AMS arrival lounge??
does anyone know if theres an Arrival Lounge for either SkyElite members whether aPlat on NW or CO? what if flying in BF?
If there is where is it located? Im heading over and a Friend is also but there will be some down time between the time both of Us get in, so I figured its easier to meet at an Arrivals Lounge rather then try to hook up elsewhere. We both will be going with Carry-ons Only

Do a search - this has been discussed countless times.
If you are SkyTeam Elite Plus (which you are if you're NW or CO Plat), you can use any KL lounge in AMS. The lounges are very often crowded. Continental flights arrive on Pier G. Follow the signs to baggage claim and immigration where there will be signs pointing you upstairs towards the lounges. You can use KL or even AF lounges. (Do not go through immigration, of course, to get to the lounge).
CO does not have its own lounge at AMS Schiphol.
Lounge #'s for KL lounges: 25, 41, 52. You can't get to lounge 25 unless you enter the Schengen area of Schiphol, which means you must pass through passport control near Pier C/D. Lounges 41 and 52 are impossibly crowded because of all the plats arriving from the States at the same time and waiting for further connections on KL or NW.

I didnt expect that CO would have their own Lounge, but didnt find anything about Arrival Lounge. Use to LHR where there are Arrival Lounges which are different from the reg Lounges, as they are AFTER LHRs INS.
Believe it or not calling the Plat Desk didnt help much as all they told me was what is in the above post. Didnt know if I could access them or not.
