I'm new to this site. We haven't flown SB for quite awhile. Here's want we're (Wife and I ) looking at. Getting off the cruise ship in AMS on August 8 2015, looking to fly SB on Delta from AMS to GSO. Stopping in either ATL or DTW. My real concern is the load factor out of AMS. Does anybody have some info that they can share? The SB fare is really good, don't want to let it go by us. Appreciate any help you can send my way. With much thanks, Danny
Welcome Danny. As of right now, 7 months in advance is hard to read. AMS has lots of options back to US. JFK, DTW, ATL, MSP and more. Please check back...
Thank you, Appreciate your reply. Will follow your advise and check back.
Welcome aboard Danny, and for us non DL’ers, what is “SB”, a buddy pass?
Sorry about that, guess I'm way out there and years behind, SB = Stand By.
Danny--you have many options out of AMS on DL (15 peak season). August could be IFFY; flexibility is key. You can always shoot for getting to CDG and flying to CVG or other gateway--even beyond like west coast if necessary. Also exiting EU via BRU is likely option. Do the moving map thing on travelnet. Start w/AMS, then branch out to accessible cities like CDG or BRU etc. I do a little chart or print out best SB itinerary, then scribble down options on back. ezeds are your best friend in Europe--KL, AF are on myIDtravel link. No way to say now what has worked in the past for other nonrevs. Stick around. You've got some serious help available here!

Mrs767er,
Thanks much, that's a lot of info, and all good. Now at least I have a starting point and base to work from. For sure I'll be close by. Thanks again

That has helped Coworkers in the past when MAD, CDG, AMS had full flights with lots of standby and LRH had wide open flights. Nonrever's hate paying more taxes so LHR is last, or not even on, peoples back up plans.
