My trip to Amsterdam wrapped up and it was time to head home. I took British Airways to London City Airport, and the actual flight time was only about half an hour! Of course, you can also take the Eurostar, but nearly five hours on the train isn\u2019t really an advantage. Before leaving, I checked the Oneworld website and wait, they\u2019ve opened a new Oneworld-branded lounge in AMS?! I had to go take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had nothing going on that afternoon, so I arrived at the airport early. The train from the city takes just over ten minutes and costs five euros, far better than London! Amsterdam Airport only divides departures into Schengen and non-Schengen, not terminals. The upside is easy transfers; the downside is that the airport is huge and tiring to walk, especially the twenty-minute taxi after landing every single time, which is enough to break my spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, back to the lounge. AMS lounges are numbered, and the numbers generally follow a geographical sequence, so they\u2019re not too hard to find. The Oneworld lounge is No. 40 and next door, No. 41, is the Aspire Lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n

I\u2019ve actually been to this lounge before: it used to be the British Airways lounge, and I remember it being extremely mediocre. In 2024 it reinvented itself as the Oneworld-branded lounge, and I hoped it wasn\u2019t just a name change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to say, the first impression at the entrance was excellent: the design gives off a kind of time-tunnel vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n

The interior continues that aesthetic: fashionable, modern, and a little futuristic.<\/p>\n\n\n

It feels somewhat inspired by space travel. The lounge isn\u2019t large, but the facilities are quite complete. There are enclosed office rooms:<\/p>\n\n\n
