Short layover on Schipol ok for flight to JFK?

Basically tittle. My and my partner are planning to travel to NYC early December. I check different options and I quite like KLM for round trip. We’ll be traveling from Prague to Amsterdam and them from there to JFK. On the way to USA it shows 1h20min layover time and for way back home only 55 min. I did read few posts talking about this on this subreddit and two of those posts had positive comments saying its no problem and one other post had lot of comments regarding bags not making it in time on 50 min layover.

These posts are about 2 years old so I’d like to ask basically same thing but its 2026.

Should we be fine with these times? How its with bags? They transfer them directly from plane to plane if I understand it correctly? I’ve never did intercontinetal flight so I have no idea, only flights around Europe so all 1-3 hours flights with not connections.

All help and experience will be highly appreciated

DCS guy trying to fly Cessna for first time

So yesterday I decided to go and buy msfs 2024 as someone who’s only flight sim experience is around 60–80h flying jets in DCS. Its been a blast so far and career mode is something I enjoy a lot together with simplicity of beginner planes. That is big + as someone who doesn’t have much time to sit and learn complex full fidelity fighter jets.

Anyway, did my PPL and then took first flightseeing gig. All went great, takeoff, route to fly around and fly around itself. But them I departed wrong way and as it was in hilly area I decided just to fly over that hill: put on full power and 20% climb. I somehow forgot I wasn’t in f15C and as I was only 75 knots before the climb and close to the mountain I just stalled the airplane and that’s how I killed me and my passengers on my first solo flight :) I guess no afterburner with Cessna 172
