    Great variety of waiting areas & food. Best options of general seating areas - many w/different types of chairs, kid friendly areas & plenty of power access. Plus good food variety!

    The KLM intl' hub is a great option for your long haul flight. Big but not huge, very well connected with local transports, good choice of shops and restaurants, free WiFi and great land service!

    Excellent airport with free wi-fi. A lot of stores and restaurants, but not all, are closed airside during COVID-19 crisis; so no poffertjes, but you can have cheese.

    Plenty of shops for presents, loads of different alternatives for restaurants / coffee. Be careful with connecting flights, you might need to walk for some minutes from one end to the other...

    Very big airport. Give yourself plenty of time to reach the gate. The champagne bar/cafe is lovely and Murphys bar has the best 90's hip hop.

    Nice and clean airport. Navigating around is very easy with many info stands and there are plenty of good shops and restaurants. Prices are a bit high but it’s airport after all.

    Lots comfortable lounge chairs across the airport without having to enter a paid lounge. Many shops and restaurants to choose from. Large airport though so takes a while to walk to gate.

    One of the world's best airports. Especially great is its automation: check in online, drop baggage off at machine, scan passport, board plane, no humans. Only thing: toilets are always dirty AF. 8/10

    Amsterdamers, leave a bit of space in you bags or carry your AH reusable bag for your trip to do groceries from the AH at Schiphol plaza on your way back.

    Huge terminal with plenty of stores and activities, probably the best one in Europe to get stuck in for a long connection. There's even a casino for those who are into that!

    If you plan to shop for 25 € or more, download the Schiphol app, search for your departing flight and choose to track it. You will then get a 5 € discount voucher.

    Schipol: Organized, clean, authentic and beautiful... Immigration desks can be a pain point with short connections as they do get really really busy.

    Spacious airport, with enough entertainment and seats. Take enough time to go to your gates, or if you need to transfer between them

    If you're going to be stuck at an airport, this is the one to do it. Great layout, clean, efficient, countless dining choices, a museum, a casino, plus the coffeeshops are a 7 min train ride away!

    Favorite airport for good reason - rijksmuseum, holland blvd, airport park, panorama area, etc. Free wifi here. There's a lot to see and do. Find the open piano - listen to a stranger or play yourself

    If you have time I strongly recommend you to try the shiatsu cabin between gate D26-29. It's 5' massage for 2€ that totally worth it!

    Nice airport with good choice of food, coffee shops, stores etc. There's an outdoor area and numerous smoking rooms, so a great airport to transit and wait for you connection.

    Don't miss the chance to go out on the terrace (already after security controls) and breathe some fresh air and take a look on all the "birds" before their long journeys around the world!

    When you park at Privium P2, you only have hand luggage, you are already checked in and your plane leaves from gates B or C, then you can take the premium shortcut-bridge (skipping the departure hall)

    Free WiFi, many phone charging points, lots of dinner options (pizza place across Burger King in main hall is one of the best), few queues. But can get busy at peak times.

    Be mindful that if you’re coming from Asia connecting elsewhere you’ll have to go through immigration and security. When planning your trip, be mindful of the very tight knot when going through there

    KLM brand new lounge is great: good seats, tap heineken beer and food good enough you do not need to have dinner on the plane. And the coffee is awesome: Douwe Egberts!!!

    I like the Market Food Court on Concourse D. Up the escalator, next to one of the big duty-free shops. I like the central buffet area with fresh salads and nice soup, etc..

    Clean. Considering the fact that many different people from all over the world stay in Schiphol a few hours before their flight leaves, they have few to no vegan and allergy-friendly food options

    Grab something to eat and head up to the airport lounges if you have time. Just outside they have free leather recliners and a meditation room which is really relaxing after or before a long flight.

    Connections through AMS can range from extremely close to a 15-20 minute walk away. Make sure to follow the directions when landing and find the correct spot to get your connecting tickets.
