Thank you everyone for your replies, very helpful.

So, we will have tests done as required for DXB.
Meeting the requirement to enter Netherlands... do you not have to quarantine on entrance? If so, do I not need to provide some sort of address where "I will quarantine"?

No - one of the categories for exemption is being in NL for less than 12hrs - complete the declaration accordingly. No one is going to look at it likely - BA may check you've got a correct looking piece of paper and then you won't see any officials in NL at all!

But isn’t this only if you stay airside?

Not by my reading - you can enter NL for up to 12hrs as long as you've completed the declaration (with exemption noted) and have a ticket to leave within 12hrs

I do find it all a little confusing - so Rapid Antigen would allow me to go LHR-AMS then AMS-LHR-JFK all with just one test??

Remember that the Antigen test for the US needs to be supervised but can obviously be also used for the Netherlands.

That sounds like an amazing agent - though I probably wouldn't have wanted to be in the queue behind you.
