    Big and clean. To get an Uber you need to get across the street and it might be a bit confusing but everyone will help you out.

    Friend got racially profiled. Also when you have a layover at AMS and end up on the M terminal, you have to exit the and re-enter through security to get to your connecting flight

    Take the train, located right under the airport. Buy your ticket in the big Schiphol plaza. Quite reliable, 10 minutes to amsterdam central, 17 to Leiden CS, 30 to Den Haag, take Fyra to Rotterdam.

    Very organised airport. Quite easy to find your way and nice staff if information is needed. Very convenient place to get your tax blue money back.

    Next time you arrive to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and want to take a bus, first look at the screens with info right in front of exit doors. You'll save a lot of walking looking for your bus number!

    For lunch buy a freshly baked roll in the bakery section and a warm meatball in the butcher's section in the the Food Village Supermarket behind Starbucks for one of the best meatball sandwiches.

    This is a big airport so going to the baggage hall and arrival hall can take minutes. Also, picking up your baggage can take time because 3 flights share one conveyor belt.

    When you landed and feel too tired for public transport i recommend to go upstairs to departures 3 and take a cab from there. The fare price will be 10% off.

    Go upstairs toward the lounges and follow signs to Mediation Area. There are lounge chairs you can sit in and put your feet up. Also, nicer toilets I'll here near BA lounge and showers.

    Offers 1 hour free wifi + the famous "folan el folany u r delaying the flight, immediate boarding plz at gate X".. This is perhaps the second largest hub for transit flights i've seen after Heathrow

    Huge airport, we’ll laid out for being an international hub. Some of the gates are far removed from restrooms & food courts so plan ahead.

    The train to Rotterdam only takes 25 minutes and rides 5/hour if you want to experience something different from Amsterdam

    Beautiful airport. The best way in and out is the train. Cheap and fast. Catch a train to the Schipol station and then take a cab, if wanting other options.

    Transfers - note that you likely have to go through security again for any connecting flights. But in the Early am they were quite fast and can keep shoes on

    A great airport. They have showers at the airport and they are all clean. And if you want you can have a massage by paying.

    If you are going to Amsterdam take a train, it costs 4.40 euro per direction. Don't forget the third station from the airport is Amsterdam central station.

    Busiest, and the most strict and secure airport in Europe. They have a body scanner machine and do manual search on your body so DON'T you dare! 😈😈

    Big! Some very good places to eat and lots of shops. Security is actually at the gate so bear in kind when heading to the gate that it takes more time

    Main airport in the Netherlands. Huge amount of shops and bars present so you won't get bored easily. Never lose sight of your belongings since pickpockets are near.

    In a rush to make a connection - security screening has gotten more intense here. Take every cable, anything remotely "electronic" and any and all containers or they will completely search your bags.

    The best SkyTeam airport so far. Far better than CDG, so better to have Schiphol for your intercontinental connections.

    Instead of doing a couple extra flights to get higher status, get a Privilum pass. It’ll get you lots of the perks of having status with an airline for the cost of a single flight.

    It’s a huge airport best to get to your gate first, then go for drinks , eats and shopping. Just to get local to gelato perspective.

    If landing here early and there’s a long line to get through passport control, go to the Starbucks or a food shop and the line will be gone by the time you’ve gotten your food.

    The best part about the airport is the connectivity by foot, you don't need to catch a tram or bus to reach the other end.

    you shouldn’t be on time for the flight; you should be far earlier than the flight because, in terminal building, it may take 30 mins going to gate. there must be signs showing distance/time to gate
