The best SkyTeam airport so far. Far better than CDG, so better to have Schiphol for your intercontinental connections.
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.
AbdullahFebruary 8, 2019You can grab breakfast, coffee or last minute shop anywhere in this airport. Just made my favorite airport list ✅
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.
Long layover? Go upstairs near the giant food court near Concourse D. There's a hotel there that rents out shower cubicles for €10. Refreshing! 🚿🚿
Gina M.L.April 19, 2013Check out the Meditation Center if you are stressed from a long flight: A quiet room for individual prayer, meditation and reflection - or simply to find some peace and quiet.
Aidu FApril 11, 2015Massive airport with good shops, restaurants and cafes to grab a bite&get some shopping done before your flight
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
Aaron BookerFebruary 26, 2014I love the security staff here. The focus on the individual and they interview each person. Much preferred to the bureaucratic meat grinder of the US TSA.
Love this airport the easiest to get around very friendly ppl & super helpful 👍🏼 Netherlands
A great place for the whom loves endless waiting lines.
Ismail ZohdyJanuary 7, 2015Biggest airport i ever been too.. Amazing place with loads of stores and great helpful stuff every where
The best transit airport in EU! Period. Free wifi, attentive staff with humor, clean bathrooms, signage, queuing, sky lounges with nap rooms. And it is in Amsterdam. Need I say more?
If you need to go to near Museumplein or Leidseplein area, don't take a train (which will take you to Central Station), but prefer the bus 197 instead which will take you directly to your destination.
S. YasNovember 23, 2016This airport has one of the longest departure queues of all Europe airports. Come at least 3h before your flight unless you have a priority status.
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
One of my two favorite airports in the world, great shopping and food in a walkable layout
SiobhánMarch 4, 2018I love this airport. Of all the airports I’ve flown through, this is easily the nicest on all levels.
When lucky, you can see the KLM "Orange Pride" from the panorama terrace!
Hans AverdungMarch 26, 2018Best airport in Europe, and gezellige little terraces to enjoy coffee and spot airplanes
Tolga OksayJanuary 9, 2016Wi-Fi is free! Dutch people are so normal with a free fast wifi! It's crazy!!
The best airport security! You don’t have to take out your laptop or liquids
Vivek BansalFebruary 5, 2014If you have time to kill and are hungry don't bother going though to departures. Go towards the airport car park and head towards the Sheraton or Hilton hotels and enjoy some hassle free drink/food
La Place by the entrance is always a good post-flight place for a coffee and some fresh food.
Ashley TeoMay 5, 2012Go to bread and get the ham and cheese sandwich with sundries tomatoes! I think it might be the best sandwich I've ever had! Definitely getting one on my way back from my trip!
Large, but efficient airport. Not too short distances. Well organised. Quick documents check. Friendly staff, so over average.
RossMay 14, 2015Curious if you are over the luggage limit? Luggage scales are located right next to the self check-in stations. Weigh your luggage ahead of time and avoid paying extra fees. #baggage scales
Dexter FreshmanFebruary 22, 2019Security is fast and efficient. Loads of places to eat and shop. It’s a pleasure to wait for your flight here.
Such a clean, well organized, easy-to-navigate airport!
K HMay 5, 2023For £2 for five min, you can get a Shiatsu massage in one of those massage chairs. It’s near gate e18. Worth it.
Elahe MohamadiJanuary 27, 2018Don’t miss to see the big clock in the middle of the airport. Free high speed internet for one hour.
This place is so big and always feels chaotic to me. British Airways check in and Hayes are miles away. Factor in 40 mins to get to your gate, then of course you need another 40 for security.
Go to the gran cafe plaza for the best deals on lunch or dinner. It's before checking in, in Schiphol plaza
Never take risk to get to your gate on time, always go to your gate 10-20 minutes earlier just in case because gates could change. Happened to me many times and one time almost missed my flight.
Anna ZhdanovaFebruary 1, 2015One of my favorite aports. Good connections, plenty if coffee shops and stores, free wi fi
Nice airport lots of small shops with fresh sandwiches and small coffee shops (as an beverage )
Secret quiet spot: at the far end of section D (gate D87), there are reclined seats, an amazing view of the runways, and NO people. Very odd; very nice.
In international terminal (E,F) find a nice sofa in the KMN internet center with wifi internet - upstairs just next to the food court
One of the most comfortable and convenient airports I have ever been. All-in-one building but is still cozy
Dasha PozinaJuly 22, 2016Has a lot of couches and cafés, though at night local birds and mice might come say hi.
Kudzai M. MubaiwaMay 15, 2014There is a dedicated power platform for 2 prong connections.If not working, try find sockets on the fire thingies the red ones.Wifi is free,after 1session expires rehook up on the non English platform
Harith Al JahwariMarch 13, 2015One the best airports I've been to. Huge, but crowed was well managed. Lots of stores and food options.
Tight security for a reason - got no reason to complain about... And they were fast in executing their work!! #LoveAmsterdam
Don't worry about gifts for friends and family while in Amsterdam. Buy several Stroopwafle boxes on your way out.
Katja M.March 9, 2018Excellent WiFi. Quick city connection by train. Not much duty free shops, but a lot of flowers shops!
Martin BrochhausAugust 28, 2014The "Behind The Scenes" guided bus tour around the airport is a great way to kill 90 minutes of time.
The Panorama balcony is only available BEFORE security - so don’t go looking for it during your layover.
