AC Experiences from AMS
Hoping someone with recent experience with AC in AMS can provide some input.
I have approx a month before my trip to AMS. Still seems to be issues at AMS both with long lines at checkin/security and luggage. Hopefully will clear up before we fly.
Specifically for AC - is there a separate line for J/SE security ? Any preference for lounges ? Anything else I should know re AC AMS ?
If anyone has recent travel experiences in AMS and surrounding area - where to stay, what to do, etc pls PM me seperately.
Thanks

I flew J out of schipol back in june when lines were at their worst. I showed up exactly 4 hours before my flight and checked in at the desk to get a paper boarding pass. After that you can show the boarding pass to skip most security lines and get to the priority security line. There's still delays just navigating the crowd and getting the attention of the staff members who can move you through the line and more delays at exit immigration but it's not too bad. I got through in under an hour. Lounges were only taking passengers with a J boarding pass. Status didn't seem to matter. Still had to line up for 30 minutes. My flght ended up leaving 4 hours late. Was a long day in schipol.

I passed through AMS today - am on 827 right now.
Honestly it was fine - I arrived 2.5 hours early - a good hour than I normally would. But there was no line to get into the building, no line at check in, and I waited less than 5 minutes at security and passport control. You do have to show your boarding pass a few times to get access to the priority lines, but it was well signed.
