got it from a mail, so no link. 45 kt winds ought to speed up the trip from the Polderbaan! 
I am on a UA flight arriving at 9 connecting to a BA flight at noon. So far both look OK. The things we do to avoid Europe Select...

To be honest I normally use the phone as modem for my laptop - I'd rather be able to see full web pages on a large screen. Going back to 2G (+EDGE) speeds would be unacceptable. And if there's WLAN I can just use the laptop's built-in WLAN.
BTW: cut-and-paste seems to be pretty basic functionality which has been around for ages.

But I just couldn't help it
The storm was less serious than predicted in the Netherlands, at least that's what I read in the NOS nieuws website yesterday. Now there is a report about some new delays:

De storm heeft in Nederland nauwelijks schade aangericht, en ook in Duitsland vallen de gevolgen mee. Alleen op het eiland Helgoland in de Duitse Bocht van de Noordzee is veel vernield. De schade loopt er in de miljoenen.
De eerste najaarsstorm van dit jaar leidde tot hoge waterstanden, maar echt gevaarlijk werd het nergens.

Most flights were delayed this morning at AMS, as far as I could see from the info screens. But no cancellations, just reduced capacity like you say. We were in a holding pattern for landing for an extra 30 minutes this morning. So I am happy, didn't like the thought of spending the day in the Schengen lounge, however nice it is

Consider yourself lucky! I got to spend three hours in the BA lounge at AMS yesterday and, well, it's no Terraces. Filthy, tacky old furniture, nothing to eat except some junk food, nothing to read except the Mail (which I gather is the print equivalent of Fox News). Dire. On a positive note, they have large versions of those sausages we used to love in the KL lounges!
