- The ticket machines for the trains only accept chip and pin cards so no dice for cardholders from the Americas.
- Amsterdam Central is not a terminal so doesn't appear on any platform screens (Surely most tourists want to go there?)
- The check in desks are sideways on, so you have to walk the full length of the hall to see where your check in is.
-All of the *A carriers are in check in zone 3, apart from Lufthansa/Swiss/Austrian which is in check in zone 1, desk 1, it is not possible to be further away from the other *A carriers.
- The signs do not match the desks. "This way to check in desks 1-20" even though 17-20 is in hall 3 and the sign directs you away from them.
-Coming out of the main exit next to Café Rembrandt, the sign for hotel shuttles tells you to turn left, they are actually to the right.

Am I alone or is anyone in agreement?
