I went to live in the states in 1999, flew KLM from Aberdeen via AMS. They lost my bag. I came home for Xmas hand baggage only, At the gate in AMS they said I could not take the bag on as the flight was full so it would be put in the hold. It did not arrrive in Aberdeen. I swore not to use them again and I did not for 5 years until I transferred to Malaysia. I came home on my first trip KL AMS Bristol. Gueass what NO BAGS. I do have to go to AMS regularly working as I do for an Anglo Dutch IOC but avoid checking a bag. I do agree that the Noodle Bar is the best place to eat.
