Valeriy KJuly 25, 2013Very comfortable airport overall. A library? Check. A playground? Check more than once. One hour of free WiFi, very good food. Coffee could be better :-).
Haytham IbrahimMay 1, 2016If you are in transit and this is your first entry to EU, you will get your passport stamped. There is a fast passport control Lane if your next transit flight is less than an hour.
Free wifi, easy to access, plenty of places to hang around between flights; very positive experience everytime I drop by
Aidu FApril 11, 2015Massive airport with good shops, restaurants and cafes to grab a bite&get some shopping done before your flight
AbdullahFebruary 8, 2019You can grab breakfast, coffee or last minute shop anywhere in this airport. Just made my favorite airport list ✅
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! 🚿🚿
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.
Ismail ZohdyJanuary 7, 2015Biggest airport i ever been too.. Amazing place with loads of stores and great helpful stuff every where
Find the outside terraces after you have cleared security and customs for some fresh air. Best of all is that smoking is not allowed there.
When lucky, you can see the KLM "Orange Pride" from the panorama terrace!
Love this airport the easiest to get around very friendly ppl & super helpful 👍🏼 Netherlands
Fernando CovasOctober 13, 2018Big, but extremely well organized and accesible. Note that to catch an uber you have to walk towards the hotels, exit the building, and cross the street.
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
Daniel O'ConnorAugust 31, 2019Terminal 2: a dreary experience, with a bar that closes at 6pm on a Saturday; passengers laying about in despair as their flights face delays.
Greg DiamondDecember 22, 2015There are many device charging stations throughout the airport, but they're frequently out of order. Look for the stands with red fire hoses, there's always a working 220v plug on the back.
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?
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.
The best airport security! You don’t have to take out your laptop or liquids
A great place for the whom loves endless waiting lines.
Tight security for a reason - got no reason to complain about... And they were fast in executing their work!! #LoveAmsterdam
Tolga OksayJanuary 9, 2016Wi-Fi is free! Dutch people are so normal with a free fast wifi! It's crazy!!
One of my two favorite airports in the world, great shopping and food in a walkable layout
Elahe MohamadiJanuary 27, 2018Don’t miss to see the big clock in the middle of the airport. Free high speed internet for one hour.
Hans AverdungMarch 26, 2018Best airport in Europe, and gezellige little terraces to enjoy coffee and spot airplanes
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!
SiobhánMarch 4, 2018I love this airport. Of all the airports I’ve flown through, this is easily the nicest on all levels.
One of the most comfortable and convenient airports I have ever been. All-in-one building but is still cozy
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.
Go to the gran cafe plaza for the best deals on lunch or dinner. It's before checking in, in Schiphol plaza
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.
JenKuduJuly 27, 2012KNOW if you purchase duty free to carry on from an airport other than schipol, it can be confiscated. Purchased duty free in FLR airport, carried on, connected in AMS for flight to USA. Not allowed!
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.
Andrew LeckieApril 2, 2013Not a bad airport to be stuck in. Check out the Yotel for a place to sleep/shower/relax on longer stops. For shorter stays find the "Comfort Seating" area + bring your drinks from the bar.
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.
When checking in with Lufthansa with a second citizenship use your foreign one to check in, not your local one, because otherwise you won't pass the visa check...
La Place by the entrance is always a good post-flight place for a coffee and some fresh food.
Anna ZhdanovaFebruary 1, 2015One of my favorite aports. Good connections, plenty if coffee shops and stores, free wi fi
Such a clean, well organized, easy-to-navigate airport!
Nice airport lots of small shops with fresh sandwiches and small coffee shops (as an beverage )
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.
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
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!
Veysel SoyluDecember 25, 2016One of the best and the biggest airport, not just in Europe but also all over the world. You can enjoy the time while waiting your flight 👍
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
Dasha PozinaJuly 22, 2016Has a lot of couches and cafés, though at night local birds and mice might come say hi.
Martin BrochhausAugust 28, 2014The "Behind The Scenes" guided bus tour around the airport is a great way to kill 90 minutes of time.
Don't leave the country without shopping peanut butter the specific store in the airport, it has more than 10 different tastes
