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.
My Destination AmsterdamOctober 11, 2011Why 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.
Kris TinSeptember 19, 2018it‘s pretty easy to find your way around. only ~30 minutes by bus to amsterdam city centre.
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)June 1, 2016If 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.
Andrea Bravo BaladoSeptember 3, 2012Next 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!
Renato ShimoseApril 1, 2015Very 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.
Denise SMarch 9, 2019I like this airport very much. Prices are better than in others, there are many choices if you need to wait long time.- 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.
One of the best airports in Europe if not the best. Pretty well connected with any city in the country
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.
Anna ZhdanovaOctober 29, 2017One of my favorite ones, ideal logistics, lots of shops and restaurants
The train to Rotterdam only takes 25 minutes and rides 5/hour if you want to experience something different from Amsterdam
KathleenSeptember 14, 2013Go 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.
David WendlandJanuary 5, 2019Transfers - 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
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.
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- 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.
PrithviApril 1, 2013Beautiful 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.
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.
Caddebostan English Academy www.caddeenglish.comOctober 18, 2016A great airport. They have showers at the airport and they are all clean. And if you want you can have a massage by paying.
Olivia IntanJuly 11, 2016Busiest, 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
M Fadzril FaezJuly 12, 2016One of my favourite airports & transits during travelling. The area is huge to explore around
AleksandarApril 14, 2013If 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.
Rey AniceteJuly 4, 2013Love the efficiency of Schiphol; if you're hungry though the "Noodles Bar" will see you through. Chinese guys speaks french, dutch and english!
The best airport in Europe. Casino's , Heineken bars , wine bars , good shopping and fast luggage handling.
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.
Lisa DarmasaApril 6, 2013Check in ur baggage at the counter airlines check in , tell you hv to do tax refund. Bring ur luggage & get stamp around 200m fr gate 27.Back to Airline CI counter to leave ur baggage & Que to tax rf
Amr FouadOctober 7, 2014Transportation from Airport with BVG take bus 69 and drop of at Meer En Vaart (15 min from airport) and take tram 1 or 17 to the central station ( Amsterdam central ) 15-20 min
Haymi BeharSeptember 30, 2012Great airport hub to USA & European destinations, nice Dutch delicatessen, &. Definitely go visit Amsterdam its very close and easy by train.
Anastasia PopovaJuly 12, 2014The best airport I have ever been to, easy to find everything, free Wi-Fi, chargers and lots of things to do: from shopping to library! Amazing!
Humble people..even sometimes security hold u in immigration office for a while to those who doenst have any invitation letter..just tell them that ur visit for vacation..hehheh..
At first it's not easy to get around, but with time you get used to it. Connection to Amsterdam is great!- If you have time to waste here, check out the mini Rijksmuseum, and head upstairs in Lounge 1 for the "Airport Park" which includes an outdoor patio!
The coolest airport I have ever visited. Huge area full of everything you need for any taste.
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.
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.
Glenys RyanFebruary 3, 2020It’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.- One of the best hubs in Europe. Watch out for your connections: if you have to cross the airport, it'll take over 30min!
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.
Henri VogelsJuly 15, 2018It’s Netherlands biggest airport. It’s fast, big and modern. A fine airport with connection over the world.
One of the biggest airport around Europe. You can spend a lot of hours wondering in shops etc.
The best SkyTeam airport so far. Far better than CDG, so better to have Schiphol for your intercontinental connections.
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
frickaMarch 21, 2016beautiful airport, all the shops have a quiet nice design and there are lots of plants but only starbucks has soymilk :(
A SDecember 16, 2016The 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.
Travelllll.comJuly 6, 2012Phew! One of the most busy airports in the world. Try not to get lost in here! Got a long layover? Here's 7 tips to improve your travel blog while you're on the free wifi, enjoy! - Read more
AbdullahFebruary 8, 2019You can grab breakfast, coffee or last minute shop anywhere in this airport. Just made my favorite airport list ✅
