Just saying. I have no own experience yet. My first flights are early July and avoiding KLM for a while...
Huh. I guess the advice on KLM website to guide transit passengers using non-schengen lounge for sure needs non-schengen access as prerequisite.

"
The KLM Schengen Crown Lounge is temporarily closed.You are welcome in our Non-Schengen Crown Lounge.
To enter the Non-Schengen area at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, just show your travel documents at the security controls."
I'm not sure why they haven't aligned with AMS security filter before communicating this to passengers...
So if one lands at non-schengen area, in order to use Crown 52, he/she should just stay there before heading to schengen area correct? there will likely be no way back...
