FabiánNovember 19, 2014Huge airport! It took me around 20 minutes to get from my arrival to the departure gate. Free Wi-Fi. Several stores to fill your belly while waiting. Very clean, nice, and warm.
Welcome to Amsterdam! Do not use the taxi system. Public transport is fantastic and easy. Just get a 1/2/3/4 day pass, an anonymous OV chipkaart, or better yet, an iamsterdam card.
Newly restored terminal, always a pleasure "stopping-over" here. By far the best selection of shops. ABN atm on every corner!
RexJuly 14, 2018Feels crowded due to compactness and low ceilings. Many shops and restaurants before and after security. Signage is excessive and sometimes incorrect. I-Amsterdam sign outside in case you missed it
Paul ThompsonFebruary 26, 2015Want some tasty Dutch treats to take back home - buy all your non-liquids in the Albert Heijn supermarket near the rail ticket office. Cheaper than inside the departure gate area.
Brendan ElliottJanuary 4, 2018It’s huge so leave plenty of time to get to your gate. The lost and found department were very helpful (yep I left a bag at the airport and didn’t have time to go back before boarding. They found it!)
When you've got an overnight layover, & can't make it into the city, & the airport hotels are full, go to the bread bar open 24/7 & then find the chairs by the sky lounges & make your own night of it.
One of my fav airports to fly back from the US via. No security on a return trip and speedy automated passport control! Plane to gate in 15 mins ;)
In my opinion one of the best airports in the world. Good security that uses the latest techniques, clean and lots of shops once you get through border security
Feeling stiff after a long flight? No worries, this airport will put you through about a month's worth of exercise going from gate to gate. And if you choose to go by moving walkway: mind your step.
Take your time and check in early, there are usually long lines for everything 😂
Michael MurungiSeptember 15, 2014I love Amsterdam. The view from above as we land is divine. And it's because the Dutch pushed back the ocean waters and made it that way. Imagine what else is possible.
Irina ChevzhikMarch 25, 2019Very big and nice airport. Not very easy to find train to Amsterdam. Watch out around and be attentive !!! Take your smile and relax !!!
- Yann PersonJune 10, 2016Huge airport but really easy to navigate through. Once you're done with security, there are a Starbucks and a Burger King :)
Haytham IbrahimJune 9, 2016So if your layover is more than 5 hours, you can easily take the train to city center (9EUR) return ticket. If 24 hour layover, you can stay in YOTEL inside airport for 90 Euro.
Elica KirilovaJuly 5, 2017One of my favorite airports. Very organized. It have everything - restaurants, shops, relaxing zone and etc. Very clean and protected. ❤️🇳🇱
Hop Leaf Beer Hong KongAugust 17, 2014Happy Seafood (in the railway station area) has some nice smoked eel and pickled herring sandwiches at a much better price than the better known Bubbles seafood bar (past security)
Ajay PaghdalMay 7, 2017I think it's one of the best, biggest and comfortable airport in Europe with its beautiful launch zones, different shops and pubs- Big nice airport. Exhaustive security check, it takes time to go through it and find your gate, so be cautious and go with enough time. Easy to reach from Amsterdam Centraal train station, costs 3.90€
Daniel EverettFebruary 1, 2015Self service restaurant La Plage. Food prepared freshly for you. Ordered a fresh beef entrecôte steak. Cooked medium rare with fresh fries. Very good . Smoothie Bar too.
Brian DammeirAugust 22, 2016One of the best airports in the world. Best food is the León before security. Only complaint is a lot of walking from some gates; give yourself plenty of time.
Concerts over the airport for some Christmas spirit :) good airport to be "stuck", lots of options and nice lounges.lockers for 7€ (M) or 9€ (L) for 24h
Angelos IoannisMay 31, 2013Park cafe on the upper level has very tasty and healthy burgers though a bit expensive. Try burger with avocado instead of cheese.
Friendly airport. Well organized. A very good shopping experience both arrivals and departures. Schiphol Plaza is a very convenient groceries place too.- Best European airport, clean, free wifi and nice duty free zone. Nice place to transit to
Tips: Enjoy the free Wifi, take home some delicious Stroopwaffles, and relax upstairs at the meditation lounge with stretch out reclining chairs! Peaceful and relaxing!
The best spot is betwen sections D and G, nicest seats, bathrooms, and restaurants. Well worth the walk
Cicero QuirinoOctober 2, 2014Impressive! One of the best in the whole world! Matter of fact, visit Schiphol, itself is already a trip that worth the passage to Netherlands
Super AttractionAugust 11, 2012Great and amazing 6D Motion Rides while wait for (connecting) flight at AMS. It's in Lounge 2 upper level, and next to XpressSpa and Network Bar. The rides last for 5 minutes, the experience for ever!
Elena Martinez-BaudritJune 9, 2015Great airport! Take notice that perfumes and liquors in the dutty free shops here are more expensive than in Paris or Rome. Besides that, super!
Terminal 3: even if you don't have any lounge access you should go to the 2nd floor right after the passport control. Those meditation center lounge chairs are quite comft
Muid LatifNovember 14, 2016Never felt sucha pleasant experience here. Smooth and efficient transition. Staff are super accomodating and friendly, airport is perfect by design.
Doc DruzsinJune 26, 2017It is a miraculous airport, every things one can wish or be in the need for, it is available and within reach.Excellent selection of flower bulbs, great gift idea.
Tania M PollokJanuary 15, 2017Best airport to have a long layover. Comfy seating areas in the duty free shopping zone. Drinking fountains at restrooms. Friendly security personnel.
Kamil KaradenizAugust 18, 2016It is a very big airport u dont need to worry about internet and charging ur mobile phone! Great place to wait for flight!
The food court is upstairs! Don’t get lost in the bars on the ground floor - try the vegan falafel wrap
Amit GaharwarNovember 14, 2014Try Happy Harvest near concourse D. Great food. Flights to UK are from D06. Be a bit early as there is a recheck if you are doing transfers to UK from EU.
Brian PowersFebruary 13, 2015Train station right inside the airport. Easy to go directly to the city center. If you have some time between flights, go check out the city!
Huge airport with lots of stuff to waste some time. It has been very clean when I went. Only minor down-side is that sometimes directions can become a bit confusing in this big of a place...
My favorite European airport for connections. KLM lounge could use some love, but there's free cheese samples!
Aran RodríguezSeptember 4, 2018Free wifi, security and passport control is very organized. Train station at the bottom level connects you to cities in the Netherlands and in Belgium.
Andrew GlazkovNovember 27, 2017Lovely place. Food court is fantastic. Many nice services for travelers.
Alex CurielDecember 19, 2018Nice airport! It’s very clean and the choice of shops/food is very good both before and after security! Absolutely loved it!
Holly_louSeptember 5, 2018One of the better international airports, lots to do and places to eat whilst waiting for your flight
Loving the new Jetsons style area for security check, replete with wall and ceiling gardens 😍 #cglifestyle
Yulia ZiMay 31, 2016This airport is a major hub and is giant in size. Baggage drop off line can extend around the corner, but moves along. If you don't like to rush and stress, give yourself 3hrs for International travel
Current passenger numbers can be handled again. I haven't seen lines in October/November (except for the fall break ~30-60min on economy.
