KLM Crown Lounge 52 (International)
★4.2(9,282 reviews)AMS
KLM's flagship non-Schengen lounge — SkyTeam status and premium cabins for intercontinental flights.
KLM Crown Lounge 52 is KLM's flagship lounge at Amsterdam Schiphol, in the non-Schengen area for intercontinental and non-EU departures. As Schiphol is KLM's home hub, this is the larger and more prominent of the airline's two Crown Lounges, serving SkyTeam Elite Plus members and KLM and partner passengers travelling in Business and First Class on long-haul routes. It carries KLM's signature contemporary design with a buffet, a bar, generous seating split between relaxation and work zones, and Wi-Fi throughout. Because it sits beyond passport control in the non-Schengen zone, it's the right lounge for passengers heading intercontinental or to non-Schengen destinations; travellers on European flights use Crown Lounge 25 on the Schengen side. It's the most consistent branded-airline experience at AMS.
Crowding · busy at peak
A comfortable pre-flight workspace with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and dedicated work zones — fine for getting things done before a long-haul flight.
A larger buffet befitting a flagship long-haul lounge — hot and cold dishes, salads, sandwiches and snacks alongside a bar serving wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks, plus coffee and tea. The spread suits the longer dwell times of intercontinental departures.
