above. I thought those were C gates. Maybe my memory isn't perfect.
