Has anyone ever done a 'long distance' CD in AMS?
We need to go to Franeker, which is 130KM away. In the past, we have taken the train, but that's actually a hassle, taking up to 3 hours.
Looking at Google maps, its a 130KM drive taking an hour and a half.
65KM is the 'free allowance', and according to the EK website €1.80 per KM above that. Train would cost us something like €26 each, so € 52 in total (in train Y, but that's OK). So it will work out at €65 more than the train, which is worth it to me for a variety of reasons (timing, hassle, comfort)

I have never done 'excess milage' on my CD anywhere. Any experience with it in AMS? EK website says pay card or cash.
