The BA flight I took to Amsterdam on Friday was delayed due to a late arrival of the aircraft from FRA,
Queueing at the T5 gate was quite chaotic, as they had everyone in groups 1 to 3 lined up before boarding started.
The flight wasn’t too memorable, although the gentleman next to me was already asleep before we had taken off!
Lunch from Do&Co was a prawn and avocado salad with just two lettuce leaves and a stale bread roll. The prawns and the avocado itself was tasty though. And the chocolate mousse for dessert was good.
Passport control in AMS had a very long wait, with just a single queue for EU + non EU passports, the e passport gates were closed and just two manual booths open. So I waited for around 20 minutes. Despite that, it was still another 20 minutes waiting for my baggage to reach the carousel.
I took the train to The Hague, which was delayed due to the NS train. A train to a different destination at the platform was about to depart. The doors were closing as one woman ran and blocked the doors, and then shouted to everyone “is this train going to The Hague”, which it wasn’t.
I stayed at the Hilton property and got upgraded to an executive king room, which was quite large. It had just a view of the courtyard. And the executive lounge was alright, usually very quiet. Though on my last night I had a cheese square that I can’t tell if it was mould or crystals - I didn’t eat it.
