Applying for Flux and then using that to obtain Privium sounds attractive, but the costs are so high (EUR100 for Flux and another EUR150 or something for Privium... per year) that the time savings didn't quite seem worth it to me when I last considered it.

Getting Global Entry free with Nexus was the best $50 I've ever spent, though, bar none... an example of government (Department of Homeland Security, no less!) actually doing something extremely well.
If staying in AMS, 3 minutes cab through security.
