Amsterdam British Airways Business Class lounge review
The new British Airways Business Class Amsterdam Lounge is far superior to the previous lounge, with improved lighting, views of the runways, and full height windows along one side, much like the new Galleries lounges at London Heathrow. To get to the British Airways Amsterdam lounge, head to the junction of 'lounges' (IE, airport areas) 2 and 3, and take the lift. Ahead is a pay-in lounge, while to the left is the British Airways lounge. The new reception area looks impressive with contemporary lighting and finishes, and generally with two staff on the door. There are two main parts to the lounge, the dining and seating area. The main seating area has four banks of comfortable and private velvet wing-back chairs, and power points throughout the lounge, allowing you to work from almost any seat. Most people however tend to sit themselves at the computer or dining tables, with the computer area now almost an overflow dining area, thanks to the way most people take their own devices. The dining area has lots of dining tables crammed in opposite the buffet area. There is also a small white bench, overlooking the windows. Quite often the British Airways Amsterdam Lounge is pretty empty, with not too many travellers around the place, and there is plenty of room to spread out on cushioned chairs. However, for the morning Cathay Pacific flight it can be packed, and then some. On the wall there are a couple of TVs showing BBC World or CNN. When you come to leave, be aware that the gates BA use are at least a good 10, maybe 15 minutes' walk - it is not an easy stroll.

There are only basic food and drinks in the lounge, with an average selection. At breakfast time the food selection is minimal, mostly packaged foods, some wrapped muffins and fruits, juices and yogurts. There are sandwiches at lunchtime and in the evenings. Other than that, there are olives, radish, and miniature pickles. This is euphemistically described by BA as "Cafáé style dining".
