My experiences in Amsterdam are excellent with the ground staff--couldn't be more courteous and caring. At other airports, however, you might run into subcontracted staff, who really don't know and don't care. |

My experiences and those of family members have all been at Schiphol, over at least 5 occasions, none of them good! We try and steer clear of them. Gerrit - Oz |

For one and the same reason or for different reasons ? You seem to be loyal to visiting the airport anyways. |

Hey, when you have relatives living in the country you tend to go to the main airport there, so we are almost stuck with it. Next month we are trying something different. Flying from Perth to Paris and picking up a lease Renault there and driving to Vlissingen. Hopefully that is better. We have flown into Schiphol usually with Malaysian which has a code share with KLM and they use KLM's checkin staff. These have been pretty incompetent, eg taking much longer over simple checkins than elsewhere, the staff have been rude and generally unhelpful. Once we were flying AMS to Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi, and then after a week there Langkawi - Perth, they tried to book us AMS - PER - Langkawi and although I tried to tell her she was doing it wrong, wouldn't listen and took about half an hour to sort it all out, meanwhile muttering under her breath abouth about people who travel out of the ordinairy (I didn't think I was but still). And when it was sorted out tried to blame us! Gerrit |

My experiences and those of family members have all been at Schiphol, over at least 5 occasions, none of them good! I had a great experience with the ground staff at Schiphol. Was traveling with some associates on a business trip and we were ticketed AMS-LAX in 55A-B-C (I was the double-unlucky one in the middle). I tried out a little of my Dutch with the ground staff, and just when we were getting ready to head to the gate, the agent asked if I would be more comfortable moving - to 1-J! No legroom problems at all, as there's nobody in front of you, and nobody to your side. Had 2 drinks before we left, set the seat fully horizontal after takeoff, and snoozed for most of the flight. Wish every cross-the-pont trip was like that. :O) |

Yes, if you are (or at least speak) Dutch, that makes a huge difference in KLM service. |
