Might be that the OneWorld lounge non-schengen Amsterdam sets rules to keep capacity manageable ( conform +max occupancy set by firebrigade)
- all OneWorld premium passengers + elite by default access
- non schengen Star Alliance Business Class passengers by standard negotion contracts per non schengen star alliance airline (some might wish to negotiate with Privium west or Crowne lounge 52 if the price is right)
- Star Alliance elites are just free game to bar & deny access (designation contract lounge so no access)

- Priority pass + premium credit card holders are getting the chop for sure and lounge access is revoked for those nonSchengen Amsterdam departures. Unless it might be in off peak times or virtual q with max time limit occupancy.

Interesting times,

Heads up who's going to the grand opening!

Mix & mingling with the celebrities,
Amsterdam Schiphol airport has been so abysmally dull lately in the lounges,
Finally time to meet live and humbled by the gods & titans of OMAAT, VWTW, GSTP, LL, TPG and HfP.
With a dash of Dutch Insideflyer, luchtvaartnieuws, Business Traveller / Executive traveller.
I do love myself a celebrity gathering !

I can charter press and invite
Dutch Showbizz queens; Connie Witteman, Patty Brard & Patricia Paay
Or
Dutch triad of shrewd Professional widows : Rachel Hazes, Monique de Bouvrie, Isa Hoes
to give act de présence to get tout Hillywood - het Gooi in residence.
(Heel Blaricum loopt uit !)

Like Helen Sharp once remarked, Madeline Ashton will go even to the opening of an envelop
