Aspire Lounge 26
★3.3(3,815 reviews)AMS
An independent Aspire lounge at Schiphol — pay-in entry whatever you're flying.
Aspire Lounge 26 is one of the independent Aspire-operated lounges at Amsterdam Schiphol, open to passengers on a pay-in basis regardless of airline or class of service. It follows the familiar Aspire template that travellers will recognise from other airports — a hot and cold buffet, a bar serving wines, beers and spirits, Wi-Fi, and a mix of seating zones for relaxing or getting a little work done before a flight. As a pay-in lounge, it's a useful option at Schiphol for travellers who don't fly KLM, don't hold SkyTeam status, and want a comfortable place to wait without an alliance lounge of their own. Before you head over, check that Lounge 26 matches your departure side, as Schiphol splits into Schengen and non-Schengen zones after security.
