I have a intercontinentaal flight with KLM, but this option is still not available. There is the option of Economy Comfort, but this costs 93 euros per flight. Never done it, but not sure if it worth it :/ Do you think this price worth it for Economy Comfort?

My wife and I live in SFO and to get to West/Central European cities we have several options. KLM provides the best value for the buck of any of the premium economy experiences of any airline, including AF and UA. You can fly to Schiphol and then change planes very easily. For a 10 hour flight to AMS, it’s well worth the additional investment, but to get good seats you have to book early. There may be 21-30 seats in premium economy but maybe 12-16 in the outside seats. Agree that having access to an upgraded restroom would be nice but it would just cost more. And you might use the bathroom 1-2 times for the whole flight.

InterCity trains have a tricky extra fare from the airport you need to have validated if you're using an OV Chipkaart. There's tiny devices at the platform and there's no obvious signage of where you check in. You're very likely to get a fine if you don't do the second validation. A bit bonkers as they can detect automatically by the place you check in, out and the time you take. Thankfully NS were helpful but be warned!
@bryanaaldering Ай бұрын
This is only for the intercity Direct trains to Rotterdam (and Breda)! The extra fare is only for domestic Intercity Direct trains on the highspeed rail line between Schiphol airport and Rotterdam. If you don't want to pay this fare, you can take the normal intercity trains.
@TheSimArchitect Ай бұрын
@@bryanaaldering Thanks! And no, I don't mind paying. I just think it's extremely confusing when you're not aware of how. Even when they keep saying on the speakers to pay for it, there's no easily identifiable information. Even when an employee "pointed" from a distance I could not see it and I had to work hard to discover later. I don't know why they don't make it more obvious as it's right at the airport.

We arrived via Air France at Schipol, bought two tickets at the NS yellow kiosk for one way Amsterdam Centraal. We discovered that none of the NS trains go directly from the airport to Amsterdam Centraal. We had to get off the NS Intercity at Amsterdam Zuid and change to a Metro train our ticket card didn’t work but there was a worker who told us to just get on the train, which we did. When we got to our station our card wouldn’t allow us to exit (said invalid).

Hi Cliff, gosh I'm not sure what was happening with the trains when you arrived at the airport - there are usually so many trains going to Amsterdam Centraal.

Thanks for your comment. Where to stay in Amsterdam is tricky especially during the high season. I'm afraid I don't have any firm recommendations as I've never stayed in a hotel in Amsterdam before. I have heard from family and friends that WestCord Art Hotel is good. Separately I've had a tour of Bunk Hotel and they have an interesting concept of individual rooms above a sort of upmarket hostel - all based inside a former church.

I just got back from my first trip, beautiful city. BUT.......... catching a train, i asked two conductors on train "does this train go to this location?" "yes" came the reply. A few stops later things didn't seem right. So asked a passenger she said "not sure". Then both original conductors came back i asked them again, This time "No, this train does not go there, You need that platform over there" This was another lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. By sheer luck i jumped on a random train and got there! No thanks to two Dutch conductors a man and women!. And yes i was very polite so why mess about with a frail man on his own in a strange country/city. Plus another lie, there is not a tap in out system on ALL public transport! i had to jump a barrier! stick to taxis if you can afford it, my average trip 50 euros for a 20 min ride, but at least they get you there.
