15 mins are quick, I have flown in J on sq324 before covid and had to wait 40 mins on passport control. How long was the wait time for luggage?

Privium is a Schiphol Group brand, but also a business unit with its own budget. They have to compete with other business units for services and facilities, and pay for what they manage to get.

I am reading reports of a Facebook group that deals with travel and hearing that they arrived five hours ahead this morning for an Icelandair flight and still missed it. My daughter's boyfriend is due to fly out of AMS on Icelandair to BOS on Jully 2. I was thinking that since they are out of departures 1 and only operate one flight that it might not be as chaotic but apparently that is not the case.

Family and I will be flying from VIE-AMS-ORD in late July on a premium economy ticket on a US passport. Our baggage will be checked through KLM.
The current flight we are looking at has a 70 minute layover in AMS.
I assume once we land in AMS we need to clear something to exit Europe and that 70 mins is unrealistic?

Although annouced stopping of sale of tickets,
Still tickets available ex-AMS on peak days.
KLM certain that present bookings won't lead to mass cancellations.
KLM rekent door wat de maatregelen van Schiphol voor de vliegmaatschappij betekenen en verkoopt daarom nog steeds een beperkt aantal tickets. De luchtvaartmaatschappij verwacht niet dat het nodig zal zijn om bestaande boekingen op grote schaal te annuleren.

Source in Dutch:240 vluchten vanaf Schiphol, vanwege de personeelsproblemen op de luchthaven. Hierdoor worden ruim 13.000 boekingen getroffen.
Het gaat om vluchten die tussen 7 juli en 14 augustus gepland waren. Transavia zal vandaag alle getroffen passagiers op de hoogte stellen.
Ook in de rest van augustus moeten vluchten vanaf Schiphol geschrapt worden, onduidelijk is nog hoeveel. Reizigers die tussen 15 en 28 augustus reizen, krijgen half juli te horen of hun vlucht doorgaat.

Omgeboekt of geld terug
Volgens Transavia kan ongeveer 70 procent van de getroffen passagiers omgeboekt worden naar een andere vlucht, bijvoorbeeld op een andere dag of vanaf een andere luchthaven. Bij 30 procent lukt dit niet. Deze passagiers ontvangen het geld voor hun ticket terug, of kunnen hun reis uitstellen naar een ander moment.Ook in de rest van augustus moeten vluchten vanaf Schiphol geschrapt worden, onduidelijk is nog hoeveel. Reizigers die tussen 15 en 28 augustus reizen, krijgen half juli te horen of hun vlucht doorgaat.
