Although it's now 45 minutes past its latest revised departure time, it doesn't look as if it is going anywhere anytime soon. Running 2½ hours late, and counting. One wonders how LHR somehow manages to make do with two runways, as does DUS, and many others. LGW has essentially only one, yet that somehow works. Although AMS currently has three full-length runways in use, chaos reigns for the fourth day running. Good grief. Johan |
Delayed out of FRA here too by well over an hour. FRA itself is nigh deserted so I'm assuming this is because of AMS.
Not even exaggerating btw… https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...4/IMG_7078.JPG |
Just heard from a nephew who flew out from AMS on one of the early morning flights that actually departed on time, and even arrived a few minutes early. He said made it through security by 6.26, and described the experience as "absolute chaos".

That's is just ridiculous, but not even the worst case today by far.

Wow!

Buitenveldertbaan in use again - but what about the incredible lines at security? For some reason I don't think an extra available runway will do anything to shorten them. |
Those schedule screenshots look horrible, and it is Tuesday already. I'm flying out of AMS on Thursday and hope that I won't run into that mess.
AMS website currently warning passengers about long lines for check-in and advising them to "Come to the airport on time, but not too early". A more quantitative recommendation would be more useful! https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6ed407630d.png |

The airport's inability to handle the number of passengers they knew would be coming is a different matter. Johan |

I was affected by this yesterday - I was booked on KLM from NCL-AMS-xxx but couldn't get a boarding pass. Very slow queue at NCL, because they were rebooking anyone with a connection at AMS onto other carriers. I ended up rebooked via LHR on BA, arriving at xxx almost 6 hours after my original scheduled arrival.
Would you mind sharing the contact email you submitted this to? I think I should be entitled to €250 compensation based on the length of delay. This would at least cover the overnight stay in a hotel at xxx that I incurred as a result of the delay (I was unable to get to my final destination as it was so late, but I know duty of care only extends to the destination airport, i.e. xxx in this case). |

KLM Actually have an online tool which I found to work very smoothly - https://www.klm.co.uk/information/refund-compensation
Also, when I click through it only lets me select individual flights on the itinerary e.g. NCL-AMS or AMS-xxx (rather than the whole journey). As the delay was at my final destination due to IDB, I suspect it would be better to submit these as one request by email... |
Schiphol is once again limiting access to the terminal today.
|
Not that many delays today, so the problem is presumably security again?
Johan |
Understaffed and overcrowded, with hours-long security lines or essentially a giant crowd everywhere airside (many pictures and videos in social media)...

Thanks for flagging this up! However, I may be missing something but this only seems to refer to vouchers as compensation rather than cash.

At AMS, line to go through security is hours long, and there is no sky priority… we are all plain mortals today. Airport completely unprepared to handle the masses.
(check in still had the SP desks operational and that alone took also 30 minutes). Edit: In the end it was just one hour and a half because in the first floor we were allowed to use priority for security but that was only after we had done the huge line. If someone else was these days at AMS I want to know: is there some special security line at Privium and was it operational? I would consider joining to avoid this mess |

Complained on Twitter, the response was that the Privium management did not know that Privium security was not fully functional. They promised to investigate. Next week I'm flying again, wondering what kind of mess I can expect again. |
