What lounge in AMS
I did search but didn't find anything, mods - please merge if there is an existing thread.
I am travelling SLC - AMS - Scotland on Delta connecting to KLM Cityhopper in One/Business. My layover in AMS is quite a few hours - what lounge can I access (I do not have Delta status, just business tickets) in AMS so I can grab a snack and a shower?

You probably could have found this on the DL website quicker than it took to write the original post. The short answer is yes - Crown Lounge 52 is your lounge. It's huge, with a decent food spread and showers. The lounge can be super-crowded at peak times but not a bad place to spend a layover.

And best of all, plenty of showers. I always pack my carry-on for easy showering (toiletries, change of clothes, large plastic bag for the old clothes). You get a number at the little blue kiosk in front of the service desk inside the lounge.

However, depending on the time of day, the wait for a shower literally may be hours long. A couple of years ago I had a 2 h stay in the lounge (I think it was fairly early morning) and even within that time I did not make it to the top of the list for a shower...

This. Earlier this month I got into AMS around 8:30ish and it took 2 hours to get access to a shower, and with a 3 hour layover, it was too late. A week later, got there around 7:15 and the wait was a little over an hour. Going forward, if I'm on an itinerary where I'll want to take a shower, I'll ideally plan for a layover of at least 4 hours.
