I've been through AMS several times both as an O/D and as a transfering passenger. I'ver never understood the love so many people seem to have for this airport. I find the ground staff to be chilly, at best, and it seems like I walk at least five miles every time I'm there--not that there's anything wrong with that. I could certainly stand to "lose a few," and I know some people who go to the mall for their aerobic walk. But when I'm at an airport, I just want to get in the taxi, on the plane, or to the next gate. I haven't found this any harder at CDG than at AMS and many times it's been easier. I don't like remote parking however. Riding around an airport in a bus is not my idea of fun, but then I've had to do that at CVG and IAH in recent years. Maybe when 2E is up and fully running, there'll be more jetways available.
