)
Lounge 25 is still under construction in other areas as well, and for a change, this morning all the showers were out of order.
For the rest, I was so lucky that both my KC flights were canceled for this BSL-AMS and back trip. I flew very little KL flights recently, and I will keep avoiding them as much as possible in the future.
This time I had to find my own connection by putting an alert on expertflyer, but the TAs/PSL backups were good enough to put me on LX flights from/to ZRH both times.
Happy to report that the AF attendants at BSL are really good. Pre-boarding offered and performed with no issues, except that the KL flight was canceled right before the boarding started, and I was already pre-boarded and waiting at the finger

I will never forget the sorry face of the AF attendant coming back at me with the bad news, but as I was told a couple of other times, it seems that KL frequently axes BSL flights, so they're kinda used to it.
Will not open this year as they need to finish some finetuning…
There will be no food / drinks corner for ulti as I have been told, you just need to walk a bit further…
Anyway, the ‘we are working on it’ should be over soon and its an improvement as only the furniture is already a big plus…
Problem might be there is no restricted access (as in Cdg 2F)… in principal everybody can access… As we know (incl me) the Dutch are not so much on adhering to restrictions ;-) Especially when super crowded. Lets see…
