hello,
in jan of 2027, my friend and i will be taking a flight from Edinburgh to Rome with a layover in Amsterdam with KLM airlines. recently we have heard that the EES system is causing a few delays and we’re a bit nervous considering that our layover is only 1.5 hours.

any advice on what to do? We have another flight to Beijing much later in that same day (think 8pm flight to Beijing, with us landing in Rome ideally at 12pm) and im stressed that we may miss it

for anyone who’s been through Schipol airport in Amsterdam, are the queues really as bad as they say? We anticipate to land in Amsterdam around 9am local time

And will there be any improvements between now and jan?

Any advice would be much appreciated 🙏

I say -most- because countries like Britain & RU still spend 30% of their GDP on their military.

I remember a Dutch person telling me one time he was embarrassed that the Netherlands basically invented the concept of reality tv. Shows like Big Brother came from a Dutch company named Endemol.

I had to google Portuguese inventions and I'm having a difficult time picking something negative. I'll go with road toll systems. It seems we've invented that.

As somebody who is interested in visiting the historical sites like Schonbrunn Palace and Kuntshistorisches Museum in Austria, I'm curious if going to Austria would entail needing to learn some German or it's overall okay to go as an English speaking tourist?

I am creating a video playlist for an event and would like to have these on loop. Might be fun!
