    This is a very nice place to see planes from. Grab a hot drink as it is often colder than you imagined.

    The building of the museum is beautiful. We did need to make reservations for arriving at a specific time. It is a huge museum. The is so much art and paintings here that I had only seen on game shows. Seeing it in person is breathtaking. We got so tired that we were not even able to see the whole museum.

    I amsterdam card gives loads of option for attractions and city sight visits, however even though it includes the GVB public transport it does not include other public transport companies. Also it does not point out that you have to check in and out at all times with the travel card on bus, tram and metro as well.

    Also if you use I amsterdam card on your phone digitally it may going to clash with your Samsung, Google or apple pay, which is annoying. I have been double charged on my Samsung pay even though I was only scanning the QR code on the I amsterdam card.

    The train station is very conveniently located and could be accessed from the airport location.
    You may choose to ride first of second class.
    I did expect first class to have little more space for the passengers.

    System worked quite well but we just had about a 20 minute delay once we had arrived. Taxi was spacious, clean and the driver was pleasant. Overall impressed as read worrying reviews regarding taxis at Schipol. Taxicentrale were very good though.

    The representative at Schiphol suggested we do not use the shuttle because we would not have enough time to do our tour and make it back to the airport for our next flight home to America. Our KLM flight got delayed from Dubai to Amsterdam so we were not able to do our tour with Black Heritage Tours. I purchased this through Travelocity and this company provided me with a refund which was much appreciated.

    The lounge is secretly located two floor upstair to the departure floor. You have to find an escalator near the Gucci shop, then you go up one more floor by an elevator to enter the lounge. This lounge is open to star alliance gold members, priority pass holder and also paid customer. Food is not superb but acceptable. The lounge is a bit overcrowded. I read one review mentioning that you have to pay 18+ euro for a shower. However, this is not a case for a star alliance gold member. I am not sure whether priority pass members may need to pay for that.

    These taxis are the licened oned and are reliable in terms of costs. Never take a taxi not leaving from the offical taxi booth. The in-official taxies can be quite expensive.

    We arrived at the lounge and asked to wait for 111 people in front of us. Basically, if you are not holding business class tickets you are denied to the lounge as I see passengers with business boarding pass enter the lounge directly while we credit card holders are left in the dust.

    I will write to the credit card company and complain about it.
