Anyway to dodge long layovers in AMS?
I'm looking to book a flight from LCY to PTY (via AMS). Unfortunately on the return flight, the connection to LCY is poor (a 5hr wait in AMS!). Ideally i'd like to book the return leg from AMS to LCY with BA. Has anyone done this before, what's the best way to approach?
Could i call up and try to book only 3 legs with KLM? Or on the day ask that they check through my bags to AMS only, so I can pick my bags up and get on an earlier flight with BA (do they allow this?)
I'd be keen to hear if others have tried anything like this.
