Come early for departures outside the EU, especially if you're not an EU passport holder. You go through border control first and then security at the gate for most flights. Can be very slow.
Will PrestesAugust 23, 2012In case you need to check your connection flight after you land here, there are no flight boards. Look instead for rows of machines where you can scan your ticket and find out your gate number.
Shruti NarayanJune 9, 2013Huge airport, security very close to boarding gates for US flights and is after boarding, so shop and eat before you go through security, can't do it after security
Yano FloydDecember 31, 2011If you landing in Vienna and need to get to Bratislava/Users/yano/Desktop/itaxi.png most dependable way to get there call us or tweet us or VIP call me personly 00421 903 711 711 Yano
Diana ValdezAugust 11, 2011There's a nice smoking area inside the airport in case you are going just as transit. If you got more hours, there's a museum inside too¡ Staff is very, very nice.
Getting picked up by car friends or family? Go to Departures when you land to avoid parking problems!
Tota AliMarch 30, 2015Well-organized airport. Free Wi-Fi for an hour. You will find nap chairs in terminal D.
Thanks to the renovations this airport finally gets the modern and friendly/international look it deserves!
Everything works good and as it should. Including free wi fi service
Alberto FeldmannDecember 30, 2016Extremely organized and well designed airport. Good options to wait for the connection.
Jackson TsaiSeptember 8, 20141st stop of our one month backpacking Europe trip! This airport has a main station connected to get to downtown
- Jon FloydMay 12, 2015Rembrandt bar and the hello goodbye bar for coffee a pastries in the morning - if you can eat them...!
If you come here, and get past security and all those shops, you might be able to get into a plane (ticket needed)
One of the best airports I've ever seen. Really big. Great shops.
- One of the best and convenient airport in Europe, thanks Schiphol
Matthew M.June 21, 2016Huge airport. Make sure to leave plenty of time if you need to change terminals between flights. Took almost an hour while I was there - lots of walking.
One of the stupidest airports in Europe. More like a shopping mall with an runway attachment. You have to go through scanner security AT the gate...
I love this place. .and KLM company. .prefer to fly this company)))
Parissa AzarvandJuly 6, 2011The free wifi sucks. If you have the time head over to the KLM lounge free wifi. You have to be business class to enter but you can still chill outside and pick up the signal. Password> KLMddmmyy
If the weather is nice, go spend some time outside on the Airport Park Terrace at the entrance to gates D 59-87 on the second floor. Open from 07:00 to 20:00.
Ivan CastilloApril 3, 2014Pretty big airport, much better than I expected, plenty of restaurants and shops, quite convinient for long transfers
Eric AndersenJune 9, 2013Most stores and restaurants accept a variety of currencies — check the photo
the best airport ever! such great, welcome and well-organized as this country!
If you have to get a boarding pass for joint KLM/Aeroflot flight: don't go to T5 (Aeroflot), they're useless. Can't even look a flight up by number! T4 are much better (KLM). Self check-in also works
Claire En VoyageOctober 15, 2016Waiting for passport control at arrivals for 40 minutes now, 3 officers for all non eu citizens instead of 7, plus 2 for eu. There is no WC here and hardly possible go back upstairs considering crowd
Onur KorayOctober 14, 2014Has some nice stores that help you kill time and the passport police is acting friendly. However It's not so good to see everything getting closed before the day is over. Also some gates are too small
When you arrive with the train to the Airport it is really easy to go to the check in area.
K.Efe TansuMarch 29, 2015Wi-fi password is "EuropesBestAirlineTK" .. Just kidding wi-fi is free.(this tip contains subliminal message)
Such a big airport. Takes an hour to walk from one side to another. Plus, a high chance of getting lost because of all these shops that recur a few times.
Welcome home! Enjoy your trip! Always a good time!
Meg LakeDecember 29, 2014If you're just passing through, have lunch/dinner before you go through passport control. The food is much better than it is in the international terminal!
SedaMay 17, 2017Huge!we had to run from one side to the other to catch our plane!There must be shortcuts to the gates!!
Daisy WillemsFebruary 28, 2013Great airport. Nice shops, good service and a relaxing way of travelling!
S ManchOctober 2, 2012Head up towards lounge #52 and near the meditation area are lay down lounge chairs. Comfortable for long layovers
ᴡ ChuaSeptember 24, 2017Lots of shop and food places to check out while on a layover. Direct train to amsterdaam central
Wanderlust CraveJune 5, 2016Leave PLENTY of room for security and passport control. Otherwise well run, many dining and shopping options
Rosa RomdelNovember 20, 2017Free wifi, clean bathrooms but ir you want something to eat past midnight ... only burger king si available
A 6pack of stroopwafels (syrup waffles) makes a great gift for the folks at home.
