Aspire Lounge (41) (Non-Schengen)

This is one of The best lounges I have been to. The only problem is that the airport is under renovation and it's quite hard to find the lounge and it takes about 15 minutes to get in.

Pier

To be honest the lounge is a bit better compared to my last visit. It even seems like the coffee machine is new. Not a great lounge but not a disaster like it used to be.

Eyal

Brand new lounge that has a 10 min walk outside to get to it through construction. Great decor. Lots of seating and electric outlets. Limited but decent snacks. Good drink selection.

Kristine

Pas mal du tout. Le seul problème est l'accès depuis l'extérieur et quand il fait froid et qu'il pleut c'est vraiment moyen!

Vince

Great alcohol selection with a Heineken tap. A variety of food, including a few hot snack items. The lounge seemed very new and there were many outlets. It was not crowded.

Josh

Clean, free fast internet, Heineken on Tap...

Martin

As of May 2015, because of construction, the lounge is a 5+ minute walk from the access point in the terminal. Star Golds have access.

Billiken

Price is now 30 Euros, 40 including a shower. A modern lounge with a great view of the airport. Snacks are limited, drinks are not. Overall, a very refreshing but pricey way to spend a 4 hour layover.

Decent but nothing special. Food is basic. Fast internet for just 1 hour. Chairs are comfy.

Dimitris

Comfortable & good view of runway. Food is tasty but limited, as seen in photos. Plenty of power points. There is WiFi but very sketchy 3G coverage. Could be bit cleaner - someone collecting plates?

Len

Very basic. Crowded. Very little food.

Bill

Jam packed!! But free booze and beer.

Vast improvement aesthetically, still not too much f&b offerings, but pleasant for a quick stop & snack/drink.

Kirkwood

One of the best Priority Pass lounges. Due to construction, it's a haul to get there. Snacks, booze, and nice chairs await. I enjoyed this lounge.

Andrew

The friendly and professional staff kept the place spotless. The windows that oversee the tarmac light the place up. There's a variety of seats. Food & beverages are OK but nothing special. Good WiFi.

StarmieAlliance

Great place. Only suggestion: with such great Dutch cheese and salami, you should provide some fresh bread or rolls.

Ron Man

Not such a good food selection as the KLM lounge but not bad. Way better than the previous lounge at AMS. Massive windows offer a great view of the apron. Wifi a bit flaky. Awful music.

James

A nice, modern lounge with better food that some. For breakfast that had warm croissants and spreadable cheese. There is an espresso machine and, a Heineken tap, and a selection of wine.

Tiffany

Great views of the airport and lots of natural light but that is about the extent of the amenities when I visited. Food had run out, children running wild and not a house keeper to be seen.

Simon

Modern, light and airy lounge, well laid out with a variety of comfortable furniture. Reasonable range of drinks including a self service Heineken tap. Snack selection was rather limited though.

David

Internet is appalling - you can pay to upgrade but very exoensive

Richard

It's $50/€30!!! Barely any food. Not a great experience.

Béla Molnar

Uncomfortable seats, terrible food, crowded. Better off waiting in terminal. Only plus is the staff at SQ end were friendly. Overall one of worst lounges in network.

David

Nice lounge with decent space. The restrooms are clean. Nice tarmac view. The food was disapointing.

Sander

Selección sencilla de alimentos pero amplia en bebidas. Limpio, cómodo y mucha luz (no podrás dormir con facilidad).

Manuel

Aside from it being a bit of a journey due to the airport renovations, overall it's a good solid lounge. Plenty of selection for food and drinks.

Garrett

Loved it. Decent spread for a lounge, and fairly reasonable price tag. Spacious, and great view of the tarmac - a big factor for an avgeek like me!

Aengus

Kind staff, yummy savoury pastries, well stocked around breakfast time. Not a wide variety of food, but enough for my liking. And fruit, always a good thing. Outlets all over. Comfortable chairs. View👍🏻!

Tjarda

Nothing much to eat or drink. Very long walk to the departure area!

Amm

Loving is nice enough. But at 9 am they had coleslaw and pasta salad. No bread. Just an odd breakfast. It was clean but no one came around to pick up dishes.

Rachel

I couldn't stay long but at least they had bottled water and snacks you could take away. So better than KLM lounge on that front.

Anonymous

Much better than the Aspire Lounge in the Schengen Area.

Patrick

Very nice lounge. Food was limited in range but really tasty. The work going on in the middle of the lounge did not impact (but it was a Sunday), lots of choice to drink. Easy access to power sockets.

Kevin

It's been over a year and the route to this lounge is still under construction. Showers are very expensive (€17.50) and are cramped and lacking amenities. Food limited but good. Views are great.

Liz

It's too small, and very loud.

Jan

As of today, the entrance is no longer through a construction site. Just go up the escalator and the the elevator and you are there.

It's a ways out of the way, but it's worth it for the hot snacks and self serve bar.

Erik

Awesome lounge with plenty of snacks and a decent selection of alcohol. Really can't ask for much more. Great place to relax and unwind before your flight!

Garrett

Good views but that's about it. Free alcohol and a few snacks.

single_flyer

Food selection was small, good pastries. Beer tap available as well as alcoholic beverages. Priority pass members only 3 hours.

Sergio

Good but basic lounge. If you don't have access to the other airline lounges, this one is good to hang around before your flight in a relaxing atmosphere.

Marcel

Quick and easy and rarely too crowded like the KLM Crown Lounge, which can be a zoo at times. Good alternative.

Anonymous

Fairly basic lounge, limited and ordinary selection of snacks. Decent range of spirits and mixers. Newspapers for lounge use only.

Deckleff

Just a few snacks, not great seating, public bathroom outside is nicer. Quite open and busy so can't do any real work/calls etc. Probably better to go to a restaurant instead.

Anonymous

Very few snacks and beverages, good serviré and space.

Ramiro

Nice staff, an airy feel and great design make it a nice place to spend time. The food is fairly snacky though so I'd eat elsewhere if that's what you want.

The Flying Penguin

Very busy and loud lounge! Not very good to do some work. Go sit in one of the nice restaurants, you will get better value.

Jean-Pierre

Comfortable seating but poor selection of food (as with BA lounge next door) and not a very wide selection of drinks, either.

Steve

Nice lounge with good food for breakfast, panorama is okay for avgeeks, only few TV screens, newspapers available. It can be crowded as almost all non-SkyTeam airlines are sending their pax there.

Jasiu

Comfortable lounge with nice tarmac views. I did not find it crowded either in the early morning or around midday. Not deluxe but perfectly nice place to while away some time.

Conrad

3 front desk staff and 2 of them ignore guests checking in leaving only one staff person to check in a growing line. Not impressed.

Arpita

Nice clean lounge....at 6:48 a.m. It is mildly crowded but maintains its quiet atmosphere. Food and drinks are fresh and filling. Would return to this lounge!!

Tamra

17 euros for a shower on top of the entry. Wifi wasn't working.

Rowan

Super crowded lounge for Star Alliance flights. Hardly a seat left in the entire lounge while a separately cordoned-off area for SQ passengers towards the back of the lounge is completely empty.

Matthias

This lounge is overcrowded. Very very limited food offering. Cheap wine. Coffee machine not maintained to function properly. Surprise any airlines use this. SG has roped off section so they must know.

Anonymous

The simple snacks, basic drinks, and rail liquor and wine are fine. The space is routinely overcrowded depending on the timing of the visit. Shower is clean and warm but not so well designed.

Daryn

Not a bad lounge. Hit or miss on friendliness of the staff. Upon entry, I was informed several times of a 3 hour time limit and discouraged from entering at least twice as they were busy.

If flying UA to the US, this is your lounge. Crowded at 1100. Decent breakfast and comfortable. 20 minute walk to the G gates UA uses, though.

David

One of the best, all was great, recommended.

Sergiu

Busy, but clean. Average selection of beverages. Crowded too, nothing special for a world class airport.

Anonymous

I expected a bit more from a large international airport. Internet was terrible, food choice was limited to soup, but it still beats waiting at the gate for 3 hours. Drink choices were great too.

Jonathan B.

Nice with a decent breakfast and lunch selection. At 11 am - 12 noon it was crowded but one could still find a place to sit. It is better than the average lounge with both hot and cold food.

Glenn L.

Denied to enter with the PrPass around 8am - was told to return... after 11am when they will have less visitors ;( People are going out frequently, it's logic to wait but they are denying everyone.

Dmitry

Good lounge. Nicely decorated, good food selection, including a Bloody Mary bar! However, it can be VERY far from your gate.

Anonymous

I got rejected at the gate. Priority Pass has no priority.

Yu-kai

Crowded at 9am. Unhealthy food selection but nice staff.

Michael

I was turned away at 8:40am on a Sunday morning due to having a Priority Pass. It didn't appear to be full inside.

Anonymous

Doorman is rude and yells at Priority Pass holders.

Refuses people from credit card partnership cuz lounge is ALMOST full. If they can't handle the compromise they make, they should cancel the partnership with the credit card. Very crappy lounge aswell.

Bernardo

TERRIBLE!!!! In my own honeymoon wouldn't allow me to enter, because they only wanted first class passengers instead of Diner's Club customers. Such an absurd!

Flávia

Good lounge and good food. Away from gate though.

Shower worth every coin. I wish they had put a toilet in the shower.

Atwooki

Great high speed Internet, was great to be able to download some video quickly.

Great lounge with awesome views.

Anonymous

Eten/snacks zeer beperkt. Wordt slecht aangevuld. Toiletten vette vloer en niet van het laatste uur. Kortom benodigd heel wat verbetering!

Ton

At 8:00 AM denied access to Priority Pass holders while letting many others go in. Apparently had seats but not for Priority Pass holders.

Anonymous

Excellent food and drinks with apron views. Friendly staff and very comfortable seats.

George

Lounge was conveniently right after security gates. Accepted myself & my 2 friends on my Priority Pass. Great view of apron. Good food/drink selection. Many types of seating (booths/tables/chairs).

Hova1914

Nice lounge, great airside view and food offerings. It's only too bad that its quite a walk from some gates and that you have to pay for showers.

Alexander

This lounge is for departing flights only!! Although no where does it say this. Attendant was very unhelpful.

Michelle

Good basic Dutch food spread with serve your own drinks, plenty of seating when I was there but there is a larger more comfortable first class area roped off. It’s a bit far from the gates.

Jackie

Not letting Priority Pass members in FYI.

Ryan

The lounge did not have enough seating for everyone they let into the lounge. When I came, only uncomfortable seats were still available. The food selection is good, but basic and has fast WiFi.

Anonymous

From 8-10am this lounge is at capacity so they denied all Priority Pass holders. The food/beverage selection is good, but runs out frequently especially the alcohol. It’s great being away from gen pop.

Galina

Good Swissair lounge with excellent runway/apron views. Limited range of food/snacks but replenished frequently and of good quality.

Dave

Average business lounge with a standard choice of drinks. The breakfast is good. From 8am on it's too crowded.

Chris

Food selection limited, but OK. Seating is nice, with a view onto the tarmac. Shower is cramped, like a campground shower, but no seat. You get 1 towel, no floor mat. Charge is a whopping EUR 15!

Anonymous

Nice selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, inkl. smoothies and fruit juices. Food very limited, but okay. View on runway is good and there is enough space for everybody. Closes at 23:00.

Anonymous

Food very limited but a very nice view. Very crowded. The front desk couldn’t handle LoungeBuddy at first but after a few minutes we were granted access.
