Final Thoughts of KLM Crown Lounge Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Amsterdam Airport is crowded and extremely busy, so I was glad I had lounge access with my business-class ticket. Even though the food was disappointing, and the lounge crowded, it was not the worst place to be in the crowded airport.
It is by no means a world class lounge but we find it a much more comfortable place to pass a couple hours than the usually bustling terminal. The coffee is good, the seating comfortable, they have an in-lounge smoking room if that is important, and the buffet is what I would call 'good enough' for what it is.
The KLM Crown Lounges at Schiphol are superb places to rest and work. They are available to business class flyers, or travellers with a Flying Blue Platinum or Gold or SkyTeam Elite Plus membership. Once you're there, you can work quietly, relax before your flight, or enjoy a healthy snack before your flight.
The biggest downside with airport lounges, especially in recent years, is the crowds. Lounges are far from exclusive, since so many credit cards offer access. There are several ways this can dampen the lounge experience: There can be long lines to check in to popular lounges.
Free accessVisiting our Crown Lounges is included in your Standard and Flex ticket. Flying Blue Platinum and Gold members and SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers can visit the Crown Lounges as well. They get to bring 1 guest free of charge.
Non-Flying Blue members can also buy lounge access with cash or credit card. Access to the lounge is also available to Flying Blue Platinum and Gold members who have a KL flight, operated by a (SkyTeam) partner.
Overall, the new KLM Crown Lounge 52 for non-Schengen passengers is a massive space and a much-needed improvement over the old lounge. But I do have some problems with it. The pros include great food options to fill your belly and plenty of shower suites to freshen up after a long-haul flight.
KLM is now offering access to Sleep Cabins located in the flagship Non-Schengen Crown Lounge at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The cabins provide an ideal space for those seeking privacy and a step up in comfort from the regular rest area. There's more than just a bed.
If you have status/are allowed in I don't think they limit your time. I have never had any problems staying at the Schiphol KLM lounge for more than three hours. I think the longest I stayed was about ten hours after a missed connection. They even have sleep pods you can book now and an outside terrace.
1.4 You can enter the Lounge at any time before departure, as long as it is on the same day of departure. Be sure to check the opening hours of the Lounge on lounge.klm.com . 1.5 Once you've purchased Lounge Access, it is not possible to change, transfer, or cancel your reservation.
Access at a feeYou can access most worldwide lounges at a fee between EUR 20 and EUR 65, which you'll pay upon entrance. Make sure you can pay by Miles or credit card, as paying with cash is not possible.

Every traveler has different needs and expectations, so determining which lounge is worth the money can be very subjective. If a status climber or frequent flier is loyal to a certain airline or credit card, for instance, they'll likely choose those lounges over the others.
