May be I'll have to be in Stockholm week after next. If it was Malmo, I'd be seriously considering driving. Might still drive to BRU or DUS to catch SK.

It is also the most customer friendly solution despite the sad circumstances.
Everyone here loves to moan about KL and AMS but I do not see what other options KL has actually.
For transfer pax, fair enough.
If I was tonight in BCN (or somewhere else) and instead of a delayed flight as last Monday (though weekend flights were actually cancelled...) I would be told that the airplane will depart empty, I'd have been very angry. The whole point was I was trying to get to my own bed.

I've got business in the Netherlands next week and booked on an orange plane Monday and Friday. Not looking forward to the experience, and starting to wonder if I should be looking at Eurostar. 5 hours on a train has to be better than 4 hours in a security queue, right?
easyJet have their own pier, unfortunately the entrance to non-Schengen area of this pier is from the general non-Schengen terminal. Schengen pier of easyJet, empty as it is, has its own security checkpoint. I imagine life is much better there than in Departures 1&2 checkpoints.
If you are in London, consider flying from RTM to LCY as well. BA.
