    There's a KLM plane at the panorama terrace! You can even go inside this Fokker 100. KLM, the best airline.

    Hint: if luggage was checked in till final destination in dept airport press "no" when it asks about luggage. If you press "yes" there's a glitch that stops the machine from printing the boarding pass

    Best airport in Europe and one of the best in the world. Shame they are changing to a central security system instead of the individual gate security they have now.

    Amazing tulip corners! Bulbs and the flower itself! The deli is kind of expensive, but has unique traditional products.worth it!

    Don't get fool, getting to the gate usually takes some time even if you have already passed security. If you are going to the US there will be an extra security check so make sure to have time to spar

    For those who suffered from cancelation of their flight by KLM due to bad weather conditions, don't wait in those endless lines. Call to your local KLM office if it is not Amsterdam! Good luck!

    If you happen to seal your suitcase padlock key in your suitcase (like a fool *ahem*); there's a wonderful man at Seal n' Go with a huge set of boltcutters down near desks 15-17.

    Plus, there is a smoking room between gate H&G, opposite of gate E (next to immigration) gate D in cafe Murphey's and in the Schengen area also at gate D. And you don't have to buy anything!

    Water and soft drinks slightly cheaper at "Fine Food" shops (EUR 2-2,50). Also frozen herring and Tony's Chocolonely chocolates. Smoking areas inside bar/restaurants.

    You don’t have to take off your shoes, take out liquids or your laptop here the TSA process is insanely efficient and I would go through it 800 more times if I could.

    If you are hungry go to La Place, which offers the most value for money in my opinion. Airport is great, clear to get around and quite clean👌🏼

    Nice designs and there is a fast line between the gates, but shipping bags takes a long time to arrive mostly. At all it’s a very good airport.

    As airports go, this is one of the more pleasant ones. If you’re actually reading these tips before choosing a connecting airport, let me just suggest: connect via AMS.

    The dutyfree shops are limited and the airport closes at 11 pm. If you have a transfer flight you will be directed to a very far corner. The staff is friendly and helpful

    Make sure you can use the priority lane as it saves you a ton of time. #klm provides this option relatively fast with their frequent flyer program

    Beautifully designed airport. Clean, good food options. It's an enormous airport though. Be careful with having enough time for connections. Customs is efficient.

    SIM Card/ Roaming / Tethering! Don't take the offer from the first counter (30.25€) 1GB --> Same package in the mainhall direct from LEBARA for 20€! And you can pay in $\£\CHF and they change fair!

    Love this airport one of my favorites - amazingly well organized - security check at gates is brilliant and makes travel a joy - Charles de Gaulle and JFK could learn a lot from this airport.

    If you normally check into the Delta Sky Club using your Amex Platinum Card, this won't work here :( You need an actual membership card with the Sky Club to get in.

    KLM lounge is upstairs and the best place to kill time between flights but there is also a casino if that's your thing.

    Why not visit the Rijksmuseum in Schiphol Airport, it's free and located in the passport control area between piers E and F. It's really great and you can see works of art from the Dutch Golden Age.

    This is the cleanest airport I’ve been in hands down. Don’t forget the check out the food court if it’s not close when you arrive. The bathroom are soooo clean

    The NS ticket machines here take Apple Pay, so it's one of the few places I've found to load € onto the OV chipkaart without a chip & pin credit card!
