Hopefully, less controversial than the other topics currently in play.

Glad to see AUS gettting more overseas nonstops. We're actually planning an April trip to Amsterdam but KLM won't start up until May. The BA nonstop to LHR then a quick to Amsterdam will have to do.

Interesting. My wife travels to the Netherlands once or twice a year, but up until now it is always through Heathrow, I think. This might be a nice option if it works out time-wise.

I wonder if this is related to NXP having offices here in Austin and being headquartered out of Nijmegen.

Oh, geez, I am sure the Dutch government is filling out the visa applications, too, so they can actually get in the country once they arrive.

You can pick one of those u once you get to the states. I don't think they would fit in an overhead bin. Unless IKEA in Europe has something we don't know about

The shopping carts from IKEA come in rectangular boxes. Assembly required, but tool included.

I recently visited a friend in Amsterdam and took Norwegian to Gatwick UK, and then BA from there to Amsterdam. Norwegian is so much cheaper than BA for flights across the pond right now, we'll just have to see what prices KLM offers.

I just ran the numbers for depart 4-9 return 4-18 for 2 ppl.

Premium Economy from AUS to London Gatwick for Norw and LHR for BA.

BA is $149.00 cheaper.

Same "extras" such as seat selection, 2 checked bags, etc.
