On the subject of the lack of covered walkways/buses at one of Europe's wettest airports.
I arrived on the Amsterdam flight on Friday night and we parked on stand 9. So, not the worst stand, but a reasonable walk from the terminal. At the time, there was light drizzle, so at least it wasn't the torrential rain of Sunday. However, on our way to the terminal, we were halted because an Easyjet aircraft was manoeuvring off either stand 6 or 7 (don't quite remember). Now, I know they couldn't have let us pass, but considering the rain, it would have been better to hold us on the aircraft until we could go. It would only have been a couple of minutes and it was the aircraft's last rotation of the day, so it wasn't as though they needed a quick turnaround.
Of course, given a bus, it wouldn't be a problem...
