Thanks SFO777 for the comments. The food was pretty good on KLM - I'd say as one would expect with business class. I've really tried with Air Canada but it almost feels personal now, and I'm done with them. I wish they would go under and start again.

Thanks pjs, the food was pretty good and they're always happy to give you more bread, wine and chocolate until you feel full. I see your delft house question was answered by another poster, but we didn't conceal the houses in any way and had no problems going through security with them.

I didn't know that the Anne Frank house was one of them... very interesting. Also, you can switch out any house you pick at the Crown Lounge in Amsterdam, so one could do that too.
