I have to go to Amsterdam on a business trip in a few months time. I'm only there for a few days, so looking for the best route to get there and back in the quickest possible time.

One of the best J class options I can find is NZ287 (AKL - Beijing) and then KLM to AMS. This is shorter duration than NZ2 to LHR and then waiting around for a connection to AMS

I read on NZ's European website that they are referring to KLM as a "Partner airline" but can not find any reference to KLM in the star alliance or co-operation partner lists, so not sure whether the KLM sectors will gain me any SP's or APD's

Any one able to advise?
